The Convergence Playbook: How to Re-Map Roles When AI Merges Them

A practical playbook for re-mapping roles when AI merges them: audit responsibilities, sort what's autonomous, augmented, or uniquely human, and reorganize around value.

For 250 years, work has meant specialization — dividing labor into narrower and narrower roles. AI is reversing that. As it commoditizes the work of processing information, spotting patterns, and generating outputs, specialized roles are converging into broader ones. This playbook gives leaders a practical method for re-mapping roles before the convergence catches them off guard.

What’s inside

  • A step-by-step way to work from objective, to responsibilities, to roles — instead of defending the org chart you inherited.
  • The three-way filter for every responsibility: what AI can do autonomously, what needs a human in the loop, and what stays uniquely human.
  • The human algorithm — assign value, exercise judgment, bear responsibility — and how to build roles around it.
  • How to lead people through the identity shift when a role is reconstituted.
