Unshakeable AI: How to Turn Chaos into Clarity, Confidence and Trust

A simplified guide for leaders navigating AI for the first time.

This book is not about tools, trends, or hype. It is about leadership, governance, and building the foundation required to adopt AI safely and at scale.

Most AI failures are not technical failures. They are leadership failures.

Organizations rush to adopt AI without clearly defining the problem, testing assumptions, or understanding the risks. Isolated wins appear promising but do not scale. Shadow AI grows quietly. Data quality erodes trust. Governance shows up too late, after something breaks.

This book challenges the idea that speed equals advantage. It makes the case that clarity, control, and trust are the real accelerators.

Drawing on experience spanning U.S. Navy aviation, Fortune 500 transformation, startups, and big tech, Unshakeable AI reframes AI adoption as an operating discipline. Like aviation, AI requires clear objectives, measurable readiness, defined go or no-go thresholds, and human accountability at every stage.

The book introduces the 20-Point AI Adoption Framework©, a practical flight plan designed to help organizations move from experimentation to execution without losing control. Each chapter focuses on a single foundational question leaders should be asking right now and provides a simple framework and short test to translate insight into action.

Key themes include:

  • Why AI risk is created by governance gaps, not model limitations

  • How Shadow AI and poor data quality undermine trust and scale

  • Why data stewardship and readiness scoring matter more than buying better tools

  • How human-in-the-loop oversight creates trust and resilience

  • Why ethical, operational, and environmental considerations must be built in from the start

Unshakeable AI is written for leaders who want to adopt AI deliberately, govern it responsibly, and remain accountable for the systems they introduce.

AI will amplify whatever foundation you give it. This book helps you build one that lasts.
