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 MAkes Us Unique
Real adoption is built, not announced.
We start with leadership and expand into teams. Each participant builds and refines their own custom AI work partner and specialist tools tied directly to their role.
The focus is on capabilities and habits. Clear expectations. Practical use. Shared standards across the teams.
