Task Bundle Breakdown
How AI interacts with this occupation's task bundle
Task-by-Task Breakdown
Every task scored individually — sorted highest to lowest AI exposure
plans and directs research into business' strategy, policy, organisation, procedures, methods and markets and evaluates the results
AI platforms like Perplexity, ChatGPT, or specialised market intelligence tools can rapidly gather and synthesise research on strategy, markets, and competitors, significantly accelerating the research phase while humans interpret and apply findings.
determines staffing, financial and other short- and long-term requirements
AI tools like Copilot or ChatGPT can model workforce scenarios, forecast financial requirements, and surface data-driven staffing insights, but final strategic decisions require human judgment and contextual knowledge.
plans work schedules, assigns tasks and delegates responsibilities to staff
AI-powered project management tools like Microsoft Project with Copilot or Asana AI can suggest task assignments and scheduling optimisations, but human judgment is needed to account for individual staff capabilities and team dynamics.
reviews and advises on recommendations to clients with a view to maximising growth and improving business performance
AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude can draft structured recommendations and benchmark against industry best practices, but the credibility, contextual nuance, and accountability of final client advice depends on experienced human directors.
oversees and advises multiples projects to ensure they are delivered on time and to a high quality and contributes to the assessment of clients' needs
AI tools like ChatGPT or Notion AI can help synthesise project status reports and flag risks, but overseeing quality, managing client expectations, and making nuanced judgement calls across multiple projects remains a human responsibility.
builds relationships with clients, the local business community and relevant organisations and promotes their business
Relationship-building is fundamentally human and interpersonal; AI can assist with CRM data analysis (e.g. Salesforce Einstein) or drafting outreach communications, but trust and rapport require genuine human engagement.
ROI Calculator
Directors in consultancy services
This is not a pay rise — it's 615 hours of productive capacity that AI could return to you, valued at your current rate.
The portion of your current salary tied to tasks AI can automate or augment. Not a prediction of job loss — a signal of where your role is changing fastest.
How is this calculated?▾
Task weights — each task is weighted by its O*NET frequency rating. Where frequency data is absent, equal weighting is applied.
AI time reduction — tasks scored as "AI Automates" assume 80% time saving; "AI Assists" assumes 40%; "Human-Led" assumes 5%.
Salary equivalent — annual hours saved × (salary ÷ 1,800 working hours/year).
Value at risk — salary × share of role time in AI-automate or AI-assist tasks.
Figures are indicative estimates for planning purposes, not guarantees of productivity gain or job loss risk.
