ILLUSTRATIVE DECISION FRAMEWORK
AI adoption in an analytical team
An example of questions and outputs to define an engagement. It is not a client case or an observed result.
| Dimension | Question to resolve | Expected output |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | How is working time distributed today? | A task inventory and starting measures. |
| Change | Which tasks shrink, grow or appear? | Scenarios by task, not automatic job-loss estimates. |
| Skills | What does competent use require? | Training and time-to-proficiency needs. |
| Transition | How can the team adapt? | Options for work redesign and phased learning. |
Task exposure to technology does not equal job displacement. Scenarios separate technology effects from demand, organizational choices and workforce constraints.
