Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Update enterprise policies and actions

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather staff reports, pull together current policy language, and summarize the operating evidence behind a proposed change. The agent can draft a revised policy memo and a step-by-step implementation list so you can review tradeoffs and decide whether to approve, revise, or send it back.

Where you stay involved

You read the draft, weigh the business and people impacts, and decide whether the change fits your organization’s goals and board limits. You make the final call on approval and direct any next steps.

Review level: High

2

Improve department results and plans

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to pull department metrics, staff updates, and prior action plans into one place, then draft a recovery plan for missed targets or slow performance. The agent can lay out milestones, owners, and follow-up dates so you can judge whether the plan is realistic and worth approving.

Where you stay involved

You review the analysis, talk through the reasons for the gap with your managers, and decide what actions to approve. You stay responsible for the final direction and for any sensitive people decisions.

Review level: Medium

3

Reset operating roles and check-ins

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to collect updates from department heads, map who owns which function, and draft a coordination plan with check-ins and handoffs between sites or teams. The agent can also list bottlenecks and open items so you can reset responsibilities without losing track of follow-up.

Where you stay involved

You review the proposed ownership changes, settle any overlap between departments, and decide what each manager is accountable for. You handle the hard calls on authority, staffing, and major service impacts.

Review level: Medium
