CREATE FIVE TENSIONS™ is the strategic diagnostic system for facilitators leading AI transformation, not another framework, but a complete practice infrastructure to guide organizations through the new era of human–machine collaboration.
Not technically. Strategically.
THE THREE CORE LAYERS:
LAYER 1: YOUR DIAGNOSTIC LANGUAGE
The Five Strategic Tensions
Five strategic forces shape every AI integration decision:
- Human ↔ Machine
- Speed ↔ Stability
- Automation ↔ Augmentation
- Clarity ↔ Noise
- Control ↔ Emergence
These aren't problems to solve—they're dynamic levers to navigate. Use them to assess where organizational initiatives are stuck and what needs to shift.
LAYER 2: BATTLE-TESTED TOOLS
Enhanced for Human-Machine Collaboration
Proven tools, recalibrated for AI transformation:
AI x Design Thinking
Human-centered systems, stakeholder alignment, and workshop design—calibrated for navigating human-machine collaboration, speed-stability tensions, and AI ethics dilemmas.
AI x Business Model Generation (by Strategyzer)
Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas, and Business Portfolio Map—calibrated to design AI-enabled value propositions, AI-as-a-service revenue models, and data-driven business architectures.
AI x Cloud Engagement Canvas (by AC Vogt)
The Cloud Engagement Canvas—calibrated to align AI initiatives with organizational purpose, connecting cloud infrastructure decisions, data architecture, MLOps capabilities, and human-AI collaboration models into coherent strategy.
The C5T Operating System doesn't replace your existing tools—it makes them AI-calibrated.
LAYER 3: THE DAILY PRACTICE
That Makes AI Facilitation Second Nature
The diagnostic language and tools mean nothing without a practice that makes them second nature.
The C5T Operating System integrates:
- Tension mapping to identify where initiatives are stuck
- Strategic framing to elevate AI conversations beyond technical specs
- Guided workflows from diagnosis to actionable strategy
- Facilitation confidence without requiring technical expertise
This is your operating infrastructure for AI-era work.
