1. AI to generate questions 
2. What are some alternative ways that I could do this? What are the possible positive or negative outcomes?
3. Staff filled out a survey, and also ask staff how they would like to be recognised/ celebrated (some like spotlight, some don't) - what's their preferred style.

1. To generate and predict outcomes of various types of scenarios - to pre-develop possible strategies

Communication & relationship Building

• Meeting mode optimiser - AI to set agenda, conversation starter - to have the right discussion starter
• difficult conversation starters - to practise challenging conversation with difficult people (e.g. angry parents). Can use voice conversation - to rehearse the conversation
• Community voice profile - everything may sound great, but can use AI to surface the under-presented voices.

STUDENT-CENTRED LEADERSHIP

• 1. Root cause detector - has AI act as investigator 
• 2. Use AI as a checker group
• 3. Achievement data detector - Google Gemini

• Enter to prompt into the ChatGPT generates and suggests possible areas for considerations, pros and cons of actions 
• Next, can pick an area to get it to suggest communication plan

Another live demo example: 

• New law in Texas: Have a plan on cell phone use
• now play devil's advocate for this scenario and help me consider alternatives issues.
• "No cell phones allowed in elementary schools"

Chat GPT will list out several Possible Situations and Questions to consider. 

Then tap on the help offered by ChatGPT, e.g. to come up with a communication plan.

WHY - getting to the root of the problem.

1. Why this problem happen?

2. Why the specific problem happen?

3. What are the assumptions

I need help to investigate (problem) using the 5Ws.

ChatGPT starts to prompt the user questions (with some pointers); answer the WHY 

The "mood"

Conduct a survey to find out what's the mood is through asking leadership team.

e.g. How the Maths teacher are feeling this way, etc.

As a thinking partner:

How can we look at the problem from another industry perspective - to generate ideas

To hear voices that have been left out.
