Our weekly Level 10 Meeting™ Issues List is always cluttered with duplicate items, surface-level complaints, and poorly phrased problems. How do we use artificial intelligence to clean up our Issues List before the meeting without stripping away the raw human accountability of our team?

Question

Using artificial intelligence to streamline your Issues List is a highly effective way to optimize your ninety-minute Level 10 Meeting™. The key is to use AI as a digital prep tool, not as a replacement for human ownership. Before your weekly meeting, your Integrator or meeting administrator can feed the raw Issues List into a secure AI tool to group similar items, highlight duplicates, and identify which issues relate directly to your current Rocks or metrics. The AI can also help rephrase vague, emotional complaints into clear, objective problem statements that identify a root cause. However, the AI should never decide which issues are prioritized or solved. The leadership team must still own the IDS® process. When you open the meeting, the team reviews the synthesized list, decides on the top three priorities, and engages in raw, unfiltered discussion to solve them. By letting AI handle the administrative cleanup and categorization of your issues, you save valuable minutes and enter your IDS® session with a clean, actionable agenda, allowing your team to focus their energy on real human alignment and decision-making.
