Keep capability in the business. Reconsider automatic backfilling as roles and workloads change.
AI capability partner for leadership teams
Now you can build the capability to do both.
Today’s demands leave little time to change how the business works. Work alongside senior practitioners on a decision, document or workflow already on your desk. Make progress now, build your people’s capability and put the time you release behind what comes next.
Start with a 30-minute conversation about PERSONAL. No commitment to the whole pathway.

Reallocate capacity / 10·10·10·10
AI makes change more urgent, but also much more possible. Change still needs time, and we start by helping you create it.
Start by aiming to do five days’ work in four, then redesign the work towards five days in three. The 10/10/10/10 model shows one way to allocate the full 40% if you release it, with each share representing 10 percentage points of the original capacity.
Where that capacity goes depends on what your organisation recognises and rewards. While we help you see the choices, your organisation still owns them and needs to put them into practice.
What makes change possible?Keep capability in the business. Reconsider automatic backfilling as roles and workloads change.
Use your own people and their knowledge to take on valuable work previously bought from outside.
Give leaders capacity to understand and address the new risks AI creates across the business.
Bring people together around customer needs. Test new propositions, routes to market and ways to create value.
Make each allocation accountable. Agree a baseline, an owner, an outcome measure and a £ hypothesis. Use the FUNCTION roadmap to review what changed and decide what to continue, adapt or stop.
Put the capacity to work with FUNCTIONA planning model, not a guaranteed saving. Measure the capacity actually released, including review and rework, and adapt the allocation to your business.

Senior leaders were absorbed by administration and complex documents, leaving less room for strategic thinking.
TIP brought document analysis, communication and scenario planning into a hands-on leadership workshop. Executives tried the approaches on their own work.
TIP’s engagement record notes faster document review and first drafts, with leaders exploring how to extend the approach across their functions.
