The one-person-knows-how-to-do-it problem
A senior account manager had quietly built a solid process for turning a client brief into a scoped proposal, pasting the brief into ChatGPT with a prompt only she'd bothered to refine. Everyone else started from a blank Google Doc every time, and proposal quality visibly dipped whenever she was on holiday. Nobody had written any of it down, it lived entirely in her chat history.
- Find It: the bottleneck wasn't ‘we need more AI’, it was that one working method never left one person's head
- Build It: her prompt and process got turned into a shared template and a short internal SOP the rest of the team could actually follow
- Own It: proposal turnaround stopped depending on one person's calendar, and the team could keep refining the template themselves
