About the Book

AI is no longer optional. Companies that integrate it strategically grow up to 650% faster than those adopting it tactically. Yet most business leaders struggle to move beyond pilots and proof-of-concepts. The gap between AI potential and AI reality remains vast.

This book bridges the divide between technical AI and business strategy. Drawing from 60+ case studies and proprietary frameworks developed through training 1,400+ executives at ESADE, it offers a rigorous yet accessible guide to leading with AI—moving beyond the hype and into actionable transformation.

You will learn to build defensible competitive advantage through the AI Moat, apply the MELDS+ framework for sustainable performance gains, and navigate the strategic horizons from operational efficiency to business model reinvention. No engineering background required—just vision and willingness to lead.
