AI Problem-Solving
Sprint

From messy issue to clear decision brief.

A hands-on one-day sprint that helps participants use AI to structure workplace problems, generate options, test risks, and create a clear recommendation — on a real issue, in one day.

The Problem

You have the problem.
You need to move faster.

Managers in this sprint know what the problem is. They have data, complaints, performance gaps, or operational failures. What they need is a faster, more rigorous way to move from that information to a structured recommendation that holds up under scrutiny.

The AI Problem-Solving Sprint adds AI as an active thinking partner throughout — helping participants structure faster, stress-test their own solutions, and critically evaluate what AI proposes before accepting it. Because AI gets things wrong. Knowing when and how to challenge the output is the skill.

"I have the data. I know something is wrong. I need to move from analysis to a clear recommendation — and I need to know whether to trust what AI is telling me."

Programme Outcome

What changes after this programme

Participants leave with a clear, structured decision brief built on a real workplace problem — plus a personal AI-assisted problem-solving workflow they can reuse every time they face a complex decision. The output is immediate and practical.

What this sprint is not: This is not the full 2-day Critical Thinking & Problem Solving programme. It does not build the complete thinking methodology. It gives participants a fast AI-assisted workflow to structure problems and produce decision briefs. For deeper capability, see the 2-day programme.

What Participants Build

5 Measurable Competencies

01
Frame the Issue
Use AI to turn a messy workplace situation into a clear problem statement and decision question.
02
Analyse the Situation
Use AI to sort facts, assumptions, possible causes, and missing information — keeping human judgement in charge.
03
Test the Options
Use AI to generate solution options and pressure-test risks before committing to a recommendation.
04
Build the Brief
Use AI to create a structured, stakeholder-ready decision brief with spoken and written versions.
05
AI Output Evaluation
Critically assess what AI produces — identify when it is wrong, vague, or missing context, and correct it.

Important

A note on scoping

This sprint works best when participants have a real, live problem to bring. The entire day is structured around solving it — not a hypothetical.

This sprint works best for managers and team leads who deal with recurring problems or decisions that require structured thinking. Participants should come with a real, current problem they are actively trying to solve.
