McFadyen Digital Launches New Book AI Best Practices for Commerce 

Book organizes 125+ real‑world use cases across the commerce value stream with an adoption playbook and technology primer 

VIENNA, VA — January 12, 2026 — McFadyen Digital today announced the release of AI Best Practices for Commerce: Proven Use Cases of Artificial Intelligence, now available on Amazon in hardcover and Kindle editions. Authored by Tom McFadyen with contributions from domain experts at McFadyen Digital, the book is a practical field guide to applying AI across the commerce lifecycle. 

Organized for business leader consumption, the book maps more than 125 real‑world use cases to the commerce and software development value streams so teams can find quick wins and chart an adoption roadmap tied to measurable outcomes. Additional chapters cover implementation best practices and a technology primer to help leaders move from pilot to profit. 

“AI has moved from a series of disconnected experiments to an operating layer inside every business. Leaders don’t need more theory—they need a map to value that respects strategy, data realities, and governance. That’s what we set out to deliver,” said Tom McFadyen, CEO of McFadyen Digital and the book’s lead author. 

This is the fourth book from McFadyen Digital in its Best Practices series, following 2021’s Marketplace Best Practices, which held Amazon category best‑seller status for over a year.  A dozen McFadyen Digital experts spent over half a year and thousands of hours researching, documenting, and reviewing this 524-page, 200,000 word AI reference guide. 

What’s inside AI Best Practices for Commerce: 

• 125+ business use cases organized for practical deployment, with pointers to deeper online resources. 
• An adoption and scaling playbook covering strategy, costs & ROI, organizational change, responsible operations, and prompt engineering.
