The first decision:
review the work itself.
WORK AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial intelligence can help us work faster. However, it's important to review what we're doing, its purpose, and where it's worthwhile to dedicate people's time.

OUR PERSPECTIVE
Esferical Orbit is a space for thinking about people, work, and organisational transformation. It uses clear questions, recognizable situations, and attention to what happens in practice.
We are interested in connecting ideas with their context: for whom would a change make sense, what it means for people, and what it is important to understand before taking the next step.
Humans First also focuses on sharing knowledge: technology offers possibilities; people give meaning to their use.
TOPICS WE CONNECT
Five ways to start a conversation. Explore the questions we raise and their relationship to what we do at Esferical.
The usefulness of a task, the clarity of a role, and coordination between teams are good starting questions. Understanding the work allows us to review what to keep, what to simplify, and where support is needed.
Skills are put into practice in a specific situation. Examining responsibilities, feedback, and learning opportunities helps to make professional development meaningful.
Culture is also expressed in everyday decisions: what is recognised, how communication takes place, and what happens when something doesn't go as expected. Observing these habits allows for a useful conversation.
The workload, priorities, and relationships are all part of the work experience. Understanding these with individuals helps to identify what needs to be reviewed and where action may be necessary.
Incorporating a tool also raises questions about knowledge, judgement, responsibilities, and learning. Its usefulness depends on how it fits into the work and how it is supported by individuals.
FROM READING TO CONVERSATION
Choose an activity that is repeated and bring together those who perform it and those who use its results. These questions, present in the highlighted reading, can help you get started.
Identify who uses the results and what decision or need it helps to resolve. Also, check what obligations or controls need to be maintained.
Review steps, formats, frequency, and approvals with the relevant people. Choose a limited change that you can verify.
Clarify who interprets, reviews, and makes decisions. Evaluate the entire process, including the work required to correct or verify the results.
