We want to use AI to analyze our weekly Level 10 Meeting issues list and automatically suggest solutions or draft the weekly to-dos before we start. How do we do this without short-circuiting the human connection of IDS?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Using AI to pre-analyze issues and draft weekly To-Dos before your meeting starts is a dangerous trap. While automation is highly effective for operations, attempting to automate the IDS process short-circuits the vital human dynamics required for healthy leadership. The purpose of IDS is not just to generate a list of tasks. The purpose is to build alignment, foster healthy conflict, and ensure every leader is on the same page. When you let an AI engine draft solutions, you miss the crucial step of healthy debate where team members voice their concerns and commit to the outcome. Instead of using AI to solve the issues, use it to prepare the context. You can use AI tools to summarize customer feedback, organize scorecard data, or compile background information relevant to an issue. This ensures your team has accurate, organized data when they begin the meeting. Once the meeting starts, put the technology aside. The actual identification, discussion, and resolution of issues must be done live and in-person or on video by the human beings on your team. True accountability cannot be outsourced to an algorithm.
