03 writeup

Hey, I'm trying to write a post on my experience with Every Consulting. The consulting so far, I just joined as the head of tech consulting. I didn't tell you who runs consulting. I'm going to provide a transcript of me talking about my experience. I was also going to provide a tweet, which is just a list of the learnings that I've had so far for companies that were struggling to adopt AI. It was in response to Sam Par, who was asking, "How is everyone getting team adoption for Claude? How do you get your team to actually use it effectively without spending all their time on Twitter and learning?"

I need to write this in my writing style. I've included some writing of my own as a sample. I also have included a post on consulting at Every, so from in Natalia, you get a sense of what consulting looks like at Every. But yeah, focus mostly on the specifics of the interview that I provided with the context of that tweet.

Learnings:

• buy the model direct not 3rd party tools
• raise the ceiling not the floor
• workshops with 50%+ build time
• assign impossible tasks
• mandatory AI note taking + MCP connector
• map workflows and systematically automate
• train people to be managers (of agents)

How is everyone getting team adoption for Claude?

I spent a lot of time on Twitter, as do you. We see all this AI stuff popping up. We're on top of it, or at least sorta. I know what's going on and are testing all these fringe ideas.

But how are all you people getting your team to actually use it effectively without spending all their time on Twitter and learning, which we know they won't and probably shouldn't be?
