The 40/40/20 Workforce Model: A Strategic Analysis for CIOs, CTOs and Chief People Officers
The Future of Enterprise Delivery Is 40% Employees, 40% On-Demand Specialists, and 20% AI Agents
Enterprises everywhere are investing heavily in AI agents, driven by the productivity and innovation gains they promise.
But this creates a new operational challenge for tech leaders: understanding what skills exist across both their people and their agents, and ensuring those capabilities can be deployed effectively.
Without a clear system for tracking which people and agents are active (including “shadow agents”), organisations risk duplicated work, compliance issues and wasted spend.
Unified inventories give you a single source of truth.
That’s why we built our own. A purpose-built technology taxonomy with 40,000+ IT skills across 442 subcategories.
With the Agent Registry we have added another layer to our Work Orchestration Platform, ensuring it covers all resources enterprise leaders have available to them – both human and digital.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all AI approach, this is vendor agnostic, so enterprises can use the AI stack of their choice, whether a Microsoft 365 Copilot or a bespoke AI, within the Gigged.AI workflow.
For example, a developer might bring a code testing agent that reviews their work in real time, or a manager might use an AI assistant to draft project scopes.
These agents can then be automatically matched to projects posted on the platform to ensure the best fit talent is always in the right place – whether that be an internal employee, contractor, agent or a combination of all of them.
Gigged.AI supports SFIA 9, the globally recognised framework for digital and technology skills.
Enterprises can align their internal skill definitions to SFIA for consistent capability mapping across all roles.
Our skills taxonomy incorporates data from O*NET, the U.S. Department of Labor’s definitive occupational database.
This ensures every role and skill on Gigged.AI maps accurately to real-world job functions, driving better matches and analytics.
“What stood out with Mobilise was how fast it gets you from a brief to a team.
Instead of starting with a blank page or a call to a supplier, we start with our own people and agents and only fill the gaps that are really there. It has changed how we plan work.”

The Future of Enterprise Delivery Is 40% Employees, 40% On-Demand Specialists, and 20% AI Agents

Global demand for AI and digital skills is exponentially outpacing supply, a trend that is no longer a prediction, but a present-day bottleneck.

On 6th October OpenAI announced AgentKit which is a complete set of tools for developers and enterprises to build, deploy, and optimise AI agents.
