AI risk and readiness, from Jacob Pearson. A weekly newsletter and a set of courses for owners, executives, managers and the people who work for them.
Put AI and automation in under controls. Get full value from the software you already pay for. Train a team that can use both.
Move from checking tasks to setting direction, and build a team that can work without you.
Build skills AI cannot easily replace, and a plan you run yourself.
Every AI tool has a named owner and a place on one list.
AI reaches only what the task needs.
A named person approves what matters, and can switch it off.
Every action can be rebuilt, and the guards are tested with bad input.
One idea. One tool. One action. One question. A short issue you can read, use and act on the same day.
I am Jacob Pearson. I was an Army combat medic sergeant, then spent more than a decade in finance. Four times, before anyone was talking about AI, my job was putting new software into a finance function without breaking the numbers. Now I build AI agents and automation by hand.
If a decision on your desk is bigger than a course, I also do management consulting for CEOs, Boards and PE firms.
