In an evolving digital landscape, the emergence of AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, Notion, and Gemini enables everyone to harness their potential as a personal Chief of Staff, not just CEOs. By transitioning from a mere assistant role, these tools can enhance clarity, prioritization, and reflection. Implementing a structured approach known as C.O.R.E. can maximize effectiveness.
C.O.R.E. consists of four key actions:
- Close the loops: Weekly assessments of meeting notes and emails ensure important tasks aren’t missed.
- Observe the patterns: Reflecting on weekly changes in focus helps track decision-making trends and engagement.
- Refocus priorities: Identifying top priorities based on past activities fosters mindful productivity.
- Expose the gaps: Analyzing strategy docs ensures consistent and clear messaging.
When utilized strategically, AI tools serve as invaluable partners for enhanced efficiency and foresight, transforming how we approach our work.
