The tech fluency ladder – from tool user to system shaper
Job ads still ask for tools: “Must be proficient in X software.” – but knowing the software is now the baseline. It barely tells you who can actually do the work.
We pulled apart what tech fluency looks like in practice and landed on five levels. It runs from getting things done without hand-holding at the bottom, up to the people who connect tools, workflows and teams so the whole thing actually moves. Most organisations have plenty of people at the lower levels and very few at the top. That gap is usually where work stalls and silos start costing real money.
