What an agent could do
Find out why a student cannot register for a required course and propose a workable enrollment path.
The decision underneath
May it release a reserved seat or approve a prerequisite exception?

Where most ideas start
"Use AI to improve the student experience."
✕ Too vague
Make it specific
02
A workable use case
We want an agent to identify why a student cannot register for a required course, check prerequisites, available seats, and timetable conflicts, and propose a workable enrollment path.
Measure it
03
How you'll know it works
If the agent really helps, these numbers should change. Measure them before it goes live, then again after:
Time to resolve registration issues; delayed enrollments; unused seats in required courses.
Then decide
04
The decision to make first
May it release a reserved seat or approve a prerequisite exception? Who sets priority when students compete for the last place?
Settle this before the agent goes live, not after.
Your turn
05
Pick a business problem in your organization that is expensive, slow, risky or frustrating. Then work through these four questions, as in the workshop:
1
What business problem are we solving?
2
Who would sponsor this, and why?
3
What measurable business result should change?
4
What would make this difficult to scale here?
Quick test: task or decision?
Is this only a task you want AI to perform, or a business decision you want an agent to help make or execute?
