The hardest moment in any strategy workshop is the blank page — the silence after the goals are
set, when someone has to suggest the first initiative. Ciclo fills that silence with a strategy
team’s worth of thinking, ready before the meeting starts. Crucially, the suggestions don’t just
autocomplete — they come with a rationale grounded in frameworks like Scaling Up and Good
Strategy/Bad Strategy, specific to this strategy.
On the Strategy page, open the AI Insights panel for a live
diagnosis — what’s strong, what’s at risk — followed by specific recommendations based on the
actual content of this strategy, not generic advice.

Suggest initiatives on the Roadmap
On the Roadmap, create a new initiative and open the Suggest
Initiative tab. Each suggestion carries not just a title but a rationale — which
strategic gap it closes and why it matters now. Add the right one with a single
click, ask for more suggestions, or dismiss those that don’t fit.

Suggest KPIs on the Performance page
On the Performance page, add a new KPI and open the
Suggest KPI tab. Each suggestion specifies a metric name, a target value, a unit, and
a one-line rationale for why the metric matters here. This cuts the “what should we
measure?” conversation from hours to minutes.

Suggest actions to unblock execution
On the Actions board, add a new action and open the Suggest
Action tab. The AI suggests concrete next steps — each starting with a verb (Schedule,
Create, Draft) and explaining the blocker it removes. One click to add, then assign an
owner.
AI action suggestions with blocker rationale
In a workshop, use suggestions to generate options quickly and let the client choose. You
bring the facilitation and judgement; the AI removes the blank-page friction.
