The AI-era network: - AI Orchestrator: Manages multiple AI tools for specific outcomes - Human Insight Specialist: Provides context AI can't understand - Innovation Catalyst: Connects AI capabilities with unmet needs - Relationship Architect: Builds human networks AI can't replicate - Complexity Navigator: Handles nuanced multi-stakeholder challenges
These roles don't follow linear progression. Professionals move between them based on project needs, creating dynamic career paths.
