Document & knowledge work
Bring a public document or an approved example. Practice turning it into a summary, a first draft or a set of questions. Check the source material against the result.
PHILADELPHIA SUPERINTELLIGENCE / TEAM FIELD GUIDE
Bring Si into the work your team already does.
I help Philadelphia teams understand superintelligence and put it to practical use. Start with a familiar task, give people time to try it, and agree on what a useful result would look like.

01 / START WITH THE TEAM
A workshop needs something to work on.
I start with what people actually do. Choose an example that lets your team see the input, try a different approach and judge the output together.
Customer & client follow-up
Map how an inquiry becomes a response and a next step. Identify where a person needs to make a decision, confirm an answer or approve an action.
Operational handoffs
Look at a repeated transfer between people or systems. Name the information that must arrive, the owner of the next step and what happens when something is missing.
Give people a shared way to evaluate the work.
A useful session makes the review visible. Ask what the tool handled well, where the output needed correction and whether the approach fits the task.
For a mixed group, I can use one example with different roles: someone provides context, someone operates the tool and someone checks the result. The team can then discuss where that process belongs in its own work.
02 / YOUR WORKING SHEET
Team workshop brief.
Build a starting brief for a team session. Choose the audience and a practical focus, then see what to prepare before the workshop.
This worksheet runs in your browser. It does not send your entries or write them to browser storage.
EXAMPLE BRIEF / READY TO CUSTOMIZE
Your workshop brief
Start with one approved document task and a team that understands it.
- Explain the task, the source material and what a good result includes.
- Try a draft together, then check it against the original.
- Agree on what to practice again and who will follow up.
Preparation: confirm approved examples, tool access and an owner before scheduling hands-on work.
The worksheet is a starting point for your own planning. It does not book a session, recommend a specific product or submit an inquiry.
03 / MAKE THE NEXT STEP USEFUL
A learning plan can reduce the cost of waiting.
Waiting leaves the existing work in place. Repeated document preparation, manual follow-up and avoidable handoffs continue to use the team's time. The useful question is which of those tasks is worth examining first.
A bounded workshop gives people a shared example and a way to compare approaches. It can also show that a proposed use needs better information, more review or a different tool. That is useful evidence before a larger commitment.

YOUR GUIDE / PHILADELPHIA, PA
I am James Perkins.
I am a futurist, speaker, strategist and expert implementor of automation strategy. I use Si every day and help people understand the technology and apply it in their own work.
I founded What About Ai? and Automation Transformation Consulting. My work connects personal learning, career research, business decisions and practical implementation.
Read my background / Start a conversationA FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Before your next step.
How should we choose a first workshop topic?
Choose a recurring task your team understands, with examples you are allowed to use. A document draft, research summary or follow-up process gives people a concrete way to practice and review the result.
Do all participants need the same experience with Si?
No. A useful brief identifies what people already know, which tools they can access and what they need to do next. I can shape the session around that starting point.
Can a workshop lead to implementation?
Yes, when the team identifies a useful workflow and an owner. Implementation needs a separate scope, approved information, review responsibilities and criteria for deciding whether the workflow is ready.
