Twin Wolves

Balancing risk and reward to make the most of AI

Your company's AI transformation represents exciting new opportunities. But leaders often fall short of the mark, either diving in head-first or sitting on the sidelines. Both approaches leave the business at a disadvantage.

Twin Wolves describes a better approach by seeing your company's AI efforts through the lens of risk-taking and risk management. The key is to balance AI's opportunities and dangers to make the most of this technology.

If your company is on an AI journey — whether you're working with predictive modes like ML/AI, or genAI systems like LLMs and chatbots — Twin Wolves will help you carve out your ideal path.

About you, the reader

Are you a CTO, Head of Product, or similar role? You are responsible for making AI a reality in your company. I wrote this book with you in mind.

What about other executives and stakeholders? If you're a CEO, CFO, CISO, or General Counsel, you'll also find this book useful. It will help you understand how to approach AI and how to evaluate your company's efforts.

This is not a technical book. There are no code samples. No specific tools are mentioned. This is all high-level, strategic thinking.

I realize people in these roles don't have a lot of free time. That's why I've honed the message down to a very lean volume. The PDF version is just 70 pages Most sections are easily digestible in short reads, just a couple of pages in length.

About me, the author

I'm Q McCallum. I help companies navigate their AI journey from zero to production and beyond.

I'm I’ve been in the tech industry since the Dot-Com era, with a focus on data since the terms "predictive analytics" and "Big Data" were still gaining traction.

I've helped clients with matters such as providing strategic AI guidance to executives and product teams, surfacing AI use cases, developing AI models, and performing due diligence.

I'm a published author with multiple bylines from O'Reilly Media, including articles on their Radar platform on topics such as AI, business models, and N-sided marketplaces. I've also delivered talks at major industry conferences and private events.

After years of working with companies on AI, I realized that I'd been using risk management principles as my guide. So I've pulled those thoughts together into this book.
