What work should exist?
Redesign before automating. Remove work that no longer serves a useful outcome.
A vendor-neutral operating framework
Better work.
Not more AI.
HAIOF helps organisations decide what work should exist, what humans should own, where AI should assist or execute, and when ordinary automation is the better answer.
The operating question
Organisations are adopting AI quickly, but many still lack a practical model for sharing work, authority, knowledge and evidence across people, AI and automation.
Who should perform it?
Choose human-led, AI-assisted, AI-executed or deterministic automation deliberately.
How does control remain clear?
Separate recommendation, execution and approval. Define evidence, boundaries and stop conditions.
Trustworthy progress
Useful work moves forward while material risk remains controlled, human authority stays clear and organisational knowledge remains durable.
Five work classes
Before deciding who or what performs the work, first ask whether the work should exist at all.
01Eliminate
02Human-led
03AI-assisted
04AI-executed
05Deterministic automation
From principle to practice
The Core Framework defines the operating model. The Practitioner Guide turns it into assessments, workshops, records, pilots and transformation steps.
Understand the model
Vision, principles, maturity, work classification, responsibility, knowledge, governance, metrics and transformation.
Apply it to real work
Assess reality, redesign workflows, define boundaries, evaluate outcomes and scale deliberately.
Leave durable evidence
Use practical records for intent, decisions, knowledge, governance, evaluation, incidents and change.
