Overcoming Shiny Objects & Corporate Ghosts
Your organization has more AI ideas than it knows what to do with.
Every team has a pilot. Every vendor has a pitch. And the list of “what if we used AI for…” keeps growing, while your product teams are already stretched thin.
These ideas aren’t the problem. Without a shared way to decide which ones matter, they become shiny objects: solutions roaming the halls looking for a problem to solve.
And AI amplifies whatever it finds. Pointed at real problems, it speeds up good work. Pointed at everything, it multiplies the noise.
What’s inside:
In Overcoming Shiny Objects & Corporate Ghosts: The Workshop that Started an AI Transformation, Tuckpoint Principal Jesse Rosel and Thrivent Sr. Product Transformation Coach Dean McLaurin walk through how they helped Thrivent’s Business Operations division decide where to start with AI. They narrowed a list of more than 50 AI ideas to five problem spaces, then to two priorities and four use cases ready for discovery, all in a two-day workshop built on product operating model principles.
You’ll walk away knowing:
Why your operating model determines whether AI creates value or chaos
How to use the Desirability, Viability, Feasibility (DVF) framework to score and prioritize AI ideas
The nine steps from pre-work to handoff, including the prep that made the workshop work
How to match your AI ambition to the right time horizon, from near-term efficiency gains to new business models
The lessons they’d apply next time, in their own words

When it comes to Digital Transformation, it's not enough to focus solely on new technologies. To create lasting transformation, it’s essential to address the structural and cultural changes that drive the adoption and impact of new technologies and ways of working, both inside and outside of the organization.
Sound obvious? We think so, but you’d be surprised how often it’s overlooked. And when that happens, Transformation comes to a standstill.
