The situation
When this engagement is the right one
A board briefing that explains what a large language model is has wasted the room. These sessions do work: the leadership team scores its own readiness, argues about the scores, and leaves with a named owner against the lowest pillar.
You are probably seeing
- The board asks for an AI update and receives a technology explainer.
- Leadership literacy is uneven, so the loudest opinion wins.
- Managers are prompting badly and calling the results proof that AI does not work.
What we do
The work, in the order it happens
- 01Pre-read: the NATIVE framework and three questions each attendee answers in writing.
- 02Live scoring of the four readiness pillars, with dissent surfaced rather than averaged.
- 03Decision-rights exercise on one real workflow the room recognises.
- 04The RAO prompt standard, taught as an operating discipline for the workforce.
- 05Close with a written commitment: one owner, one pillar, sixty days.
What you get, and keep
- A scored readiness snapshot from the room.
- A written sixty-day commitment with names against it.
- The RAO standard as a one-page workforce artefact.
- A short post-session memo, not a slide pack.
Prerequisites
- The people who own the pillars attend in person. Delegation defeats the exercise.
Not included
- This is not a keynote. If you need a keynote, say so and we will scope one separately.
