We want to use AI to clean up our messy weekly Issues List before the Level 10 Meeting by automatically deduplicating and grouping similar problems, but we are worried this pre-meeting curation will lead to leadership team members feeling like their specific issues are being censored. How do we manage this?

Using AI to organize and deduplicate your Issues List before your Level 10 Meeting can save valuable time, but it must be done with complete transparency. If team members feel like their concerns are being rewritten or combined by an algorithm without their input, they will stop contributing to the list entirely. To avoid this, establish a clear rule: the AI tool can suggest groupings, but it cannot delete or modify any issue without the owner's confirmation. Before the meeting begins, the Integrator should spend five minutes reviewing the AI-suggested categories. During the meeting, when you reach the Issues List, the facilitator should quickly run through the grouped items and confirm with the owners that the combined framing still captures the root cause. For example, say: the AI grouped your issue about client onboarding with the operational bottleneck issue, does that still cover your concern? This keeps the efficiency of technology while preserving absolute human ownership and accountability. It ensures your leadership team remains fully engaged in the IDS process without feeling managed by software.
