Minutes What happens

10

Open with the six-migration-plan scenario from “AI Makes Drafts Cheap, So Finishing Is the Constraint,” or your closest equivalent.

15

Present the AI Maturity Ladder, then have each director place the organization on it privately, before hearing anyone else. The spread of the answers is the finding.

20

Walk the Completion Loop map: every stage, its owner, today’s constraint.

25

Open the floor to the board’s own questions, unscripted.

20

Agree on the one or two metrics the board sees at every future meeting, and name who reports them.

The board guide has the questions directors should ask you, and the signals that show whether the conversation worked.
