The latest insights on re-engineering work for AI

Why we need a universal language

Webster owns words. Google owns the internet. Bloomberg owns finance. 

And now, Reejig owns work.

While others map websites and capital, Reejig maps something more fundamental: how humans create value. Every job role, workplace task, and business process on Earth connects through a unified framework. This isn't organization—it's the first Universal Language of Work.

Breaking down the building blocks

The system works through seven connected layers:

  1. Industry sets the context—whether you're in tech, healthcare, or finance, this shapes everything that follows.

  2. Roles are the positions people hold, like Software Engineer or Account Manager.

  3. Tasks are what people actually do each day—coding, presenting to clients, solving problems.

  4. Sub-tasks break these activities into specific steps, many of which can now be automated.

  5. Skills are the capabilities needed to perform tasks, spanning technical expertise, general abilities, and human qualities.

  6. Processes show how tasks connect into workflows, which increasingly can be managed by AI.

  7. Actions are the measurable results—shipping products, closing deals, resolving issues.

Why this matters now

This framework is essential for:

Organizations that understand and use this model will have a clear advantage in organizing their workforce, deploying AI, and adapting to change. Those that don't risk falling behind as work continues to evolve.

This is more than a new way of thinking about work—it's a practical tool for making better business decisions today while preparing for tomorrow's challenges.
