AI principles for your team How should our team approach AI in our work?

Every team is being asked how it will use AI, and the right answer for a design team looks different from the right answer for finance or research. We work with your team to agree on where AI fits in your work, where it doesn’t, and what has to stay true of the work however it’s made.

The problem

Your team is using AI, but not with any shared approach.

  • Everyone uses different tools in different ways, or not at all
  • Your leadership asked for the team’s AI plan, and there isn’t one yet
  • Worries that AI will weaken the team’s craft
  • No agreement on what’s acceptable to hand to AI

Our point of view

A team’s approach to AI should fit its own work, and the team should decide it together. Rules handed down from outside rarely stick. When a team decides together where AI helps, where it doesn’t, and what good work still requires, people follow the principles because they’re theirs.

What it is
A working session with a team and its leader to agree on how the team uses AI
What it isn’t
Tool training, a company-wide AI policy, or a code of conduct written for you

How it works

Before
We learn what your team does, how it uses AI today, and what it’s being asked to deliver.
In the workshop
Your team decides where AI fits in its work, where it doesn’t, and what has to stay true.
After
Within 3 days, the team’s AI principles written up for the team to share and use

What you leave with

Team AI principles
Where your team uses AI, where it doesn’t, and why
AI use map
Your team’s main work, with where AI helps marked for each part
Standards
What has to stay true of your team’s work, however it’s made
Next steps
The skills to build, the tools to set up, and what to start first

When to run it

  • Your team has been asked for its AI plan
  • People on your team use AI in very different ways
  • Your team worries about what AI means for its craft
  • Your company rolled out AI, and your team hasn’t decided how it fits
  • You’re a new leader setting direction for your team

Where it leads

Setting up Claude Code for your team (beginner), to put the principles into practice, or Defining and teaching quality, to turn the standards into a shared bar
