AI Implementation
Coming in Early 2027 to Point Peter Press
A compelling leadership book about how to plan, execute, and assess an enterprise-wide implementation of AI.
Enterprise AI Implementation: Higher Education Edition strips away the hype and the panic to deliver an honest, battle-tested blueprint for the future of academia. Written by veteran higher education leaders Steven Burrell and Graham Hagerty, this manifesto moves beyond reactive policies and surface-level pilots.
What leaders will discover:
- The Skeptic’s Case, Argued at Full Strength: Why you must stress-test your business case against real evidence on productivity limits, cognitive offloading, and structural unreliability before facing your faculty senate.
- The Inverted Bloom’s Taxonomy: How unmediated AI threatens the learning cycle—and how embedding "productive friction" preserves student agency, inquiry, and mastery.
- Integrated Governance & Risk Architecture: Actionable playbooks to align executive sponsorship, faculty senates, cybersecurity, and enterprise risk management into a unified strategy.
- A Balanced Value Portfolio: Frameworks that measure success through Return on Investment (ROI), Return on Employee (ROE), and Return on Future (ROF) without losing sight of AI FinOps and total cost of ownership.
The goal of the AI era is not frictionless automation; it is meaningful learning and institutional stewardship. Discover how to lead your campus through the AI revolution with rigor, discipline, and humanity intact.
