Title Lag

The growing gap between what AI is already doing to work and what the org chart still says people are responsible for.

In many firms, software now drafts the meeting notes, sorts the paperwork, and flags the exceptions. But job titles and responsibilities still read as if people do all of it by hand. When nobody updates who owns what, tasks slip between the cracks, people double check work that is already done, and the founder ends up as the default owner of everything new. Closing the gap means deciding, on purpose, what each role is now accountable for.
