How do you decide what to hand to AI? Start by asking which parts only you can do.

My co-host Trisha Merriam's approach, in Part 5 of 5 of our AI Readiness conversation:

"I don't want to do any of it. Which is probably the worst thing that you can do, but that's how I come at it, is what are all the parts that only I can do? And help me understand what those."

My reaction:

"I think that's fair as a place to start, because then you're shifting the frame"

Try her question on one of your processes: which parts are only yours?
