This is our latest publication under the Holistyx Press banner. This book is targeted towards those business leaders who want to begin their generative AI journey for their business but are unable to discern between the “buzz” and the true business potential. The authors, who have years of experience driving digital business transformation, take you through a journey which begins with a baseline understanding of what generative AI, why it should matter to the reader and a primer on the data and model components. They include the introductory section by describing practical examples where generative AI has been successful.
In the second part of the book, they help you assess your company’s generative AI needs. They discuss how to harness this powerful technology through solid governance measures. They provide a solid business value model which you can reuse and measure for your own company’s potential.
In the third part of the work, they provide recommendations on organizational readiness, right from choosing the right prompts, getting the data estate ready and making sure that this technology is used ethically to avoid bias, fake news and other typical downsides of a generative AI strategy gown awry.
Finally, they close with recommendations and best practices that are summarized into a 10 step actionable playbook.
From the Authors
Hi there! This is Sree Sundaram, one of the authors of the book. It was a monumental journey to write a book on Generative AI using traditional methods. It would have been very easy for us for us to write the entire book in a tenth of the time using generative AI to write the content, format it and just publish it. But we did not take that approach. We truly wanted to provide a fully human perspective on this topic and I believe our first reviews indicate that we did achieve that. I look forward to your comments and critique, both brickbats and bouquets. Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn and exchange views on this subject. You can also listen to me rant and rave about the business value of it all in my podcast “The Valufication of Things” or read about it on my blog.
Have fun reading this book!
Writing this book was a lot of fun, in part because of the fast-moving nature of the topic. Aspects of Generative AI were changing as we wrote the book. While this is the first published version, there were probably 3 prior versions that didn’t make it to press because we had to add entire chapters or update existing ones. Our approach is grounded in understanding the human dimensions of this topic. Ultimately there is only one question that matters: Can human beings improve their lives thru applying these technologies? Building on that foundation, we look to define the potential value (to businesses in this case), offer guidance in applying the new technology, and help craft a compelling narrative to help others’ understanding. We sincerely hope we have been successful in creating such a book and (more importantly) hope you have enjoyed reading it and found something of value in it.
