We help companies see how each role changes with AI, what automation it needs, and what it takes to get people there. That covers skills, hiring, team shape and timing.
Start with the work, not the job title. Break each role into tasks, decide what AI does with each one, then plan the people side: skills, hiring, headcount and timing.
List the tasks and how much time each one takes today.
Tool: task inventorySee it in the toolkit → STEP 2Decide if each task is automated, done with AI assistance, or led by a person. Name the tools and how ready they are.
Tool: automation scoring guideSee it in the toolkit → STEP 3Update the job family: what each level does, which roles shrink, which are new, and the career paths between them.
Tool: future job architectureSee it in the toolkit → STEP 4Choose to build, buy, borrow or automate for each gap.
Tool: skills gap mapSee it in the toolkit → STEP 5Set the timeline, team shape and the measures that show it's working.
Tool: transition roadmapSee it in the toolkit →Pick a job family to walk through all five steps: the level ladder, task-by-task automation, skills, how to close the gap, and the plan.
Example job families, titles and figures for 10 common job families. Tools are examples, not endorsements. Check current features with each vendor. In a real project, these come from your own task data and interviews.
A tool only moves to the next gate when it clears the one before it.
Name the problem and the user. Map the tasks behind it. Check if AI is the right fix, or if a simpler change would do.
Test with real users and real data. Measure accuracy, time saved, and where people override the tool.
Set the rules before launch: who owns it, who reviews its output, how it's monitored, and when it gets switched off.
Roll out with training and role changes planned. Track value and risk each quarter, not just at launch.
Each industry uses AI differently and faces different rules. Pick one to see the tools in use, what to watch for, and how roles shift.
The questions we ask of every AI tool, whether you build it or buy it. Value and governance are scored side by side, so a flashy tool with weak controls doesn't get through.
Browse AI products by industry and what they do. Each one lists the governance checks to run before you buy. Rate them on the scorecard's two scales: value and governance.
Product details are a starting point. Vendors change features and terms often, so confirm with the vendor before you decide.
Score the AI tools you use or plan to buy against value and governance. Ends with a keep, fix or drop call on each.
Run the toolkit on 3–5 key roles: task breakdown, automation needed, future role profiles and skills gaps.
Set up owners, review steps, risk tiers and monitoring for AI products, plus a role impact view for key job families.
A full plan across job families: future team shape, headcount scenarios, build-buy-borrow-automate choices, reskilling paths and a quarterly scorecard.
