Awareness

Telling Value and ROI Story

Use this resource when a workflow has credible traction but needs clearer reinforcement. It helps AI Champion Leaders and Activators turn workflow evidence and impact signals into practical talk tracks for Executive Sponsors, manager enablement, and manager-to-team conversations.

Write a Leadership Reinforcement Talk Track

This matrix helps Champions evaluate workflow ideas based on two variables: impact/value and complexity/effort. It is designed to make use case discovery more practical by helping you sort ideas into quick wins, strategic initiatives, nice-to-haves, and thankless tasks. Use it to focus your time on workflows that are both meaningful and realistically adoptable.

Prioritize Potential AI Workflows

Use this resource when a team has identified a real workflow it wants to improve with AI but needs structured guidance on what to test.


The Pathfinder helps Champions define the workflow, identify the best-fit AI pattern, determine which capabilities and systems matter, clarify what should remain human-led, and recommend the smallest useful next step.

Scope, Test, and Rollout AI Workflows

Use this playbook to plan and run an internal AI Hackathon with your team. A Hackathon gives people dedicated time to explore real work challenges, build practical prototypes, and learn from one another. This guide covers how to define the objective, organize the event, support participants, structure the agenda, and follow up so the strongest ideas do not disappear after the demos.

Run an AI Hackathon

A showcase helps teams learn from trusted peers, understand where AI is creating value, and discover workflows they may be able to adapt. This guide covers how to select examples, prepare presenters, run a focused session, and help the audience take the next step.

Run a Use Case Showcase

This guide helps Leaders build and strengthen a network of Local Activators: Champions embedded in teams, functions, business units, or regions who help colleagues adopt validated AI workflows and share what works.

The goal is not simply to create an active network. It is to help validated workflows spread more quickly, make local support easier to access, surface blockers earlier, and reduce dependence on one central Leader to drive adoption.

Build and Grow a Network of Local Activators

This guide breaks down what it means to be an AI Champion, why the role exists, what great champions do, and how they influence adoption, workflows, and team norms. You’ll learn where to find more ideas to remove friction and help your team get more from AI.

The AI Champion Role

This guide helps Activators run a focused prompt challenge that gives people a practical reason to try ChatGPT and surfaces examples the broader team can test and reuse.

You’ll learn how to choose a relevant challenge, make participation easy, curate the strongest submissions, and build on the results so the challenge creates more than short-term activity. Leaders can support the challenge by connecting it to a business priority, creating space to participate, and reinforcing when the strongest examples should be reused.

Run a Prompt Challenge

This guide helps Champions move from creating AI tools and testing workflows to proving their value.

By identifying, documenting, and sharing validated use cases, Champions can show where AI is making work faster, clearer, more consistent, or easier to complete. Over time, these examples build credibility, encourage adoption, and make successful workflows easier for other teams to understand and repeat.
