Overview

Stop Watching AI Pilots Die. Start Generating Revenue in 90 Days. While 74% of AI initiatives fail in ""pilot purgatory,"" this practical guide reveals the frameworks that separate profitable AI deployments from expensive experiments. In this extensively updated second edition, AI strategist Scott A. Cole introduces revolutionary agentic frameworks that transform AI from a cost center into a profit engine. Drawing from real implementations, this book exposes why most companies fail at AI-and exactly how to join the successful minority. What's New in the 2nd Edition: Chapter 11: From Single Agent to Agent Teams - the complete 90-day playbook Multi-agent orchestration using n8n, AutoGen, and LangChain The Agent Multiplier Effect: single agents deliver 3-5x ROI, agent teams deliver 10-15x Updated frameworks from 2024-2025 implementations The Five Non-Negotiable Laws of AI ROI: Single Battle - Focus all resources on one high-value problem Data Truth - Your AI's IQ is capped by your data quality MVP Metric - Define failure before writing code 90-Day Launch - Velocity trumps perfection Human-in-the-Loop - AI augments intelligence, not judgment You'll Discover: Why 70% of AI challenges stem from people and processes, not technology The War Council framework for maintaining business accountability How to build a Guardian System preventing drift and decay The Data Readiness Assessment that saves months of wasted effort Why human feedback in the first 90 days is your most valuable asset The Agent Selection Matrix for choosing your first autonomous system Critical Problems Solved: Escaping Pilot Purgatory where experiments never reach production Building AI that delivers measurable ROI in weeks, not years Creating systematic retraining based on drift detection Measuring actual business impact vs vanity metrics Scaling from single victories to coordinated agent teams What Makes This Different: This isn't about algorithms or coding. It's about the protocol that turns AI investments into profit centers. Includes real frameworks: Kill Switch clauses, the 90-Day Launch Plan, and Guardian Council structures-all battle-tested for accountability and results. Who Should Read This: C-Suite executives spending millions with no positive ROI CTOs justifying AI spend with measurable results Business leaders stuck in endless experiments IT Directors implementing enterprise AI strategies Operations leaders fighting model drift Innovation managers scaling successful pilots Anyone who needs AI to pay, not just perform The ROI Math: Single agents: 3-5x ROI in 12 months. Coordinated agent teams: 10-15x ROI. This isn't theory-it's what happens when you follow the protocol. From the Review by Professor Stephen J. Kurtzman II: ""His Five Laws of AI-ROI are non-negotiable-follow them, or watch your AI initiatives crumble... this is THE playbook you need to turn your ambition into measurable results."" About the 2025 Update: When the first edition launched in November 2024, multi-agent systems were emerging. Today they're production-standard. This edition adds the complete playbook for orchestrating agent teams with modern platforms and compressed timelines. This book focuses on business strategy and implementation, not technical programming. It's built on the principle that profitable AI requires a protocol, not a prayer. Skip the theory. Ignore the hype. This is your blueprint for AI that pays.
