The 40/40/20 Workforce: Composing the Human + AI Enterprise

The question every CIO, CDO and CTO is now being asked is not how many people should I hire. It is a harder, more consequential question: for any given piece of work, who or what should do it?

The 40/40/20 model gives that decision a structure.

This guide is written for the leaders assembling that workforce in practice. It opens with the pressures defining your agenda and how 40/40/20 answers each. It then works through the three layers: the operating model, the blockers that stall adoption, and the pitfalls that sink execution, closing with a 90-day plan.
