Clips from our spring 2025 GenAI workshop for mission-driven teams: what AI is good at, where people lead, and how to experiment with purpose.

A live demo: giving an AI assistant your mission, values and brand, then asking it to research a question, and reading the answer like an intern’s report.

If you have a mission, measure AI by more than efficiency: time on high-impact work, deeper reach with stakeholders, and better work.

Most AI experiments won’t work, and some will feel like getting a calculator. Plus a personal review rule: if it’s your voice, don’t copy and paste.

Like math homework or learning a song, you only learn what AI can do for you by doing it yourself. And it still needs to be your voice.

AI is strong at parts of linguistic, logical and visual intelligence. It has no perspective, no consciousness, and no lived experience.

A big AI announcement every week, then hype, then disillusionment. Why AI’s abilities form a jagged frontier, and why that’s hard to keep track of.

As AI handles more tasks, work shifts from “can you do this step?” to “why are we doing this, and is it right?”
