The AI Failure Handbook
The Ultimate Guide to Screwing Up Your AI Transformation. A handbook, and a satire modelled on the OSS Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
“It’s time we look at what doesn’t work, laugh, so we can succeed with a smile.”
What's inside
- A satirical field guide, inspired by the WWII-era OSS sabotage manual, to how organisations reliably sabotage their own AI transformations.
- Written for executives, transformation leads, and anyone who's watched a multimillion-dollar AI initiative quietly die in production.
- Reverse-psychology satire rather than another framework or case study: governance theatre, vanity metrics, and the “Just Do AI” mindset, catalogued with dark humour.
- 58 pages, published by Bonufied in 2026.
