Introduction (Human Factors in AI Adoption)

  • Why AI adoption fails in real teams: human factors outweigh tool limitations.
  • Trust calibration: navigating under-reliance versus over-reliance (automation bias).
  • Accountability: "AI can assist, but humans remain responsible."

1. Calibrated Reliance (Safe Use in Daily Work)

  • Use-case boundaries: identifying appropriate and inappropriate AI applications.
  • Stop rules: knowing when to pause, verify, or escalate.
  • Common failure patterns and early warning signs.

2. Verification Standards (Quality Without Slowdowns)

  • Practical verification levels (light, standard, strict).
  • Red flags: hallucinations, outdated facts, missing sources, sensitive content.
  • "Second source" verification and traceability basics (what to log).

3. Accountability and Decision Hygiene

  • Ownership: clarifying who validates, who decides, and who signs off.
  • Escalation triggers and decision thresholds.
  • Decision log: minimum evidence and documentation requirements.

4. Team Agreements Workshop (Core Deliverable)

  • Working agreement structure: trigger, action, evidence, owner, consequence.
  • Examples for common workflows (emails, analysis, customer communications, internal documents).
  • Aligning agreements with company policy and confidentiality rules.

5. Trust and Psychological Safety

  • Addressing typical fears: replacement, loss of competence, loss of status.
  • Manager scripts: discussing AI without hype or panic.
  • Conflict patterns: navigating "pro-AI" versus "anti-AI" dynamics and de-polarizing.

6. Light Incident Response (AI Mistakes and Near-Misses)

  • Classifying incidents by impact level: low, medium, high.
  • Containment and communication strategies (internal and with customers when necessary).
  • Learning loop: updating agreements, templates, and rituals based on incidents.

7. 30-Day Adoption Plan

  • Team rituals: weekly check-ins, prompt reviews, incident reviews, and decision reviews.
  • Key metrics: adoption quality, rework rates, escalations, and trust indicators.
  • Next steps and follow-up plans.
