EARLY READER FEEDBACK

Grounded in
real decisions.

“What I found most valuable is how Christophe turns Generative AI from an abstract technology topic into a practical management system that finance leaders can actually operate. I’d recommend it to CFOs and finance leaders who want to move beyond AI experimentation and build a structured, governed path from use case to pilot, adoption and scale.”

Good to know

Is this suitable for me?

Yes, if you want a practical way to understand and use AI at work. The examples and emphasis are in finance, but the approach to choosing use cases, verifying results and helping people adopt AI is useful across functions and industries. No coding background is needed.

Should I choose print or PDF?

Choose the paperback, available now on Amazon, if you prefer a physical book. The hardcover is available from 9 October 2026. Amazon shows the current ordering and delivery options for each edition. The PDF keeps the original page layout, including diagrams and tables, for reading on a computer or tablet. All three formats contain the complete book. The companion toolkit is a separate purchase or part of the PDF + Toolkit bundle.

What is included in the bundle?

The PDF + Toolkit bundle includes the complete book and ten companion resources: three Excel workbooks, three Word templates and four printable PDF guides, plus a Start Here guide and licence. The individual bundle is for one user.

Can I buy the toolkit separately?

Yes. The standalone companion toolkit costs €69.99 plus applicable tax for one user. You do not need to buy the book again or show proof of a previous purchase.

How do I access my digital purchase?

Use the “View content” link in your Gumroad receipt and open the Start Here guide first if you bought the toolkit. For help, send an enquiry with your order reference.
