We have a high Fact Finder on our leadership team who is spending dozens of hours researching the perfect AI prompts and comparing alternative models, which is delaying our operational rollout. How do we help them move past research and into execution?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

A high Fact Finder on the Kolbe A Index has an innate conative instinct to gather information, research historical precedents, and specify details before taking action. While this is invaluable for preventing costly mistakes, it can lead to analysis paralysis when dealing with rapidly changing technology like AI.

To break this deadlock, you must leverage team conative synergy. Pair your high Fact Finder with a high Quick Start team member. The Quick Start instinct is to experiment, innovate, and take risks without needing all the answers first. By partnering them on an AI implementation project, the Quick Start will push for immediate testing and trial-and-error, while the Fact Finder will ensure the experiments are grounded in real data and do not violate your security standards.

Additionally, structure the project using the EOS framework:

- Define a specific, measurable quarterly Rock for the AI rollout.
- Break the Rock down into clear milestones with firm deadlines.
- Use your weekly Level 10 Meeting to keep the project on track and address any research delays during the IDS portion of the meeting.

By providing a structured timeline and pairing complementary conative strengths, you allow your Fact Finder to provide critical quality control without stalling your operational progress.
