What you'll learn

Clarity: define what done looks like

Write a brief with the AIM Framework™ that states what you need, why you need it, and the standard the result must meet.

Structure: decide the steps and who takes each one

Break one task into steps: which ones AI runs, which run side by side, and which stay with you.

Judgment: decide whether the work passes

Review the result at each handoff against one clear standard, and fix what fails without starting over.

See The Orchestrator Method™ run start to finish

One business review goes from request to checked result in Claude. The thinking applies to any AI tool your company uses

Why this topic matters

Handing work to AI uses skills leaders already use with people: say what you need, split the work, review what comes back. Wharton's Ethan Mollick calls the skills for working with AI agents "management 101 skills." This session names three mental models for it (Clarity, Structure, Judgment) and runs them live through The Orchestrator Method™ on a real business review.
