When complex issues hit our Level 10 Meeting, we waste twenty minutes explaining the background context before we can even begin to solve them. How can we use AI to analyze our operational data and prepare concise issue briefs so our leadership team can run IDS more efficiently?

The biggest time-waster during IDS® is the educational phase. Team members spend valuable minutes catching everyone up on the history of an issue, sharing messy data, and debating subjective interpretations of the problem.

You can eliminate this bottleneck by using AI as an operational colleague to synthesize data before your Level 10 Meeting™ even begins. When an issue is identified, the owner should dump the raw data, relevant emails, or customer feedback into a secure, custom-trained AI tool.

Instruct the AI to generate a concise, one-page issue brief. The prompt should require the AI to outline the core problem, list the key players, present the quantitative data, and offer three potential solutions.

This brief should be attached to the Issues List prior to the meeting. When you reach the IDS® portion of your agenda, the team skips the twenty-minute history lesson because everyone has already read the AI-generated brief. You can immediately move straight to identifying the root cause and deciding on a course of action.

This approach changes your meeting dynamic from a fact-finding mission into a decision-making engine. It keeps your leaders focused on strategic execution while letting AI handle the heavy lifting of data synthesis.
