Your Team Isn’t Afraid of AI: They are Unconvinced

Shift 3 habits & open the floodgates

Welcome to The Logical Box!

Your guide to making AI work for you.

Hey,

Andrew here from The Logical Box, where I break down AI so it’s easy to understand and even easier to use.

Below is your hands-on mini-session. Set a timer for 30 minutes and walk through each move. By the end you will have one clear use case, a week of micro-training, and a purpose line the whole team can quote.

Mini Learning Session

Spark Adoption in 3 Moves

Move

Time

Outcome

1. Map Pain to Tool

10 min

One test case your team cares about

2. Build 5 Minute Sprints

10 min

A week long micro-training plan

3. Anchor the “Why”

10 min

A two-line purpose statement everyone repeats

(Thirty minutes total. No slide deck needed.)

Move 1: Map Pain to Tool (10 min)

1-A. Run a Quick Pain Audit (4 min)

Create a blank table like this:

Task (what you do)

Pain Signal (why it hurts)

Weekly Minutes (rough guess)

Ask your team:

  • Where do you copy-paste the same text or data?

  • Which task stalls projects when one person is out?

  • What do you save for late Friday because it drags?

Fill 5 rows fast, then circle the row with the biggest time cost.

Example filled out

Task

Pain Signal

Weekly Minutes

Re-typing client meeting notes into CRM

Double entry, copy-paste errors

90

Gathering status updates from five teammates

Waiting on replies delays report

60

Formatting invoices into Excel

Mind-numbing manual work

45

1-B. Match a Tool (3 min)

Use this cheat sheet:

Common Pain

Fast AI Fix

Meeting notes

Otter.ai, Fathom, Grain AI

First-draft emails

Superhuman AI, Copilot in Outlook

Invoice entry

Rossum, Vic.ai

Social captions

Perplexity Pages, Jasper

FAQ replies

Intercom Fin, Zendesk AI

Pick one tool. Must-haves:

  • Live demo in under 60 seconds

  • No IT hurdle, cloud login, no install

  • Free tier so the team tests today

1-C. Set Up a Live Test (3 min)

  1. Baseline - time the task once, old way.

  2. Run tool - record the first attempt.

  3. Compare - note minutes saved and quality hits/misses.

  4. Screenshot - capture before/after for Monday’s stand-up.

You now have a concrete tool pair plus first data to share.

Move 2: Build Five-Minute Sprints (10 min)

Micro-training beats marathon lectures. Each sprint teaches one action, proves value, and ends with a share.

2-A. Draft the Plan (4 min)

Fri

Share 60-sec Loom

Knowledge spreads

2-B. Assign Roles (2 min)

  • Sprint Captain - runs the demo that day.

  • Spotter - notes hiccups for next sprint.
    Rotate roles to build ownership.

2-C. Capture Proof (4 min)

  • Use screen recording or quick GIF tools (Loom, Snagit).

  • Post clips in a shared “AI Wins” channel.

  • Tag the metric the sprint moves (see Move 3).

Small public wins build momentum better than any slide deck.

Move 3: Anchor the “Why” (10 min)

Without purpose, tools fade after week two. Tie each rollout to a live metric the team already tracks.

3-A. Pick the Metric (2 min)

  • Reply time

  • Turnaround days

  • Error count

  • Cost per transaction

3-B. Write the Gap (2 min)

“Reply time averages 42 hours; customers churn.”

3-C. Craft the Purpose Line (4 min)

“We will use [tool] to reduce [metric] from [current] to [target] by [date].”

Example
“We will use Otter.ai to cut meeting-note turnaround from 2 days to 2 hours by Sept 30.”

3-D. Post and Track (2 min)

  • Pin the sentence in chat, dashboard, or ops board.

  • Review progress every Thursday stand-up.

  • Adjust either the workflow or the target - never let both drift.

Purpose + scoreboard creates sustained habit.

30-Minute Challenge

  1. Audit five pains, match one tool.

  2. Plan five sprints and assign roles.

  3. Write the purpose line and post it.

Email me your purpose line, and I will reply with a prompt tweak or tool tip you can use in sprint one.

Ready to take the next step?

I work alongside businesses to develop AI skills and systems that stay with you. Rather than just building prompts, I help your team become confident AI users who can solve real problems and no more starting from zero each time.
