👋 Hi I'm Ben. This is where I rethink how jobs are defined, how work gets done, and how AI changes everything.
No hype. No consulting spiel. Just honest takes on redesigning work from the ground up.
How I work it out
This isn’t a process. It’s a practice.
WorkLuma isn’t a consultancy — it’s where I test ideas, frameworks and thought experiments for how work could be rebuilt.
Friction Spotting
Where are organisations stuck? What parts of job architecture, systems or ways of working no longer make sense?
Framework Bending
I explore different lenses (like SCORE) to pressure-test how AI, automation, and human judgment can reshape work.
System Sketching
Sometimes I build small tools, visuals, or automations to see how ideas could work in the wild.
Open Looping
Everything stays open to critique and iteration — I’m not here to be right, just useful.
This isn’t a service menu — it’s a map of where my brain spends time.
Each topic is a lens I use to question how we define, assign and evolve work.
Job Architecture
Breaking down job design into its smallest parts — and rebuilding it for automation, augmentation, and agility.
Task Design & Automation
What tasks actually need a human? What can we offload, augment, or kill off entirely?
Capability Frameworks
Skills are transient. Capabilities are durable. I explore how to build frameworks that evolve with tech and strategy.
AI + Human Workflows
Where does AI stop and human judgment start? I map workflows that balance both — on purpose.
Skills Taxonomies
Most orgs treat skills like a static list. I look at how to structure, cluster, and connect them so they’re actually useful.
Role Description Design
Crafting clear, precise role descriptions that capture tasks, clarify expectations, and align jobs to strategic outcomes.

Ethical Capability Building with AI
Aligning Learning with Impact
I work with the scaffolding behind the world’s job data.
Exploring the future of work through real builds, experiments, and applied thinking.
What people say about working with me
I care about doing good work. These are some kind words from people I’ve had the chance to work with.
Thoughts, frameworks, and experiments on how work is evolving — and where it’s heading.
Is WorkLuma a consultancy?
Nope. This isn’t a consulting firm — it’s where I think out loud, test ideas, and explore how work is changing.
Can I hire you?
Maybe. I take on select projects when they align with what I’m exploring and don't conflict with my other work. If that’s you, get in touch.
Who is this for?
Anyone wrestling with job architecture, skills taxonomies, or the impact of AI on work — from HR leaders to org designers to curious technologists.
What frameworks do you use?
I work with SFIA, O*NET, Lightcast, ESCO, and other taxonomies — but I bend them to fit reality, not the other way around.
Why the name WorkLuma?
Work = obvious. Luma = light. The goal is to bring clarity to messy, complex questions about the future of work.
Curious about the future of work? Let’s explore it together.
I don’t have all the answers — but I’m deep in the questions. If you're thinking about jobs, skills, or AI’s impact on work, I’d love to connect.
