The most important shift in using AI strategically is timing. Bring it into the work while the outcome is clear and the path is still open, so it can help you think through how to get there.
We teach people to start with a Strategic Briefing called OCH: Outcome, Context, Help. This gives your AI Work Partner the end result you’re trying to create, the situation it needs to understand, so it can help you think through the best path forward.
It’s a small but powerful shift in how you work with AI, and one of the fastest ways to move from tactical use to becoming an AI Director.
AI is moving quickly, and the ways we work with it keep getting better. My client work gives me a front-row seat to the practices, habits, and approaches that are creating real value.
Directing Intelligence: How to Partner with AI for Your Best Work Yet lays out my complete method. My Substack Essays go deeper into important ideas and emerging questions. And the Weekly AI Insights email shares what I’m learning right now.
Explore the ideas, and if you want to put them into practice with your organization, let’s talk.
What we believe
We believe AI offers an extraordinary opportunity for people to do the best, most meaningful work of their lives. With AI as a Work Partner, people can think bigger, solve harder problems, make better decisions, and contribute more of what makes them uniquely human.
We're passionate about helping people develop these capabilities so they can do more valuable work, grow professionally, and devote more energy to creativity, leadership, and working well together.
