HR 2028 Living Lab
A sandbox for testing how humans and AI collaborate in real work. We run experiments, measure behavior, and refine the frameworks that make Intelligent Work Design actionable.
Experiential Model
The Lab is built on an experiential model: learning by doing in conditions that mirror real work. We don't simulate collaboration in the abstract—we design scenarios where humans and AI agents share tasks, make tradeoffs, and surface what actually moves the needle. The goal is to move from "How do we deploy AI?" to "How do we create conditions where people choose to learn and apply AI?" Meaningful adoption requires individual agency and self-direction, not passive consumption of pre-packaged tools.
Agent Squad
Four roles that shape how humans and AI work together in the Lab.
Architect
Designs systems and workflows where humans and AI co-create.
Interviewer
Surfaces intent, context, and constraints through the right questions.
Guardian
Ensures ethics, safety, and human agency in every layer.
Coach
Activates learning and adaptation at the human-AI boundary.
HxM Benchmark Index
The Human-by-Machine (HxM) Benchmark Index measures how effectively human and machine capabilities combine in practice. We track outcomes across our Lab scenarios—quality of decisions, speed of iteration, and sustained behavior change—so we can separate what works from what sounds good. The index is evolving with each cohort and is shared with partners who join the Lab.
