This page gives you a comprehensive breakdown of where automation and augmentation opportunities exist across your workforce, using metrics that help you understand impact from both a people and cost perspective.
You can toggle the dashboard between:
-
Relative FTEs — showing impact in Full Time Equivalent employees
-
Weighted Salary — showing impact as a proportion of annual salary cost
This flexibility lets you view opportunities through whichever lens aligns best with your organisation’s objectives.
Total Available Technology Opportunity
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll see an overview of:
-
Total workforce size
-
Total available opportunity
-
A split across:
-
Automation opportunity
-
Augmentation opportunity
-
-
A toggle to switch between Relative FTEs and Weighted Salary
The example shown on the page includes:
-
10,000 total workforce FTEs
-
1,000 FTEs of total opportunity
-
A breakdown of 400 FTEs automation and 600 FTEs augmentation
Switching to Weighted Salary reframes the same opportunity in terms of salary cost—helping you assess where efficiency gains may have the strongest financial impact.
Key Opportunities
The dashboard highlights four major opportunity areas, showing where technology can create the highest value in your organisation. These sections update dynamically depending on whether you're viewing data by FTE or Weighted Salary.
Occupational Group Opportunities
Highlights the largest opportunities across:
-
Organisational units (e.g., Clinical Services Division – 250 FTEs)
-
Pearson occupation categories (e.g., Medical – 150 FTEs)
When switched to Weighted Salary, these same values reflect the highest salary-based impact rather than workforce volume.
Technology Group Opportunities
Shows which technology group delivers the biggest potential benefit (e.g., Chatbots – 250 FTEs). Technology group is derived out of our Technology Taxonomy modelling. Weighted Salary mode shifts this view to show which tech group offers the strongest financial opportunity.
Task Group Opportunities
Identifies time-heavy or cost-heavy tasks with the most potential for technology uplift.
For example:
-
Time spent today: 7 hours
-
Expected new time: 4 hours
-
Time change: 3 hours
