How we build it in your org

From the market's version of this role to your version of it

1. Define workflow responsibilities
Start with the workflows this role supports: the outcomes, decisions, and handoffs it owns. Task Intelligence examines the tasks within that work and how people and agents can share responsibility.
2. Define your version
Your team composes the job description for your org's variant of the role, grounded in those responsibilities and the task evidence rather than a copied template.
3. Practise and assess readiness
Build on the domain and technical expertise your people already bring. Use relevant Simulations, GenAI Sandboxes, and Skill Validation Assessments to practise changed responsibilities and demonstrate capability. Revisit preparation when the work changes.

Start with the work, not the org chart.

Define what this role will own, then connect those responsibilities to practice and assessment.
