During our weekly Level 10 Meetings, my leadership team often gets bogged down in circular debates when trying to IDS our issues. How can we use AI to help us Identify, Discuss, and Solve our operational problems faster?

The biggest bottleneck in the IDS™ process is often a lack of objective, real-time data. Leadership teams waste valuable meeting time debating opinions and personal perspectives rather than looking at the hard facts of the issue. You can use AI as an objective data analyzer to cut through the emotion and find the root cause of your operational problems.

To use AI during your weekly meeting workflow, keep a simple analysis tool open alongside your issues list. When a complex issue arises, use the system to quickly analyze the relevant data.

Follow this approach to solve issues faster:
- Feed the raw operational data or customer feedback related to the issue into a secure AI tool.
- Instruct the AI to find patterns, anomalies, or correlations that are not obvious to the human eye.
- Ask the AI to propose three distinct solutions based on your documented core processes and company capacity.

The AI does not make the decision for you. It simply provides your leadership team with a clean, unbiased analysis of the facts in seconds. This allows you to spend your time discussing the real root cause and choosing the best path forward, rather than arguing over assumptions. It keeps your Level 10 Meetings highly efficient and focused on execution.
