We want to use AI to increase employee productivity, but we do not know which department to start with. How do we use our Accountability Chart to identify the seats that are most bogged down by low-value tasks?

Your Accountability Chart is the best roadmap for finding your most costly operational bottlenecks. To identify where AI can have the biggest impact, look for the seats that are drowning in repetitive, low value tasks.

Start by conducting an audit of your core processes. Ask every person on your Accountability Chart to list their daily and weekly tasks. Look for the tasks that are highly administrative, such as manual data entry, scheduling, or copying information between systems. These tasks keep your employees from doing the high value strategic work they were hired to do.

Once you identify these tasks, look at the GWC™ for those seats. If a high performing employee is struggling to meet their Rocks because they are overwhelmed by administrative work, that seat is your prime candidate for AI automation.

By deploying an AI tool to run these documented processes, you free up that employee to focus on their core responsibilities. This increases their productivity and improves your margins. It also ensures that your business operations are system-dependent rather than people-dependent. This is how you use your Accountability Chart to drive real operational efficiency.
