This report is organized to take you from understanding the “why” to acting on the “what next.” Here is what each section contains and how to use it.
Why this matters now. Your agency — not your AI tools — determines what you get from AI and who you become in the process.
The five superpowers AI brings and where it hits its limits. Knowing both is essential to exercising AIgency.
Two axes, five dimensions, ten competencies. The AIgency Model that explains how AI capability and human agency compound.
Your AIgency score, persona, zone placement, and overall profile. This is where you stand today.
A deep dive into all five dimensions of AIgency. See where you are strong, where you are developing, and where to focus.
Your response to each of the 30 assessment items. The most granular view of your current behaviors across both axes.
Your path forward with concrete actions for today, this week, this month, and ongoing. Start here after reading your scores.
Read sections 1-3 to understand the model. Then focus on section 4 (Your Scores) and section 7 (Development Journey) to take action.
Here's a question to ponder: When you show up to work tomorrow, which version of you walks through the door?
The most important thing about working alongside AI is not the AI. It is you.
AI is an amplifier. It takes whatever you bring and compounds it. If you bring clear thinking, it helps you think more clearly. If you bring shallow thinking, it produces impressive-sounding shallow outputs. If you bring courage, it helps you prepare to act. If you bring avoidance, it gives you more reasons to delay.
This is the AIgency imperative: exercising your agency in the age of AI requires showing up in new and meaningful ways — with the technology, and with the people you lead. Unlike deterministic tools that do exactly what you tell them, probabilistic technology like AI amplifies whatever you bring — which means the quality of your human agency has never mattered more.
It is not enough to know how to use AI. It is not enough to be a great leader who ignores AI. The leaders who will compound their impact are the ones who exercise full AIgency — bringing both axes to full strength. That's the Orchestrator.
Y-axis: What exemplary leaders do to activate AI's unique superpowers. This is about how you interact with AI — how you prompt it, challenge it, and direct what it gives you.
High scorers here know how to get the best out of AI and how to protect against its limitations.
X-axis: The uniquely human agency exemplary leaders exercise while teaming with AI. This is about who you are when you work alongside AI.
High scorers here stay irreplaceably human — they bring their full purpose, genuine connections, creative vision, deep judgment, and real courage.
Most technology we use every day is deterministic. It does exactly what you tell it to do, every single time. A spreadsheet does not guess. A calculator does not interpret. A calendar does not have opinions.
AI is different. AI is probabilistic technology. It works by calculating the most likely answer based on patterns in enormous amounts of data. It makes educated guesses. This is what makes it so powerful — and why it demands an engaged, thinking leader at the wheel.
The question is not “AI or me?” The question is “What happens when I exercise my full AIgency — bringing my full self AND AI's full capability to the same problem?”
The AIgency Model is built on a structured framework: 2 Axes, 5 Dimensions, 10 Competencies. This assessment measures your capability across each area.

The Emerging Orchestrator
“The flywheel turns, but only while you push. It can't yet carry its own weight.”
The Emerging Orchestrator is on the journey. They are developing in both areas but not yet fully activated in either. Some days they are deeply engaged with AI and with people. Other days they default back to old patterns — a bit scattered, a bit inconsistent.
They are aware of the model and often intellectually excited by it. They can describe what great looks like. But they have not yet internalized the behaviors deeply enough to do them without thinking. It takes effort. It does not yet feel natural.
The good news: they have the foundation. The flywheel is turning. The gap is consistency — and consistency is a practice, not a gift.
Inconsistency is the enemy of the flywheel. Every time you slip back to old patterns, you lose momentum. The gap between knowing and doing must close — or the flywheel never reaches escape velocity.
The Emerging Orchestrator needs to close the gap between knowing and doing. Build one habit at a time. Pick one dimension this week and go deep. Then add another. The flywheel builds momentum one consistent behavior at a time.
The flywheel shows how AIgency builds through three stages: Understanding, Conviction, and Action.
More Meaning + Deeper Connection build the foundation of understanding through Scan, Intuit, Map, and Collaborate.
Actionable Vision + Higher Judgement turn understanding into conviction through Generate, Create, Calculate, and Choose.
Grounded Courage turns conviction into action through Simulate and Lead — and the cycle begins again.
Your flywheel is building momentum but hasn't yet reached full velocity. You're strongest in the Understanding stage, where Scan and Intuit work together to create meaning. Your next growth edge is the Conviction stage — deepening your ability to Generate possibilities and Create genuinely new paths forward.
Detailed breakdown of your scores across all five dimensions of AIgency and their paired competencies.
How do I make sense of this?
The leader uses AI to scan data for patterns and anomalies — and then compares what AI finds with what they are sensing. They use AI to challenge their own assumptions, not just confirm them.
The leader pays attention to their gut — that early signal before the proof arrives. They name what they sense, say it out loud, and resist the temptation to dismiss it just because AI does not show it yet.
The Integration: Everything starts with meaning. Before you form an opinion, before you make a plan, before you call a meeting — you need to understand what is actually happening. When AI scans the data and you bring your intuition — the result is More Meaning. Not just meaning. More of it, and deeper than either could generate alone. This is the first dimension of AIgency.
Who must be involved and why?
The leader uses AI to show the full network — who is connected to this problem, what is upstream and downstream, and who needs to be in the room. They use AI's mapping to decide who to involve, not to replace the process of involving them.
The leader brings real people into AI work at the right time. They ask what the data is not capturing. They create space for debate — and they treat unanimous agreement on an AI output as a warning sign, not a green light.
The Integration: Connection is the hinge of the flywheel. It spans both Understanding and Conviction because collaboration does two things at once: it deepens your picture of reality, and it builds the belief you need to act. When AI maps the network and you bring your collaborative instincts — the result is Deeper Connection. This is relational agency in action.
What is really possible?
The leader uses AI to generate a wide range of options and scenarios — including uncomfortable ones — before narrowing down. They treat AI-generated plans as starting points for deeper iteration, not finished products.
The leader personally invests in building the future — not just delegating AI-generated plans. They champion genuinely new ideas that go beyond what the data can predict, and they name what they personally will do to make the vision real.
The Integration: Vision is where possibility lives. AI is extraordinarily good at generating possibilities from what already exists. But AI generates from what exists — it recombines, optimizes, and extends. It cannot build what has never been built before. The distinction matters: AI generates, humans create. This is creative agency — the willingness to invest in futures the data can't yet see.
What is best and why?
The leader uses AI to lay out probabilities, trade-offs, and costs — making the invisible visible. They look at what AI weighted and why before accepting a recommendation. They use AI's calculation to inform their choice, not make it.
The leader creates new options when none of the existing ones feel right. They give themselves space between AI's recommendation and their final choice. When their lived experience conflicts with what the model says, they follow the thread.
The Integration: There is a critical distinction buried in this dimension — one that most people miss. AI decides. Humans choose. These are not the same thing. When AI ranks options, it is deciding — a closing-down process. When a leader chooses, they can produce something that did not exist before they brought their values, experience, and will into the room. This is volitional agency — the power of conscious choice.
What is my role in this?
The leader uses AI to model worst-case scenarios and failure points before committing. They ask for the unfiltered risk picture — and share it with their team. They know when to stop simulating and start acting.
The leader goes first — showing their team how they work with AI, including the mistakes. When they do not have perfect information, they say so and move forward anyway. Their team sees a leader who is learning, not one who has everything figured out.
The Integration: Courage is the dimension that makes everything else matter. You can understand clearly, build deep conviction, and know exactly what needs to happen — and still not do it. Courage is the act of going first, risking, and leading despite uncertainty. It is what turns the flywheel from thinking into action. This is confident agency — holding your position when AI consensus says otherwise.
Your responses to all 30 assessment items, organized by axis.
15 items measuring your AI capability
I use AI to look for patterns, red flags, and surprises in data before I form my own opinion.
ScanI ask AI to find evidence that challenges what I already believe — not just evidence that supports it.
ScanI ask AI to scan the same problem from multiple angles — different data sources, different time frames, different assumptions.
ScanI use AI to show me who and what is connected to a problem before I start solving it.
MapI ask AI to map the ripple effects — what happens two and three steps downstream if we make this change?
MapI use what AI surfaces about relationships and dependencies to decide who needs to be in the room.
MapI use AI to generate a wide range of options and scenarios — including ones that make me uncomfortable.
GenerateI push AI beyond its first answer — I question its assumptions, ask it to use first principles, and iterate.
GenerateI use AI to pressure-test my strongest ideas against real constraints before I commit resources.
GenerateI use AI to lay out the probabilities, trade-offs, and costs of each option.
CalculateI look at what AI weighted and why before I accept its ranking.
CalculateAfter AI ranks the options, I ask: does the top choice actually reflect our values?
CalculateI use AI to model worst-case scenarios and failure points before I commit.
SimulateI ask AI to give me the unfiltered risk picture — no politics, no spin.
SimulateI use AI to simulate how different stakeholders might respond to our decision.
Simulate15 items measuring your human agency
When something feels off — even if I can't explain why yet — I say it out loud rather than waiting for proof.
IntuitBefore I react to what AI gives me, I pause and check: does this actually feel right?
IntuitWhen AI tells me exactly what I want to hear, I get suspicious — not comfortable.
IntuitBefore AI work goes out the door, I make sure the right people have seen it, shaped it, and challenged it.
CollaborateI ask people what the data isn't capturing about their experience.
CollaborateWhen everyone agrees with an AI output without debate, I treat that as a warning sign.
CollaborateWhen I share a vision or plan, I name what I'm personally going to do to make it real.
CreateI invest my own time, credibility, and resources into building the future.
CreateI champion ideas that go beyond what the data can predict.
CreateWhen none of the options on the table feel right, I surface a new one.
ChooseI give myself time between seeing AI's recommendation and making my final choice.
ChooseWhen the data says one thing but my experience says another, I follow the thread.
ChooseI go first — when uncertainty remains, I step forward and make the call.
LeadI show my team how I work with AI openly — the messy middle, the mistakes.
LeadI openly share what I tried with AI, what I learned, and what I'd do differently.
LeadA clear path from where you are to where you're going.
You're on the journey, developing in both AI capability and human leadership. The flywheel turns, but only while you push — some days powerful, other days stuck in old patterns.
Where AI and human capabilities compound. The leader who scans AND senses, maps AND connects, generates AND creates, calculates AND chooses, simulates AND leads.
Development happens through consistent action, not occasional effort. These actions are tailored to your current zone and designed to build momentum over time.
Start now. These are small moves you can make immediately to begin shifting your pattern. Do not wait for the perfect moment.
Build early momentum. These actions require more intention but can be completed within the week. Track your progress.
Establish new patterns. These actions take more time but create lasting change. Schedule them now so they happen.
Sustain the flywheel. These are the habits and mindsets that keep the compounding effect alive. Return to them regularly.
The flywheel compounds when you share the journey. Consider sharing your results with:
Show them how you're thinking about AI collaboration. Invite them to take the AIgency Assessment. Build a shared language for human-AI partnership.
Use your results as a starting point for a development conversation. Ask for support in your growth areas.
Find an accountability partner. Someone else building their AIgency. Compare notes. Challenge each other.
Every conversation about AIgency strengthens the flywheel — yours and theirs. The Orchestrator's next frontier isn't personal development; it's building other Orchestrators.
Pick the easiest action from your “Today” list and do it before this day ends.
Put it on your calendar now. Measure progress. Adjust your development plan.
The flywheel accelerates when you bring others into the work.
