The Task Split Map
Almost no role is a single thing. It is a bundle - some routine work, some judgement, some coordination, some trust, and some old process nobody has questioned since 2018. Stop guessing whether a whole job is safe or exposed and sort its tasks into four columns. Get the incumbents to do it, and to own it.
This one is for readers of The Signal.
