Applied AI Leadership: A Practitioner's Guide to Enterprise AI Transformation

By PRAVEEN C SATTARU

The hype phase of AI is over. The deployment phase has begun.

Your board wants a strategy. Your competitors are running pilots. Your employees are already using unauthorized AI tools. But the path forward is littered with risks: security vulnerabilities, runaway costs, and a workforce paralyzed by fear.

Applied AI Leadership is your pragmatic, hype-free guide to enterprise AI transformation.

Written by Praveen Sattaru-a seasoned engineer with 20 years of experience building large-scale systems at Microsoft and T-Mobile-this book bridges the gap between boardroom strategy and technical implementation.

Inside, you'll discover:

How LLMs actually work (without the math PhD)Enterprise architecture patterns that survive productionRAG: grounding AI in your proprietary dataSecurity guardrails against prompt injection and data leakageBuilding AI teams without hiring 50 ML PhDsA "Crawl, Walk, Run" roadmap to avoid PoC purgatory

Includes The Executive Playbook: A 90-day action plan for leaders to take immediate control of their AI strategy.

This isn't about replacing your workforce-it's about empowering them. Stop reacting to the hype. Start leading the transformation.
