My Approach

Get everyone around the table

Employees are understandably nervous about all this new tech, not quite ready to trust AI. At the same time, they are curious and looking to safely peek, poke and learn. In fact, sometimes people are using AI tools under the radar. But if this experimentation is not socialized and shared, it’s of limited use to the full org.

I designed several types of learning sessions for business teams to explore genAI. It’s ideally suited for leaders aiming to build AI understanding across their enterprise. It’s an engaging entry point into the world of becoming an AI-first, AI-smart and AI-future-proofed organization. And it can set the right tone for your organization’s journey.

Balance pros and cons, find the trade-offs

Participants not only level-set on AI, but they experience a new way to apply design thinking leveraging ‘reverse innovation’; i.e., identifying new capabilities that can solve problems formerly considered intractable, or open opportunity spaces never even considered as such in the past.

The cards provide an implementation-agnostic way to level-set terminology and to model creative uses for genAI. The cards help teams balance opportunity (12 functional cards) with risk (12 danger zone cards).
