Turning scattered information into an action plan<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To open their second location, The Den\u2019s team had to operationalize their knowledge and context from the first. Using the Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive plugins, they asked ChatGPT Work to gather and analyze information from across the business and propose next steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning is now more organized, repeatable, and faster, while the team still reviews ChatGPT Work\u2019s output for accuracy and makes the final decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n

One example is The Den\u2019s second liquor-license application. When an earlier hearing slot suddenly became available, The Den used ChatGPT Work to quickly pull together documents, identify what was missing, and convert files into the required formats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWork that would have taken four days of searching, sorting, formatting, and assembling was condensed into three hours of team review and completion with ChatGPT Work.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Den uses the same workflow to respond to time-sensitive grant opportunities. Applying for grants now takes two hours, down from three days, and that means more opportunities to support The Den\u2019s growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Asking complex questions and making faster decisions<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Den\u2019s leaders also use ChatGPT to think through questions and develop proposals before bringing problems to the group. Chandler estimates that this saves her about 7 hours of exploratory conversations a week so she can focus on decision making.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Brooke, The Den\u2019s Head of Programming and Partnerships, wanted a more consistent approach to partnerships as the business grew. She workshopped the problem with ChatGPT, sharing what she knew about which partnerships worked, which didn\u2019t, and why. The result was a proposed partnership structure for the leadership team to review.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Den extends this approach to financial analysis and operational planning. Maia, the General Manager, gathered financial reports from the accountant as well as sales and inventory data from point-of-sale systems. She then used ChatGPT to organize that information into a digestible view of the business that makes it easier to forecast inventory needs and decide how purchasing and systems should work across both locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supporting a growing business with OpenAI<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As the club expands, Chandler spends significant time traveling between locations and meetings. She\u2019s starting to use ChatGPT Voice to turn her travel time into productive work: talking through an email and having ChatGPT draft it, capturing follow-ups from a meeting, or organizing an idea while it\u2019s still fresh. She can then review the work and send it when she\u2019s ready, rather than returning to her desk with a growing list of things to tackle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Den also plans to explore Codex to build more customized systems, including a member app for check-in and class registration, better connections between its point-of-sale systems, and Slack alerts that connect the team across locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of this work comes back to why Chandler started The Den: giving parents a place to feel like themselves, with their children welcome alongside them.<\/span><\/p>\n
