It's almost always the wrong suspect.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery executive who has quietly shelved an AI project has the same explanation ready: the model underperformed, the vendor oversold, the technology \"wasn't there yet.\" In \u003ci\u003ePrevail: What Leaders Must Do Now That Machines Can't Manage\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Tim Bottke argues that this story is a convenient way to avoid the real culprit -- a chain of \u003ci\u003emanagement\u003c\/i\u003e decisions made long before anyone trained a model. The bug isn't in the technology. It's in us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottke turns two decades of decision data into a working diagnostic. PREVAIL starts at the ground floor, where leaders reach for the tool before they've named the problem, and moves up through data, experimentation, ownership, measurement, funding, and governance. The uncomfortable finding is that the damage concentrates on the ground floor and compounds as management builds on those decisions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will discover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy AI initiatives fail and how to course correct before the budget is committed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter checklists that allow for a working audit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAction lists for the operator fixing a rollout, the executive shaping a portfolio, and the board member or investor stress-testing a proposal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe one question that predicts success better than anything: \u003ci\u003ewhat problem does this solve?\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComposite case studies based on public filings that show each failure pattern in the wild, and the fix that would have caught it\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA shared vocabulary for boards, investors, and operators to pressure-test any AI proposal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat the market actually does when companies admit an AI failure \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePrevail\u003c\/i\u003e is written for those who need something firmer than hype to judge what's in front of them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50443512545473,"sku":"9781394454938","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.porchlightbooks.com\/products\/prevail-tim-bottke-9781394454938","provider":"Porchlight Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
