task algorithmisation
The techniques to convert unstructured descriptions of a process into step-by-step sequence of actions of a finite number of steps.
task algorithmisation — the techniques to convert unstructured descriptions of a process into step-by-step sequence of actions of a finite number of steps. McKinsey's Skill Change Index places it in the declining band (SCI 52.23/100) — a skill likely to fall in demand as AI and automation cover more of its ground by 2030. ESCO classifies it as a cross-sector (useful across many industries) skill within knowledge. It is currently listed by 8 occupations in our catalogue, including application engineer, artificial intelligence engineer, digital media designer, and instructional designer.
