Common Leadership Questions
Leadership reviewing the
Concierge Instruction Set™ often ask the following questions.
Where should a firm begin?
Most firms begin with Volume I Observation (Pattern & Prep™ Baseline).
This review documents how recurring work is currently prepared, reviewed, and approved inside the department.
Once that structure is visible, leadership can decide how technology should support it.
Why not start with AI Training
AI training often focuses on how to operate the tool.
But before technology can assist professional work, leadership must define how the work itself is reviewed and approved.
The Concierge Instruction Set™ documents that structure first.
Does this replace existing workflows?
No.
The Concierge Instruction Set™ documents and clarifies how work is already reviewed.
Technology decisions remain with the firm.
Who is this designed for?
Professional services firms with 30–100 staff where leadership must ensure recurring work is reviewed consistently before delivery to clients, boards, or regulators.
What does Volume I produce?
Volume I produces a written baseline review of how recurring department work is currently reviewed.
Leadership receives documentation describing:
• how work moves today
• where interpretation may vary
• where review authority exists or is assumed
This becomes the reference point for future decisions.
What does Volume II produce?
Volume II records the review and escalation structure leadership chooses to formalize.
It clarifies:
• who reviews recurring work
• where escalation occurs
• what requires leadership approval
This structure governs how work leaves the department.
What does Volume III produce?
Volume III records how generative AI may assist clearly defined tasks.
The instruction set aligns AI drafting support with the review structure documented in Volumes I and II.
AI assists preparation, leadership retains final judgment.
How are the Volume III instructions determined?
Volume III develops written AI instructions aligned to the type of work the department performs.
Most professional work falls into three areas:
• analysis — reviewing reports, reconciling numbers, investigating issues
• communication — preparing briefings, presentations, and updates
• leadership decisions — preparing materials used in strategy discussions and executive reviews
Firms select the instruction tier that matches the work where generative AI will assist.
Each tier expands the scope of written AI instructions while the firm’s review and approval structure remains unchanged.
Do firms receive all instruction tiers?
No.
Volume III instruction packages are prepared based on the work where generative AI will be used.
Some firms begin with analytical work only.
Others extend instructions to communication or leadership preparation.Instruction scope is confirmed before Volume III preparation begins.
How is this different from AI consulting?
Most AI consulting focuses on tools, prompts, or workflow automation.
Concierge Instruction Set™ focuses on governance and decision structure.
Before generative AI expands work, leadership must define:
• who reviews work
• where approvals occur
• where decisions escalate
• what remains human judgment
The instruction set documents that structure so AI-assisted work follows the firm’s defined review pathways.
Technology follows written instruction.
