Humanership × Augmentership

The philosophy and the practice

Governance table bringing together people and an AI around a map of Africa

The collective space

Governing together: the capability of a team or organisation to direct, verify and own its AI-enabled work configurations.

One-to-one dialogue between a person and an AI in golden light

The individual relationship

Staying in charge: the agency, judgement and dignity of the person working with AI.

« Humanership gives meaning to the human-centred question. Augmentership provides a disciplined way to design and evaluate work with AI. »

« Humanership is the philosophy. Augmentership is a structured practice for designing and evaluating augmented work configurations. »

The question is not only what AI can do for humans, but what humans can become through the way they work with AI.

Augmentership remains applicable independently of Humanership. Humanership provides its philosophical and leadership context; Augmentership can be assessed and applied on its own.

« Humanership creates the space. Augmentership asks what becomes possible in that space. »
