Turn AI ambition into accountable execution.
AI Due Diligence: Clarity | Control | Confidence gives leaders a framework to make confident, defensible decisions in an AI-driven world.

Expose “Shadow AI” - Uncover where AI is already operating and who is truly accountable for its decisions.

Set “Instant Kill Criteria” - Shut down drifting or high-risk models before they impact your business, reputation, or valuation.

What People Are Saying

This book definitely fills a gap that we have at our company. While leaders are pushing AI there is not a process for us to become involved in the outcome or to let them know the risks that we see.

I was excited to see how this book can help leaders know how important it is to upskill Project Managers; how to use them with AI more efficiently and to ease off the tension people are going through about losing their jobs.

I need something I can recomment to leaders that is a NIST-type checklist for implementing AI in our company, and I found it with this AI Due Diligence Process.

This book is an excellent read especially for those that want insight into the AI world. I found it’s insightful from a financial perspective too - it would have helped me in accounting management especially in forecasting and budgeting. Kim Resch, you’re a brilliant writer! I look forward to your next book.

This concept is of the utmost importance in our new modern world. Accountability and transparency should be the direction that AI takes companies of distinction. You hit the nail on the head, Kim.

AI Due Diligence Book Launch & Leadership Discussion
Wednesday, July 8
5:30-7:00 pm
Undivided Experience Center, Chesterfield, MO
Every day, leaders are faced with new questions:
Should we be investing in AI? What are the risks?
And perhaps most importantly, how do we make smart decisions without falling behind?
After 25 years of helping companies navigate technology waves, I kept seeing the same pattern. Smart leaders. Good intentions. And a gap between the hype they were hearing and the reality landing on their desks.
That's why I wrote AI Due Diligence.
Not as a technical guide or vendor pitch. But as a practical framework to help leaders evaluate AI with clarity, confidence, and good judgment.
Join me for an engaging evening of conversation, networking, and practical insights on what leaders need to know right now about AI decision-making, governance, and responsible adoption.
Complimentary event. Seats are limited.
Check back regularly for more scheduled events in Scottsdale and online.
