PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

A handout. A workbook. Your next step.

Business leaders choosing where AI can help their organization.

Evaluate AI through a specific piece of work, the people responsible for it, and the conditions required for a useful result. A small, measurable trial can reveal problems that a broad promise of transformation conceals.

Inside the resources

  • Name the operational problem before selecting a tool. Describe the current task, its inputs, its output, and the person who uses that output.
  • Check whether the information needed for the task is available, current, and permitted for use. A missing or unreliable input can undermine the trial.
  • Define human responsibility for review, decisions, and exceptions. Make clear what the AI output is allowed to influence.

Workbook exercises

  • Map the work before the tool
  • Check readiness
  • Design a comparison
