Paul Cheek's Talent and Priorities workbook, run in its exact language. There are a dozen things that matter in the transition to AI and the budget for maybe three, so Part I force-ranks the twelve strategic priorities 1 to 12, no ties, each rank defended against your mission and values, with the top three detailed down to metric, target, and budget. Part II builds the talent plan: per-person upskilling for your team and programs for all four organization tiers, rolled into a total investment number you can defend to the CFO. Part III makes you take a position on the eight classic tensions, and Part IV turns it all into a 12-month quarterly roadmap with accountability and 30-day quick wins. The skill researches your company first and offers grounded predictions and suggestions throughout, because this is strategic guidance, not a test. Your rankings always win.
