You define how process transformation work gets done within your industry or function — setting the methodology, governing quality, and making sure every engagement reflects deep domain expertise as well as the right delivery standard. You manage and develop your team, coach senior specialists on what good looks like in your domain, and connect with technology and delivery partners to make sure the process and platform work fit together. You've made AX Design, the intersection of human, agent, and process part of the team's methodology — you've worked out how to apply it in your domain context, and you coach your team on what human+AI agent experience design looks like in practice.
