Team Knocking at the Door

When the energy is there, but doesn’t find enough room

Signs to watch for

  • Some people are already experimenting with AI on their own.
  • Ideas and proposals emerge from below.
  • Decisions about AI, however, are made elsewhere.
  • People gradually stop making proposals if they get no response.

This is the profile with a strong sense of agency but a low sense of being asked: the motivation is already there, and the risk is losing it for lack of listening and involvement.

The biggest challenge to face

Turning spontaneous initiative into real participation before the energy becomes disengagement.

Where to focus right away

Listen to what is already happening. Recognise the experiments, ideas and skills that have come about spontaneously.

Create real spaces for participation. Involve the team in gathering information, designing and checking.

Always give feedback. Even a simple ‘not yet, but…’ keeps alive the sense that making proposals has value.

A question to bring to the team

What are we already doing or imagining with AI that doesn’t find enough room today?

This is not a diagnosis. It is one possible lens through which to look at your team. A team may recognise itself in more than one profile.
