WORKBOOK SEQUENCE
- 01
Choose one repeated task related to this thesis: The future of work is not human versus machine. It is human plus machine against the old way of doing things.
- 02
Use the chapter signals—The Line Is Moving; The Return of Comparative Advantage; Why New Tools First Look Like Toys; Roles That Fade; Roles That Emerge; What Only You Can Do; The End of the Blank Page; Brief, Generate, Judge, Iterate; The Hybrid Team; The Discipline of Verification; Designing the Job You Want to Keep; Against the Old Way—to identify where the current workflow loses time, quality or learning.
- 03
Define the trigger, input, AI-assisted step, human decision, measurable output and stop condition.
- 04
Run the workflow once with a real case; record the failure before expanding scope.
EXPECTED OUTPUT
Leave with a decision artifact.
A bounded workflow card with one owner, one metric, one review gate and one documented failure response.
