About the author
W. Perry Underdown
W. Perry Underdown is the author of The Enterprise AI Blueprint (Underdown Press), an executive guide to strategy, process, architecture, governance, and sustainable value for enterprise AI.
The book argues that AI initiatives rarely fail on model quality. They fail on the organizational system around the model: undefined business problems, unredesigned processes, untrusted data, ambiguous accountability, late governance, and pilots that never prove value.
This companion toolkit turns those frameworks into 16 working assessments, planners, and decision tools so leadership teams can measure where they stand and act on it.
