Most teams don't have an AI problem. They have a decision problem. The tools are already on everyone's desk, the conversation has been running for months, but nothing has actually changed.
This board runs a workshop that ends in a decision, a named owner, an agreed rule, and a start date, instead of another list of ideas.
How it works
Five phases, called the Monday Loop: Mind Mapping, Activate Creativity, Kickstart Prototyping, Iterate with Intention, Adopt Systems. Every decision gets tested against five dimensions : Meaning, Actors, Knowledge, Impact, Alignment.
Two rules are built into every phase, because they're what separate a good session from a good conversation: everyone writes alone before anyone speaks, and every phase ends by dropping something.
What's on the board
A start-here frame with timings for three formats: 60 minutes, 2.5 hours, or half a day
A context frame to capture what the team already does with AI before you start
One frame per phase, with silent-write zones, timers, and a convergence step
A decision table for owners, rules and start dates
A 30-day review frame. The part most workshops skip, and the reason most workshops don't stick
A parking lot, and a facilitator panel covering the eight situations that actually derail sessions
Who it's for
Consultants and trainers who need a workshop format they can run tomorrow. Team leads and SME owners who want to stop discussing AI and start deciding about it. No prior AI knowledge is needed from anyone in the room.
