Writing on enterprise AI, from real rollouts
These articles come from the work our team does with business and technology leaders. They cover how to get an organization ready for AI, how to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot so people actually use it, and how to put governance around AI agents before they multiply. Several pieces look at how AI is changing manufacturing, retail, healthcare and education, and a few go hands on with Power Platform and Project Online. They are written in plain language, with no hype. They are meant for executives, IT and security leaders, and the business owners who sponsor AI projects and need to know what works and what does not. Each article is written by founder Ross Ghiasi and opens on LinkedIn. Start with the six featured pieces, or jump to the topic that matches the decision in front of you.
