Methodology

What To Do Next

Offset potential: Medium Separate from the core score. This estimates how much demand, redesign room, and transition support could cushion pressure.

Human resource consultant (excluding executive search consultant) has some offset potential, but it depends on task redesign holding up in practice and on workers clearing the main switching frictions.

Demand support: Low Transition support: Medium Reallocation room: High Switching friction: High

What helps

  • A meaningful share of the work can likely be reorganized around AI rather than removed outright.

What could slow it down

  • Current demand support is thin, so offsets may take longer to show up.
