Translate your assessment results into concrete organizational change.
6.1 From Insight to Action
You've learned about the four AI specificities, the ATIS pillars, cross-cultural dynamics, and the maturity model. Now it's time to put this knowledge to work.
"Ultimately, successful AI management is achieved not by suppressing the technology, but by building a response that is as adaptive and resilient as the technology itself."
β ATIS Research Conclusion
This final module will guide you through creating a customized action plan based on your assessment results. If you haven't taken the assessment yet, complete it now before proceeding.
π Before You Begin

6.2 The Three Strategic Shifts
Based on the analysis of 1,392 analytical units, the research identifies three critical shifts required to move from reactive firefighting to strategic resilience:
π₯ β βοΈ
Shift 1
170.8%
From "Heroic Acting" to Systemic Standardization
π β π
Shift 2
16.7%
From Skilling Void to Continuous Training
π― β π
Shift 3
128.0%
From Reactive Inquiry to Front-loaded Alignment
"For every manual intervention required by a model failure, a corresponding standardization task must be triggered to document the failure mode."
β Shift 1 Recommendation
6.3 Action Planning by Maturity Level
If You're Level 1 (Reactive)
Your Profile: High ACT (>70%), low STANDARDIZE and TRAIN (<30%)
Immediate Priorities:
Institutionalize Quick Fixes: For every firefighting incident, create a standard operating procedure
Document Tribal Knowledge: Capture what your "heroes" know before they burn out
Implement Basic Training: Start with cross-cultural awareness workshops
Create Escalation Protocols: So not every problem requires the same hero
"I thought I was doing them a favor to give them authority... They didn't want that. They wanted me to tell them what to do."
β P15, on the importance of understanding agency needs
If You're Level 2 (Mediated)
Your Profile: High INQUIRE (>70%), STANDARDIZE remains <50%
Immediate Priorities:
Move from Reactive to Proactive Inquiry: Front-load stakeholder alignment during design phase
Develop Standardized Templates: Create communication frameworks for different audiences
Build Documentation Discipline: Make documentation part of "done"
Establish Metrics: Define what success looks like for socio-technical workflows
"One thing I did was writing extensive documentation... close to 1500 or 1800 lines of code collectively... and I wrote close to 50 pages."
β P17
If You're Level 3 (Strategic)
Your Profile: All pillars >70% - "Professional Insulation" achieved
Next-Level Priorities:
Share Your Practices: Publish case studies, establish thought leadership
Mentor Others: Help partners and clients reach Level 3
Continuous Improvement: Regularly audit and update your PSR
"We are aligned on things like data privacy and data security because we understand that this is other people's data."
β P34, on professional insulation
6.4 Pillar-by-Pillar Action Plan
Based on your PSR scores, identify the pillars that need the most attention and use these recommendations:
β‘ If Your ACT Score is Low (<50%)
Hire "cultural bridges" who reflect client diversity
Create safe spaces for non-work communication
Establish clear vision that merges cultural understandings
Develop culturally-aligned feedback channels
Plan structured, balanced team-bonding activities
π If Your TRAIN Score is Low (<50%)
Implement continuous (not one-time) cross-cultural training
Assess and address team "weak areas" proactively
Provide informal briefings for local contexts
Encourage international exposure opportunities
Foster social curiosity about other cultures
"What are the weak areas then? We come in and act as backup to boost them."
β P19
π If Your INQUIRE Score is Low (<50%)
Understand the "dream vs. reality" gap with clients
Conduct one-on-one sessions to capture suppressed feedback
Learn preferred feedback styles of each culture
Inquire before criticizingβunderstand intent first
Front-load inquiry to design phase, not after problems
βοΈ If Your STANDARDIZE Score is Low (<50%)
Document everythingβespecially quick fixes
Adopt frameworks (Agile, CPMAI, ITIL) as common language
Create communication templates for different audiences
Establish clear escalation protocols
Define metrics for both technical and socio-technical progress
"So, I think there are different ways of addressing that problem... One of it is documentation."

6.7 Case Study: Applying ATIS
The Brazilian Ethics Case
"The guys that work with us were not from data science... they do not know why the model was giving them that answer. We need this responsibility of building the model. We need to remove this kind of biases."
β P2, Brazilian Engineer
Challenge: An AI model for salary optimization showed gender bias, always assigning lower salaries to women withεη performance.
ATIS Applied:
INQUIRE: Engineers investigated why bias was occurring
ACT: They fixed the issue regardless of ability to explain to non-technical stakeholders
TRAIN: They viewed ethical responsibility as part of their cultural mindset
Your Turn: Think of a recent challenge in your organization. How would you apply the ATIS pillars?
