Leading Teams in the AI Era

Course code: PT1020

Bridging Strategy and Value Creation The work of this day sits with the person who decides what the team will run. Staff are already using chat tools on drafts, notes, and status. What is missing is a choice: which two workflows are worth funding, who owns them, who checks the work, and what would make you stop. The day is that choice, written as a plan a sponsor can fund or end. An agent, in the language teams are already hearing, is a tool that can take steps toward a goal. The decision still belongs to the manager. This course is for that decision. People who need practice finishing a document or a deck are better served by a productivity class. This room is for the operating plan. No coding, and no license, required. You bring one team workflow, with confidential details removed. The lab packet covers anyone who cannot bring one.

About This Course

Duration: 1 Day Skills Gained

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Tell a personal time-saver from a workflow the team should fund

  • Choose two workflows using value, how often they happen, and how easy they are to undo

  • Name the owner, the reviewer, and the person who handles the exception

  • Write the condition that ends a pilot, before the pilot starts

  • Brief the team and the sponsor on the same 90-day plan

Who Can Benefit

This course is designed for:

  • People managers, team leads, and directors who sponsor how the team uses AI

  • Operations and product owners accountable for the quality of the work

  • Chiefs of staff and program leads who shape how a team adopts a tool

Prerequisites

Participants should enter this course with:

  • Have seen generative AI used at work, as a user or as a reviewer

  • No coding background required

  • No tool license required

Organizational Objectives

This course assists organizations to:

  • Move from scattered chat use to two workflows with an owner

  • Make the review and the exception path visible before anyone scales a tool

  • Give sponsors a 90-day plan they can continue or stop

  • Keep judgment with the manager, including where a tool takes steps on its own

Software

A modern web browser and an internet connection. No administrator access. The exercises are plans, briefs, and a pilot card. A chat tool is available in the lab for illustrating a workflow, and is not required to finish.

You'll Learn

Module 1 — Choose the Two Workflows

By the end of this module, you will be able to separate a personal shortcut from work the team should manage.

  • A faster afternoon for one person is not the same as a better decision for the team

  • Fits: drafts, summaries, sorting, a first pass at an analysis, notes into actions

  • Stays with a person: a regulated decision, a new judgment, a promise to a customer

  • A license for everyone still needs an owner and a check

Hands-on Lab: Score three workflows from your team, or from the packet. Keep two. Write why you set the third aside.

Module 2 — Name the Owner

By the end of this module, you will be able to describe one workflow on a single page a sponsor can approve.

  • What starts it, what goes in, what the tool does, who checks it, and who uses the result

  • When a chat habit is enough, and when the team needs something configured

  • Who drafts, who reviews, and who owns the exception

  • What data may be used, stated before the pilot

Hands-on Lab: Write a one-page brief for one workflow. A partner should be able to say who is accountable without a meeting.

Module 3 — Decide What Ends the Pilot

By the end of this module, you will be able to say what good enough means, and what ends the trial.

  • The check a reviewer actually does. A number that does not trace to a source does not send

  • What the pilot costs: seats, review time, and rework

  • How this fails quietly: side use, a paste into the system of record, a prompt that becomes folklore

  • A stop line in one sentence. If review time is not down at day 30, the pilot ends

Hands-on Lab: Draft a pilot card: the bet, the measure, the check, the stop line, and the review date.

Module 4 — Brief the Team and the Sponsor

By the end of this module, you will be able to tell both rooms the same plan.

  • What the team may do, what they say they did, and what stays out

  • The manager reviews. Judgment stays with the manager

  • Ninety days: one workflow and a measure, then a second workflow or a stop

  • The sponsor page and the team page say the same thing

Hands-on Lab: Write the 90-day plan and a short sponsor note. A partner checks them against the pilot card.
