The Aug 3 kickoff.

Here are the three things I'd like to leave the kickoff chat with: agreement on the top priority workflows to automate, the two or three workflows we'll start on, and a clear next step for each person.

Monday Aug 3, 10:30 Pacific. Avery, Stephanie, Kristin and Shabnam.

THE SHAPE

How we'll spend the hour.

The useful material is what you're each stuck on, so we'll focus the session on the three questions from the pre-read rather than me presenting - this hub has most of what I'll be doing with Mulago, laid out.

10 MIN

Where we're starting

A short review of the pre-read, and any pieces that did not resonate or align, or if anything feels like it's changed substantially since then.

25 MIN

The three questions

We'll talk through: What you'd like to never do by hand again, what's already gone wrong in using AI, and where you'd rather have a rule than judgement.

15 MIN

The five open decisions

A first look at the questions that were raised in Jan, a review of what's still open, and which of them we should try to close first.

10 MIN

Next steps

Who I come to next, what access I need, and when we'll meet again.

WHAT WE SHOULD LEAVE WITH

Three outcomes.

01

Agreement on where the friction is

This is the two or three places that cost the team the most time right now.

02

A first candidate workflow

This is ideally something concrete enough to start on in August.

03

A cadence

How often we'll meet, who's in the room, and what we bring each time.

Notes and decisions from the session land on the kickoff notes page afterwards.
