How Technology Is Changing Job Roles

A job role is usually a collection of tasks and responsibilities.

When technology changes those tasks, the role itself can evolve.

A professional may spend less time:

  • entering information
  • searching manually
  • performing repetitive calculations

And more time:

  • reviewing outputs
  • interpreting information
  • solving exceptions
  • managing systems
  • communicating decisions
  • improving processes

This means career development should not focus only on job titles.

Pay attention to the tasks inside the job.

What does this role actually involve today?

and:

How might those responsibilities change as technology develops?
