Moving from consulting into an in-house AI strategy role – need resources to prep
I've spent my career in consulting (Big 4, India offshore unit), and I'm now moving into an industry role as an AI strategist. Excited and a bit nervous.
The JD in plain terms is "use AI to improve internal processes," but I know the reality on the ground is different from how it reads on paper.
What I'm trying to get sharper on before I join:
- AI applied to real internal process improvement, not just generic GenAI demos
- How firms are actually driving adoption across teams, not just running pilots
- Where the real value is landing vs. the hype
I've got the basics down (prompting, RAG, the standard leadership AI certs), but I want to go a level deeper and stay current on where things are actually moving.
Looking for: courses, newsletters, communities, or good case studies on enterprise AI for internal operations. Any subreddits or forums worth following are also welcome. Just trying to learn and hit the ground running.
