Sequencing
The order in which people learn about a change. The rule: every specifically affected individual hears it one to one, from an accountable person, before any group channel, with group and broadcast following closely after so no one hears secondhand. In collective settings, consultation with representatives may lawfully have to come first. (see Topic 9.5)
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.

A second, distinct form of pro-innovation-and-pro-safeguard positioning that stages capability development and safety discipline over time, rather than applying a shared mechanism simultaneously; treated in full at Topic 6.4.

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where Sequencing starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.
Redesigns roles as AI absorbs tasks, plans reskilling instead of replacement, and supports managers in honest conversations about how work changes.
One lesson on this page teach it as a primary outcome.
Roles that hire for it
Each role page shows the full competency set, what the seat decides, and a readiness check against your own evidence.

- Operations Manager, AI-readyneeds working knowledge
How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
One interview question about it
A team's work is changing because of AI. How do you redesign the roles so people move with the work rather than out of it?
Asked of candidates for workforce transition and role redesign. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Human resources and people operations carries it as work you can show: Role design and workforce plans are your documents.
