Problem
Clients increasingly sought guidance on how AI and automation could reshape their workforce, but existing analysis methods were time-consuming and fragmented. PwC needed a tool to:
Aggregate workforce and labor market data efficiently
Provide actionable insights on automation potential at task, role, process, and function levels
Support consultants in building a clear, data-backed case for organizational transformation
Research
Stakeholder interviews — Collaborated with consultants, workforce strategists, and AI experts to define user needs and data points required for effective automation analysis.
Workflow mapping — Mapped out the end-to-end consultant journey, from data ingestion to client presentation, to identify pain points and opportunities.
Tooling review — Evaluated existing solutions and gaps to inform UX decisions for dashboards, data drilldowns, and interaction patterns.
We explored dozens of design variations, iterating through complex datasets and approaches to arrive at a streamlined, user-friendly solution.
