What this workshop was about
Two hours for owners and CEOs who want to use Claude themselves, not delegate it, built around three situations every owner knows:
- The CEO's morning: 14 e-mails, 30 minutes. Claude sorts them, flags the phishing mail and writes one page with the day's top three priorities.
- Chief of staff with trust levels: meeting notes become a task list, a weekly status and draft messages. A hook blocks every write outside the output folder; money, people and customer commitments stay with a human.
- The advisory board: three advisors with opposing lenses, finance, customers and people. They ask first, then argue.
What owners took away
On a hiring decision in a fictional company, the advisory board found the real bottleneck: not the open position, but an external supplier booked out for weeks. The value was being made to say out loud what you do not know yet, and who in your company could tell you.
