The AI Stewardship Field Guide
Most executives are being told to “do something” about AI.
Vendors promise speed. Consultants promise transformation.
Very few people are talking honestly about trust, judgment, culture, and the cost of getting this wrong.
This 7-section guide exists for leaders operating without a dedicated AI strategy team who still carry full responsibility for outcomes.
It is not:
- A tool comparison
- A list of prompts
- A vendor-backed framework
It is a decision-support field guide for navigating AI adoption without triggering cultural damage, vendor lock-in, or long-term strategic debt.
The guide is based on over 100 conversations with CEOs, founders, and operators across technology, professional services, manufacturing, and healthcare - focused on what actually breaks when AI is introduced poorly, and what quietly works when it’s stewarded well.
Inside, you’ll find:
- A decision framework for determining what should happen now, later, or never
- Guardrails for introducing AI without eroding trust or triggering fear
- A communication playbook for executives facing anxious teams
- A practical approach to piloting AI without hiding usage or creating shadow risk
- A vendor evaluation framework that restores leverage to leadership
- Clear implementation pathways that preserve optionality
This guide does not make decisions for you.
It exists to ensure the decisions you make remain yours.
