Short description
Fifty words for your coverage
AI has made engineers faster, but enterprise value hasn't followed. AI Is the Easy Part shows technology leaders why — the constraint has shifted from execution to coordination, decisions, and learning — and how to redesign the operating model, with diagnostics, frameworks, and a ninety-day plan, so AI capability finally reaches the customer.

Quotes from early readers, cleared for use in reviews and coverage.
Every organisation I work with is producing better output with AI. Very few are producing better business outcomes. This book is the clearest explanation I've read of the gap between the two and, as the title promises, the hard part turns out to be organisational, not technical. I'd strongly recommend it to any mid-to-senior leader who has the mandate to make a step change with AI but keeps running into forces inside the organisation that no one has named yet.
Bharat approaches the topic of AI business value from a real technology practitioner's standpoint. This is not theory. This is reality. He provides excellent framing for understanding why the business value translation challenge is not a trivial one, and a very practical framework for how to unlock it.

Quotable lines
What presents as an AI-adoption challenge is almost always an organisational-design challenge wearing engineering clothes.
An assistant makes a human faster. An agent changes what the human's job is.
AI does not create organisational memory; it amplifies whatever memory already exists.
Cheap execution makes a feature factory worse, not better.
An AI-native enterprise is a property of the operating model, not the tool budget.
Technology can be bought. A well-curated, AI-accessible organisational memory has to be built — and the building is the moat.
