From AI literacy to AI in the work.
The VERIFY method makes AI part of the work, one team and one workflow at a time. You start with a scan that shows where you stand. Then comes an engagement that keeps standing after we leave.
A course gives people knowledge. The work only changes when the organisation moves with it.
By now most people have had some AI training. Yet hardly any organisation sees it in its results. The time people save disappears into more email and more meetings, because nobody decides where that time should go.
of AI high performers have fundamentally redesigned their workflows, against a quarter of everyone else.
of regular users who save time get no direction on what to do with it.
of workers say AI made their workload bigger, not smaller.
The median AI user in the euro area saves about three hours a week. It only counts as productivity if those hours turn into output.
Six moves and the layer underneath.
Every move produces something you can show: a scan, a page, a pilot, a date in a calendar.
Verify the value
One workflow, one step, where AI multiplies a person.
Establish the standard
Three tiers on one page, and a level for every step an AI agent takes.
Redesign the work
Fewer steps, one redrawn role, and the work people value stays.
Invest in coaching
Coaches with hours in the calendar, and the check written down.
Front it from leadership
Visible AI use at the top and in the middle of the organisation.
Yield lasting capability
Six months, three measures and one check on judgement.
The layer between the sessions
Six touchpoints in six weeks, with the manager in the loop. This is where what started in the room sticks, or fades.
Measure first, start small, then widen.
Each phase has its own result and a fixed price. You can stop after any phase. Ownership sits with you from day one.

Three measures, a check on judgement and the layer between sessions, until it runs by itself.
For organisations that work for and with residents, clients and patients.
In public services
The council paper that passes five pairs of eyes. The information request that takes weeks. The application a resident calls about three times. That is where you start.
In health and social care
The report that takes hours after every conversation. The account to the funder. The letter that has to be plain and still correct. AI helps, once the check is in place.
In advocacy and non-profits
A small team, many volunteers, and people with lived experience at the table. You do not automate that conversation. You can automate the work around it.
A serious baseline, not a quiz.
The scan scores each move from 0 to 100, with four questions per move. In a guided scan we also walk one workflow with the people who run it. You get the step with the most leverage and advice for the first sprint.
How the scan worksThe whole method, on paper.
The six moves, exercises you can run yourself, worksheets and the evidence behind every move. Including the research that disagrees. In English, Dutch and Spanish.
- Eight chapters, each with an exercise, a worksheet and a summary
- A 90-day plan and a completed example
- Six objections you will hear, and what to say back
