Where to start: Assessing your team
Every organization approaches AI differently. To help you prioritize, this report introduces seven different team archetypes derived from cluster analysis. These profiles range from “harmonious overachievers” who excel in both performance and health, to teams facing “fundamental challenges” or stuck in “traditional bottlenecks” where unstable systems undermine morale.
Identifying the profile that best fits your team will help you pinpoint the most impactful interventions. For example, a “high influence, low cadence” team may prioritize automation to improve stability, while a “process-constrained” team may focus on reducing friction by improving the AI stance.
Dig deeper into value stream mapping
Once you understand your team's profile, how do you direct your efforts? This report includes a step-by-step facilitation guide for running a value stream mapping (VSM) exercise.
VSM acts as an AI force multiplier. By visualizing the flow from idea to customer, you can identify where work is waiting and where friction exists. This ensures that efficiency gains from AI are reflected in solving system-level constraints, rather than just creating local optimizations that build up downstream work.

Adopting AI is an organizational transformation. The greatest benefits come not from the tools themselves, but from investments in the underlying systems that enable them.
