3 Tips for Collaborating with The Guardian on a Task Group: 

​

1. Provide Detailed Information: When proposing the use of AI technologies, provide comprehensive details about the tools, their sources, what data they will use, and how they will use it. Ensure that all documentation is thorough and that data handling complies with both internal and external regulatory requirements. 

2. Engage in Open Dialogue: Foster an environment where The Guardian feels comfortable expressing concerns and suggestions. Encourage them to articulate their worries and work collaboratively to address them, ensuring that their insights are valued and considered in decision-making processes. 

3. Highlight the Benefits of Ethical Practices: When working with The Guardian, emphasize how ethical AI practices can enhance the organization's reputation, build investor trust, and lead to more sustainable and secure business operations.

​3 Tips for Collaborating with The Traditionalist on a Task Group: 

​

1. Value Their Expertise in Relationship Management: When collaborating on AI projects, it’s important to leverage and acknowledge their expertise in traditional relationship management. Show how AI can be used to support rather than replace the personal touch they champion. 

2. Integrate AI Gradually: Introduce AI technologies gradually into their workflow, ensuring ample time for adaptation and learning. Start with tools that assist rather than replace human interactions, such as CRM systems that provide detailed insights about investors but still leave the relationship management to humans. 

3. Communicate Benefits Clearly: Clearly communicate how AI can enhance their ability to maintain relationships at scale, for instance by automating administrative tasks and freeing up more time for personal engagement. Provide examples and case studies of successful integrations of AI that have led to improved investor satisfaction and engagement. 

 

By appreciating and incorporating the values and concerns of The Traditionalist, IPAs can ensure that the adoption of AI tools complements and enhances traditional methods rather than displacing them. This approach helps maintain a balanced perspective that respects the proven strengths of traditional practices while also embracing the efficiencies and capabilities that modern technologies like AI can offer.
