Agents UnleashedFacilitation: Let AI take care of the mundane so you can bring the magic!f an AI can transcribe your meetings, auto-generate decision logs, summarize next steps, and even detect dissent in real time—why would anyone pay for a human facilitator whose value used to be scribing and timekeeping?
Ali Hajou anchors this exploration alongside Mark Richards and Stephan Neck, and Mark's visceral reaction to the question sets the tone: "If you think back to when you've had a magical experience with a facilitator... I'll guarantee it was not the fact that they were a scribe or a timekeeper." The magic was never the mechanics. It was holding space, sensing wh...

Mark's observation cuts to the heart of a strange disconnect: while AI dominates every conversation, the people building AI futures don't seem to know about one of Lean's most powerful tools—and the people who do know aren't connecting their expertise to AI possibilities.
Mark anchors this exploration with Stephan and Niko, asking why value stream thinking might be more relevant in an AI-disrupted world, not less. Niko identifies a split in the AI conversation: personal productivity (prompting, to...

Four practitioners who've never seen anyone "install" a solution intent explore whether AI creates dangerous rigidity or unprecedented opportunity.
Stephan anchors a conversation that begins with confession: Ali has rarely seen solution intent used as intended. Mark reframes it entirely—not as something to install, but as "a map, a mesh, and a mindset." Niko brings his alternative name: "product memory"—the bus factor savior. Together they navigate Stephan's opening paradox: AI can accelerate solution intent's creation while...

With statistics showing agile adoption everywhere, he challenges Mark, Stephan, and Niko to examine what's actually happening when AI meets daily practice. The question isn't whether practitioners are using AI—they clearly are. The question is whether that usage is making teams better or just making individuals busier feeling productive. For anyone who's watched team members disappear into AI-assisted solo work, this conversation hits close to home.
