AAISM’s governance guidance emphasizes that adopting AI for competitive advantage must begin with a comprehensive strategic roadmap for integration. This roadmap aligns AI adoption with business objectives, sets priorities, defines milestones, and ensures coordination across functions. Risk management, training, and tool procurement are essential, but they are tactical steps that follow once the strategic direction is defined. Without a roadmap, adoption becomes fragmented and risks misalignment with business strategy. The most important consideration at the adoption stage is therefore creating a strategic integration roadmap.
