| Opportunity | AI-assisted drafting of customer replies. |
| Missing evidence | Current handling time, error rate and data basis. |
| Question for management | How will we measure impact without weakening quality? |
| Proposed owner | Customer service director with input from IT. |
| Next decision | Assess a bounded pilot proposal when evidence is available. |
Questions the board should ask
- What do we already know?
- What evidence is missing?
- Who will obtain it?
- When can the board make a decision?
Your effort
