Produce a workflow definition ready for AI design
Walk away with a structured definition that maps directly to AI building blocks
Why this topic matters
Most AI initiatives stall not because the technology fails, but because the process wasn't broken down enough. Hidden decisions, data dependencies, and failure modes surface only after you've built the wrong thing. In 30 minutes, learn the 5-question framework that exposes what's buried in any process — and see how the same methodology adapts when your starting point is an outcome, not steps.
