Technical practice
Suggested practice: How would you discover AI agent opportunities in a customer's processes?
What to coverDescribe how you would learn the customer's domain, map a workflow, and identify repetitive work or unmet needs. Explain what you would validate with stakeholders before proposing an agent.
Suggested practice: How would you prioritize candidate AI use cases?
What to coverCompare expected business impact with technical feasibility, using value mapping and evidence from discovery. Explain how uncertainty or integration complexity could change the priority.
Suggested practice: How would you build a customer AI adoption roadmap?
What to coverShow how you would sequence use cases from initial opportunity through implementation and adoption. Suggest milestones tied to measurable outcomes, while making assumptions and dependencies visible.
Suggested practice: How would you turn a business problem into an agent proposal?
What to coverOutline the problem, solution concept, requirements, success metrics, and guardrails a proposal should contain. Explain how you would check that each element reflects the customer's intended business outcome.
Suggested practice: How would you design an AI agent using an LLM?
What to coverExplain the agent's intended task, the information and actions it needs, and where a person should retain control. Discuss how you would choose between an agent and simpler business process automation for the use case.
Suggested practice: How would you redesign a workflow around an AI agent?
What to coverDescribe which steps the agent could handle and which should remain with people or existing systems. Address handoffs, exceptions, and how the redesigned process would reduce repetitive work.
Suggested practice: How would you define an agent's enterprise integrations?
What to coverDescribe how you would identify the needed data and actions across CRM, ERP, SaaS applications, APIs, MCPs, and workflows where relevant. Explain how you would document dependencies, access boundaries, and failure handling for the delivery team.
Suggested practice: What would you include in an agent specification?
What to coverCover the intended outcome, workflow, requirements, integrations, guardrails, and success measures needed for implementation. Explain how you would resolve ambiguous requirements with the customer and delivery team.
Suggested practice: How would you assess an agent that is deployed but not delivering value?
What to coverCompare observed results with the agreed success metrics, then investigate the workflow, agent behavior, integrations, and adoption. Suggest how you would distinguish a design issue from a process or adoption issue before recommending changes.
Suggested practice: How would you evaluate a new agentic AI approach for a customer?
What to coverExplain how you would assess its relevance to a specific use case rather than adopting it because it is new. Compare potential value, feasibility, and guardrails with the existing solution concept.
Behavioural practice
Suggested practice: Tell me about a time you aligned stakeholders on a customer's business problem.
What to coverUse a real example with the situation, differing perspectives, your discovery and alignment actions, and the result. Focus on how you translated what you learned into a shared problem definition.
Suggested practice: Tell me about a time you prioritized competing solution opportunities.
What to coverDescribe the situation, how you assessed business value and feasibility, the recommendation you made, and the result. Make clear how you handled uncertainty or stakeholder disagreement.
Suggested practice: Tell me about a time you coordinated a customer-facing solution across teams.
What to coverSet out the situation, your actions with relevant commercial, product, or delivery colleagues, and the result. Explain how you maintained clarity about requirements and handoffs.
Suggested practice: Tell me about a time you presented a complex solution to executives.
What to coverUse a real situation, explain how you framed the business outcome and trade-offs, and describe the result. Include how you responded to questions or objections without overstating certainty.
Suggested practice: Tell me about a time you addressed an obstacle during solution launch or adoption.
What to coverDescribe the situation, the obstacle, the actions you took with the customer and delivery stakeholders, and the result. Explain what the experience changed about your approach to implementation or adoption.
