AI is a magnifier.
Whatever already exists in your business—whether it is clarity or confusion—AI will simply make it more visible. If your processes are currently messy, technology only makes them messier faster.
The Readiness Brief helps you stop looking for tools and start looking for leverage. It is a 10-minute thinking exercise to ensure you are building on a foundation of clarity, not chaos.
What’s Inside the Brief?
The Friction Lens
Pinpoint exactly where work gets harder than it needs to be and where information bottlenecks occur.
The Human Boundary
Define where your judgment is non-negotiable and must stay human, no matter how capable the system becomes.
Strategic Guardrails
Ask the questions that disqualify the wrong solutions before they cost you time and money.
A Companion to Your Leadership Journey
This Readiness Brief is more than a worksheet; it is a practical application of the frameworks found in The AI Decision Advantage. While the book follows the story of a leader named John navigating technical uncertainty, this Brief allows you to apply those same lessons to your own organization.
Whether you are currently reading the book or are just starting to explore what is possible, this exercise provides the immediate orientation needed to lead with intent.
A Guide, Not a Guru.
Robert W. Dempsey works at the intersection of technology, leadership, and human judgment. With a career dedicated to helping organizations navigate complex technical shifts, he has seen firsthand that the most durable advantages don't come from chasing every new tool—they come from being thoughtful, deliberate, and grounded in clear strategy.
Robert believes that in an age of automation, the most valuable asset a leader has is their ability to ask better questions. He developed the AI Decision Readiness Brief and wrote The AI Decision Advantage to empower leaders of mid-sized businesses to cut through the noise, protect what they’ve built, and move forward on their own terms. When he isn't writing or consulting, he is focused on the belief that good decisions are built through clarity, restraint, and trust.
