How to Make AI Work for UsLink to heading
Modern teams are already using AI—some of it intentionally, much of it accidentally. The real question is: how do we make AI useful without getting in the way?
The Practical FramingLink to heading
AI should reduce toil and improve signal. Anything else is a distraction.
What AI Should DoLink to heading
- Remove repetitive work (status updates, note-taking, summaries)
- Improve decision quality (surfacing risks, highlighting trends)
- Boost momentum (turn notes into tasks, tasks into plans)
Keep Humans in the LoopLink to heading
Design workflows where humans review and approve. AI drafts, people decide. Create clear handoffs:
- AI drafts outcomes and risks
- Manager edits tone/priority
- Team confirms feasibility
Metrics That MatterLink to heading
Track changes in:
- Cycle time
- Meeting load
- Decision lead time
- Team sentiment
If those aren’t improving, the AI isn’t working for you—yet.
