Executive summary

Your teams are already using tools such as Claude Code, Cursor and Bolt

This isn’t a problem to stamp out. It’s a signal of unmet needs and untapped innovation.

The Harvest Framework gives that energy a sanctioned route: surface the real problems staff are solving, let them prototype safely, and have your experts rebuild what works on approved platforms — inside your existing governance.

Building is cheap

Non-specialists can now prototype in days what used to take a team months.

Understanding isn’t

Someone accountable must understand anything that goes live — not just the AI that wrote it.

Harvest the idea

The prototype proves the need. Your experts build the real thing.

The framework

Four stages from experiment to production

A method for capturing the innovation already bubbling up across your organisation — and turning it into solutions that are safe to run.

  1. 01

    Identify

    Find the problem. Describe it, not a solution.

  2. 02

    Enable

    Let anyone interested propose a solution, at any level.

  3. 03

    Evaluate

    Test the idea. Write down what you learned.

  4. 04

    Integrate

    Rebuild on tools your organisation can support.

Throughout: use AI to help craft every stage — but AI never has the final say on what goes live.
