Most teams never decided to record their meetings. It just became the default. AI meeting assistants and auto-transcription made it frictionless, so nobody questioned it. But knowing a conversation is being recorded changes it, subtly and reliably. People hedge. They perform. The real conversation happens after the call ends. Try it when you notice people are careful rather than candid, or when sensitive conversations feel like they're being managed rather than had.

Fika is a Swedish workplace ritual: a proper break, mid-morning or afternoon, for coffee and a chat with no agenda. Not a meeting. Not a check-in. Just people being people for 15 minutes. In remote and hybrid teams, that kind of unstructured contact has mostly disappeared, replaced by scheduled calls that always have a point. This experiment brings the ritual back, in whatever form works for your team. Try it when the team feels productive but a bit flat, or when most of your contact has an agenda attached.

Teams adopt AI tool by tool, person by person, with no shared conversation about what feels right. Those differences quietly create tension and misalignment. Writing an agreement together surfaces that, and gives the team a shared language for it. Try it when the team has been using AI for a while but never talked openly about how, or when you sense unspoken friction around AI use.
