Practicum for Volume 2, Chapter 1, "AI is reconstruction, not a plugin"

The chapter asks one question: did you bolt AI onto an old process, or are you changing the process itself? This page contains the work you complete by hand for one process.

What to do in 45 minutes

  1. Choose one real process: a contract, application, support request, report, lead-generation flow, or hiring process.
  2. Complete the process maturity check: 6 signs + a level from 0 to 5 → diagnosis → one move.
  3. If you lead or founded the business, put it through Rebuild the company from zero.

Who this is for

  • Specialist / process owner: diagnose one process and choose the next move.
  • Manager: see which roles and metrics change in practice.
  • Founder: find where the business depends on old intermediation and where it needs a redesign.
