Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Shifting your team from creative production to editing and validating AI outputs requires a completely different set of instinctive strengths. Many creative professionals who excel at starting from a blank page will feel deeply frustrated when their role changes to reviewing and correcting machine-generated work.

To manage this transition without destroying morale, use the Kolbe Index to assess the conative strengths of your team members. Look closely at their scores in the Fact Finder and Follow Through categories:
- High Fact Finder scores indicate a natural talent for researching, validating, and ensuring absolute detail and precision.
- High Follow Through scores mean they will naturally build and follow a structured process to check every deliverable systematically.
- Those with high Quick Start energy may struggle with the repetitive, meticulous nature of quality control work.

Use these conative insights to reallocate seats on your Accountability Chart. Place your high Fact Finders and high Follow Throughs in charge of the validation and editing workflows.

Allow your high Quick Starts to focus on testing new AI prompts and designing new automated workflows. This strategic placement ensures that your team is energized by their daily work and that your automated processes remain highly accurate.
