Strategic Thinking

AI use is growing, but more activity doesn’t automatically mean better results. When employees keep their AI experiments to themselves, managers miss opportunities to spot risks, learn what’s working, and help effective practices spread.

This workshop equips managers to make AI use more visible and create the conditions that turn individual experimentation into organizational value. Managers learn to build trust, understand what holds employees back from sharing, and strengthen the team practices that support effective adoption.

Participants leave with practical ways to encourage open conversations about AI, identify barriers to adoption, and take action to improve how their teams use AI.

Behavior

Surface the Shadow helps managers create the trust employees need to openly share how they’re using AI. 

Managers practice leading with curiosity, understanding what’s driving AI use and what holds people back from sharing, and responding with practical support to address concerns, identify risks, and learn what’s working.

The payoff: Greater visibility into AI use, earlier opportunities to address risks, and more opportunities to share effective practices across teams.

What This Workshop Delivers

During this workshop, participants will:

  • Determine whether AI has created meaningful time savings after accounting for the full work required to use it.
  • Use the science-backed Clear then Steer Method to set expectations for how employees should direct time saved by AI toward a strategic priority.
  • Coach employees through changes in capacity rather than assuming they will know what to do with the extra time.
  • Use the Attention Before Action Behavior when delegating and coaching so employees think critically before relying on AI recommendations.
  • Help employees question, verify, and add their own judgment to AI-assisted work.
  • Delegate AI-assisted work in ways that keep ownership with the employee.
  • Identify which moments in consequential work require closer human review.
  • Evaluate five critical conditions for ensuring team members have what they need to own and defend work they use AI for.
  • Design Selective Oversight statements that focus attention where it matters most without creating unnecessary review burden.

After this workshop, participants will know how to:

  • Use shared language to coach stronger judgment, ownership, and AI use across their team.
  • Create a Clear then Steer statement for a real task on their team, including the capacity AI creates and the priority that capacity should support.
  • Coach employees through AI-driven time savings and set clearer expectations for how they use that time.
  • Use Attention Before Action to delegate and coach a real piece of work while keeping employee judgment and critical thinking involved.
  • Use a checklist to ensure team members have what they need to own and defend AI-assisted work.

How this workshop accelerates your AI transformation

Managing People in AI-Enabled Work helps managers turn time savings into useful capacity, coach employees to stay engaged in the thinking, and give people the conditions they need to review AI-assisted work well. Managers learn to set realistic productivity expectations without treating every minute saved as instant capacity. They delegate in ways that strengthen critical thinking and support employees without taking ownership of the work away from them. The goal is to help managers get more value from AI-enabled work while continuing to develop capable, thoughtful people.
