What is Be AI Ready?
Welcome to Be AI Ready — a publication about AI, work, technology and the operating logic beneath it all.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Executives and business leaders navigating transformational AI implementations.
AI is not just a tool — it’s reshaping how work gets done.
Be AI Ready is your guide to making sure your organization doesn’t just adopt AI — it adapts to it.
This isn’t about hype.
This is about operational change, strategic frameworks, and real readiness — for the leaders responsible for making AI work inside their companies.
I write for:
CIOs, COOs, and VPs navigating change
Strategy and ops teams trying to modernize systems
Innovators building the bridge between potential and performance
Whether you're piloting Microsoft Copilot, rethinking workflows, or trying to wrangle governance, Be AI Ready helps you:
Cut through the noise
Ask better questions
Build systems that last
Actually deliver value from AI
You’ll find essays, frameworks, observations from the field, and the occasional sharp take. You won’t find trend-chasing, breathless futurism, or vague calls to “embrace disruption.”
I believe the future of work won’t be decided by AI alone — but by how intelligently and intentionally we build with it.
Be AI Ready.
Because the real transformation doesn’t start with tech —
it starts with how we think.
🤝 About Me
I’m Erick Straghalis — President and Chief Strategist at StitchDX, where we help companies design and implement digital technology solutions on AI and cloud services.
I’ve spent years at the intersection of strategy, tech, and operational change. My work lives in the space between vision and execution — and this Substack is where I share what I’ve learned (and what I’m still figuring out).
