01 Turn competing priorities into shared criteria
“even more important is translating those discussions into action” (opens the source)
State the group’s brief before ranking options. The same criteria must apply to every proposal.
Group interview prep when AI can draft the answer
Make a useful contribution, check the evidence and help the group decide.
Start a practice interviewWhat companies say they’re looking for
02 Make room for information the group has missed
“Engage with colleagues there on the day” (opens the source)
Invite the relevant contribution without taking over or guessing why someone has spoken less. Use what you learn.
03 Check a polished summary before using it
“If you can’t explain your output without re-reading it, you didn’t write it.” (opens the source)
Rathbone offers a rule of thumb for owning AI-written work. In practice, trace the counts and denominator before the group uses a claim.
04 Help the group finish a bounded decision
Keep enough time for a material concern and a clear recommendation. A deadline does not remove the brief’s limits.
05 Revise the shared choice when the facts change
Explain the new evidence, credit the check and update the recommendation. Defending the first answer is not the group’s objective.
