Did you guys see this IBM study?
They surveyed 2,000 CEOs across 33 countries and one of the findings literally made me put my phone down for a second. Every. Single. CEO. who already has a Chief AI Officer on their team expects that role to become MORE influential by 2030. Not some of them. All of them. And I know what you might be thinking - "Nicole, that's enterprise. That's not me." But hear me out. Because here's what I took away from this: the role of Chief AI Officer isn't about having a title or a big budget. It's about having someone in the organization whose whole job is to make sure your AI is actually working for you - with your judgment built into it, not just vibes and generic prompts. And if you're a small business owner? That person is you. Whether you've claimed that role or not. I thought about this all week because I watched it play out live inside my Quantum AI Collective. This week, 5 of my clients built their own personal AI Chief of Staff powered by Claude. And I don't mean a chatbot. I mean a full system that knows how they think, speaks in their voice, and runs their actual workflows without them having to get involved every single day. Watching it click for them was one of those moments. The rest of the group saw it happening and were like "okay, I need that." Now everyone's building. That's the thing about seeing proof in your AI community vs. reading about it online or on YT. It hits different. For you, that's the difference between having your own agentic Chief AI Officer and just being a person with a lot of subscriptions. Let me know if you want the step by step on how to build your own personal Chief AI Officer that can help you to reduce decion fatigue and manage your day to day more efficiently. IMB article below.
