Phase 5: re-Envision
Redesign the middle layer
The promise from Phase 1 comes due here.
The coordination work that filled managers' weeks is what AI absorbs first. Shift their value toward designing how work gets done, coaching people through change, and owning quality where judgment matters.
Put it to work
- Let managers lead the redesign in their own areas.
- Protect real coaching time as part of the job.
- Stop rewarding reporting throughput you just automated.
