Go Beyond AI Productivity. Learn to Lead and Manage Human–AI Performance.

TL;DR

Take Aways

• Understand the different roles of AI assistants, thinking partners, and autonomous agents.
• Recognize hallucinations, sycophancy, false confidence, and misplaced trust in AI.
• Use independent professional judgment to verify important AI findings and recommendations.
• Assign human and AI responsibilities, decision authority, and approval requirements.

Leave with two practical frameworks—CLEAR for individual AI collaboration and ORCHESTRA for managing combined Human–AI teams.

Why This Matters

Why Human–AI Orchestration Is Critical to Professional Performance

AI is becoming part of professional work teams. Assistants, thinking partners, and agents can research, analyze, recommend, and perform tasks. But their capabilities introduce new risks involving trust, judgment, accountability, and quality.

AI may provide several excellent answers and then produce a confident but incorrect recommendation. Friendly language, agreement, and persuasive explanations can create misplaced trust. Managers also face new decisions about which tasks belong to people, which can be assigned to AI, and when human approval is required.

• Recognize misleading AI responses before they influence important decisions.
• Maintain professional judgment and independent critical thinking.
• Assign the right work to humans, AI systems, or combined teams.
• Set appropriate authority, controls, and human approval points.
• Monitor quality, reliability, errors, and team performance.

Who This Workshop Is For

Designed primarily for professional-services firms and teams that use AI in professional work, decision-making, and business operations. Individual professionals are also welcome.

• Executives and senior leadership teams
• Department managers and project leaders
• HR, organizational development, and change-management professionals
• Consultants, advisors, and knowledge professionals
• Professional staff and support specialists using AI

Who This Workshop Is Not For

This is not an introductory course about AI features or prompt shortcuts. Participants should be willing to examine their own AI experiences, question AI responses, and apply practical methods for maintaining professional judgment and accountability.

What Experience Do You Need?

Basic familiarity with ChatGPT, Claude, or another generative AI chatbot is helpful. No programming experience is required.

What is in the Workshop

This workshop has two sessions of approximately 90 minutes each. The first helps you understand how AI works and how you can reduce errors. The second gives you management frameworks to help you manage the workflow involving both humans and AI and how to maintain independent professional judgment.
