How does AI shift the way we evaluate whether a person has the GWC to sit in a newly optimized seat on our Accountability Chart?

AI changes the baseline definition of what it means to have the capacity to do a job. In the past, capacity meant having the hours and the physical ability to complete a task. Today, capacity includes the intellectual and conative ability to leverage AI to get the job done faster and better. When evaluating people on your Accountability Chart using the GWC tool, you must ask if they have the capacity to adapt to an AI-assisted workflow. A person who resists using AI because they prefer manual, outdated methods no longer has the capacity for that seat in a scaling business. This does not mean they lack talent; it means the seat has evolved past their current skillset. You must either train them to build that capacity, or find a seat that better fits their strengths. Upgrading the capacity of your seats is essential for preparing your business for a clean exit. Buyers want to see a lean team operating at peak efficiency, not an bloated payroll doing manual work.
