What does your work still need the other for?
The saving is counted where the work is done.
The cost lands where it arrives: on each other, on the client, on what you can still do next.

Before we explain · thirty seconds
Try it on three ordinary moments.
Not a crisis. A Tuesday. Place each one where it sits from where you sit.
No name, no job title. Kept only so the answers can be read by position.
Where does this sit in your work?
Place the moment.
That’s where you put them.
Curious where your team would?
Your three
Put the same moments in front of your team and watch what happens.
- The same moment lands in different places.
- Different roles see different work.
- Some differences repeat.
That is where the map begins.
Your answers are anonymous — no name, no account, no tracking — counted by position and nothing else.
What you just placed
We call it relational debt.
Work makes two things at once: the output, and the capacity to keep producing it. Only the first has ever been counted.
A production liability, created when work can close without producing something the organisation will still need — a judgement, an owner, a standard, someone who became able.
AI can do the task. It can’t be the other party to it.
- It can answer the question.But not be the one who asks why.
- It can write the decision.But not be the one who stands behind it.
- It can fill what you don’t know.But not be the one who holds you to knowing.
This was always possible. AI made it the normal way to work.
And a human kept in the loop doesn’t settle it. Approving is not producing.
What we do
We bring the other part in where it still makes the difference.
- We sit your team with where the passage isn’t there
Sixty minutes, across roles. The moments where the work closes without another position — seen together, by role, never by person.
- You weigh what that costs
What it gained you, what it stopped producing, and who is carrying what nobody settled.
- Then we bring the other part back in
Only where it still changes the work. The team picks the passage; we redesign it with the roles it involves.
Where it starts
Start from a map of your team.
Sixty minutes, 10–150 people, in person or remote. You leave with the map, and one passage to work on.

The name, and who is behind it
altraparte
Italian for the other part, as in d’altra parte: on the other hand — the thought that balances or challenges what has just been said. And parte is also a role: the other one, and the part they play.
I’m Bianca. I’m an organisational psychologist and consultant. I’ve spent the last fifteen years working with behaviour, technology and organisations — from behavioural science in tech to the Tavistock tradition of looking at what happens beneath the formal structure of work.
I started altraparte because AI made me interested in a very particular question:
When we remove the need to go through one another to get the work done, what else do we stop producing?
This is the question I’m researching, testing and working on with teams.
A presto, Bianca

Who we work with
altraparte × Deft
With Deft, the AI transformation studio, we bring this work to marketing teams — where the output arrives fastest and the passages close first.
They redesign how the work gets made. We map what it stopped producing between the people making it.

What still needs the other?
Thirty minutes about your team, what AI is changing in it, and whether a team map is the right next step. If it isn’t, I’ll say so.
