How can we use our team members Kolbe scores and conative profiles to determine who should lead our AI implementation projects?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Implementing AI is not just a technical challenge; it is a conative challenge. To ensure your AI initiatives actually succeed instead of stalling out, look at the Kolbe scores of your team members. Do not just hand the project to your IT manager because of their technical title. Instead, look for a champion with a high Quick Start instinct who has the natural drive to experiment, innovate, and challenge the status quo. This person will naturally push the boundaries of what the AI tools can do. However, you must pair them with a high Follow Thru team member. The Follow Thru is the person who will naturally develop the systems, procedures, and checklists to make sure the AI tools are integrated safely and consistently into your daily operations. Without a Follow Thru to build the processes, your Quick Start will create a chaotic mess of uncoordinated tools. Finally, use your Fact Finders to thoroughly research data security and tool capabilities before you sign any contracts. This conative balance ensures you move fast enough to capture market advantage while maintaining the operational discipline required to protect your business valuation.
