Agility coaching redefined — meet my continuous improvement GPT

I’m taking my coaching into the world of AI.

Introducing: The Coach Lankford Continuous Improvement GPT

Hello agile practitioners and continuous improvement enthusiasts! We can all no longer avoid the AI frontier, so I’m unveiling my first experiment into the realm of AI assisted business agility coaching — the Coach Lankford Continuous Improvement GPT. This tool is a culmination of my experiences and insights in the domain of continuous improvement, packaged into an accessible, digital, smart assistant.

Why create a GPT to pair with my agile coaching?

In my career as a consultant and then a business agility coach, I’ve consistently aimed to democratize knowledge in agile and lean thinking and continuous improvement techniques. My writings, available on platforms like Medium and CoachLankford.com, embody this philosophy. The Coach Lankford Continuous Improvement GPT isn’t just a replication of these methods and words; it’s a strategic move to expand their accessibility and application.

By compiling the core aspects of my approach in a GPT tool, I am enabling organizations and individuals to grasp the essentials of agile and continuous improvement effortlessly. This foundational understanding paves the way for the real challenge — tailoring and evolving these concepts to fit the unique fabric of an organization. Customizing to context is where the human touch of my coaching will have the most impact.

The GPT together with my customized coaching is a great marriage of easy knowledge access and a tailored application of it.

Exploring the Continuous Improvement GPT topics

The Coach Lankford Continuous Improvement GPT spans a diverse range of topics, including:

Agile mindset and organizational change techniques
Overcoming obstacles in agile adoption
Building effective agile teams who are empowered to self-organize around improvement
Continuous improvement practices and strategies
Customizing agile practices to fit different organizational contexts

There are many more, derived from sixty of my continuous improvement blog posts, presentations, and white papers. That’s 100,000 words of curated content around my experiences related to agility and lean change!

Please note: This GPT focuses solely on continuous improvement. If this experiment gets solid interest, I will create other GPTs based on my content for other needs. Some that I have in mind:

How managers can enable effective agile environments
Moving from output to outcomes
Breaking dependencies and silos to gain control
Starting less to finish more
Moving away from deadline-driven behavior
Building safety to enable effective teams to take flight

Engaging with the GPT: Specific prompts

The Continuous Improvement GPT is programmed to handle an array of continuous improvement-related queries. Here are some specific prompts that reflect the content and philosophy of my coaching style in the realm of change:

“How do we foster a culture of safety and transparency in agile teams?”

“How do I use an Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata?”

“How can managers support continuous improvement?”

“How do I balance improvement with delivery?”

And to have some fun, you can ask it for a myth vs. reality quiz based on my coaching philosophy.
