Session examples

These are examples from our research pilot, showing how professional teams have used a moderated session to explore real problems with an LLM. They are illustrative examples, not testimonials, and company details have been generalized.

Example 1

Large company

Handling internal data and comparing outputs across models.

Context

A multinational company wanted to explore how LLMs could support analysis of internal documents related to a new market opportunity.

Session question

How can we use our internal data to understand market options, and how do outputs differ across models?

Participants

Strategy lead, market analyst, and a data/privacy specialist.

How the LLM was used

The team explored the question with different models, using a sample of internal documents, and compared the structure, sources and assumptions in the outputs.

What the session clarified

The session highlighted useful angles and differences between model outputs.

What remained to verify

Findings need to be checked against internal data in more depth, and legal and commercial implications reviewed.

Example 2

Specialized equipment

Exploring whether an existing piece of equipment might be useful in a new application context.

Context

A manufacturing company produces specialized equipment for industrial applications. The team wanted to explore whether the same technology might be relevant in a rehabilitation setting.

Session question

Could our existing equipment be adapted for use in physical rehabilitation, and what would be the key considerations?

Participants

Product manager, R&D specialist, and a clinical advisor.

How the LLM was used

The team explored relevant application areas, regulatory considerations, examples from other industries, and potential user needs. The LLM helped structure options and highlighted relevant questions.

What the session clarified

The session helped identify several plausible application areas and key technical and clinical considerations.

What remained to verify

Technical feasibility, regulatory requirements and market demand need to be assessed through further expert input and research.

Example 3

Sales and strategy

A team exploring a concrete market or commercial problem.

Context

A mid-sized B2B company wanted to explore how to position a new service offering in a specific international market.

Session question

What are the most promising market segments, and how should we position our offering?

Participants

Sales lead, strategy manager, and a subject-matter specialist.

How the LLM was used

The team explored market characteristics, competitor positioning, customer needs and messaging options, using the LLM to generate and compare different perspectives.

What the session clarified

The session helped narrow the focus to a few promising segments and provided concrete ideas for positioning and messaging.

What remained to verify

Market assumptions, competitor information and customer feedback need to be validated through further research and conversations with customers.

What these examples show

Different teams, real professional questions, and a structured, moderated process. The examples illustrate how an LLM can support exploration, bring together different perspectives, and help teams think more clearly — while leaving important judgments and verification to people.

Broader perspectives

An LLM can introduce additional angles, options and counterpoints to consider.

Clearer discussion

The session helps teams structure the problem and discuss key questions more explicitly.

Complementary expertise

The LLM complements, but does not replace, the knowledge and judgment of the team.

Next steps remain with you

Findings provide input for further analysis, validation and decision-making within your organization.
