Automation Risk

Automation probability45%

AI exposure (AIOE)70%

This role has a moderate automation risk due to several routine and augmented tasks, such as reporting and documentation, requirements gathering, and process analysis, which can be supported or partially automated by AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT. However, critical human-centric activities—such as stakeholder facilitation, change management, and cross-functional coordination—require interpersonal skills and organizational judgment, keeping full automation unlikely.

Task analysis

Gather and document business requirements for Microsoft 365 enablement across departments.
Facilitate workshops and interviews with stakeholders to define ways of working and governance models.
Analyze current business processes and identify opportunities for digital transformation using M365 tools.
