The Work Blueprint

Welcome to The Work Blueprint Podcast.

This is where the leaders building the AI-powered workforce come together to redesign how work gets done.

Each episode features conversations with CHROs, CIOs, Chief AI Officers, Work Architects, and enterprise leaders navigating one of the biggest shifts in a generation: the move from static job architectures to dynamic work systems built for humans and AI agents.

From continuous work redesign and AI adoption to workforce transformation, organizational design, and the emergence of Work Architecture, we explore what it takes to build organizations that can adapt at the speed of change.

The Work Blueprint is a conversation series hosted by Siobhan Savage. Honest conversations with the people redesigning how work actually works in the AI era. Not predictions or playbooks — what they're seeing, what they're betting on, what they're still figuring out.

Because AI is changing work. The leaders who thrive will redesign it.

In this episode, Siobhan Savage sits down with Sarah Bernstein, VP of Organizational Transformation and Capability Development at Lumen Technologies, fresh off a live workshop where Reejig, Microsoft, and Lumen's team spent a full day redesigning real workflows together.
Lumen is going through multiple transformations at once: shifting from a traditional telco to a digital network service provider, while simultaneously reimagining how its people and AI agents work side by side. Sarah leads that effort, spanning workforce strategy, learning and development, and the operating rhythms that turn AI ambition into results people can actually feel.
This conversation goes beyond the keynote version of AI transformation. Sarah and Siobhan get into what it actually looked like in the room: mapping tasks down to the subtask level, deciding what stays human and what gets handed to an agent, and the moment a shipped bug revealed that nobody on the team could read the code anymore because AI had written it. They also unpack why entry-level roles need to be redesigned rather than eliminated, and what a real AI work design team looks like once you move past borrowed expertise and start building the capability in-house.
In this episode, you'll learn:
What it looks like inside a live workshop redesigning work with AI
Why understanding work at the subtask level matters more than a high level task list
The four steps Lumen uses to redesign an operating model for AI
Why just-in-time learning has to replace one-time prompt training
What happens when AI-written code creates bugs nobody can find
How AI can be used to fast-track early career development instead of cutting it
What competencies and roles make up a real AI work design team
Sarah Bernstein is the Vice President of Organizational Transformation and Capability Development at Lumen Technologies, where she leads enterprise-wide efforts spanning AI workforce transformation, leadership development, and learning strategy as the company evolves into an AI-enabled digital network service provider.

In this episode, Siobhan Savage sits down with Robyn Tombacher, who leads the Integration Management Office and global business redesign team at Warner Bros. Discovery, to unpack why most companies are stuck testing AI instead of scaling it, and what it actually takes to fix that.
Robyn's career has taken her from digital producer to operations leader to workforce strategy at WPP, and now to sitting at the center of one of the biggest media mergers in the industry. That mix, someone who understands the technology, the business, and the people side all at once, is exactly why this conversation goes further than most.
This conversation moves past the pilots and platforms and into what's really slowing AI adoption down: companies spending heavily on enterprise tools without redesigning the work, roles, and responsibilities underneath them. Robyn and Siobhan get into why "dabbling" in AI doesn't drive material impact, why CIOs, CHROs, and CFOs now have to own this together, and why every organization is going to need someone who can bridge all three.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why dabbling in AI without a plan costs companies money and delivers little return
How CIO, CHRO, and CFO ownership of AI adoption is converging into one shared conversation
Why redesigning the work itself matters more than automating tasks in isolation
How boards are shifting from "cut headcount" thinking to "where's the AI opportunity" thinking
Why every organization will need a capability that bridges technology, business, and people
What it takes to build AI capability inside a company instead of relying on outside consultants
Robyn Tombacher leads the Integration Management Office and global business redesign team at Warner Bros. Discovery. Over a 25-plus year career, she has led major change efforts at the intersection of people, operations, and technology, including workforce strategy at WPP, and now sits at the center of the Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Skydance merger.

In this episode, Siobhan Savage sits down with Michael Fraccaro, former Chief Human Resources Officer at Mastercard and now a Reejig advisor, to unpack what it actually takes to lead an organization through the AI era.
Every CEO and board is pushing AI adoption, yet most companies remain stuck in early pilots, unsure of their workflows, their risk exposure, or how to bring their people along. Michael has spent his career at the center of large scale organizational change, and he now advises CHROs and executives across industries navigating this exact shift.
This conversation moves past the hype and into the practical questions leaders are actually facing. Michael and Siobhan get into why AI adoption is not a technology problem but a leadership one, how HR's role in this shift is evolving, why the capability to redesign work has to live inside the company rather than with outside consultants, and what this all means for how organizations develop talent, structure jobs, and think about reward.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why AI adoption is one of the biggest leadership tests organizations have faced
How HR's role in AI adoption is shifting from ownership debates to shared responsibility
Why the capability to redesign work needs to be built internally, not outsourced
How organizations should rethink developing junior talent in an agent-enabled workplace
Why job architecture needs to evolve into a more dynamic work architecture
What the shift to agentic work means for compensation and reward design
Michael Fraccaro is the former Chief Human Resources Officer of Mastercard. He now advises organizations and executives on leadership and workforce transformation, teaches at several universities, and works closely with startups shaping the future of work.
