# Moderna

A bioscience/biotechnology company (known for mRNA vaccines) highlighted as a **Redesign-step** exemplar for [[framework-aware]].

**Structural move:** Moderna **merged its technology and HR departments** into a single organization ('People and Digital Technology'/'Digital & People') to collaboratively design AI workflows. This structural change lets it deliberately decide which functions — trials, staffing, operations — should remain human-led versus automated, embodying the automation/augmentation division of labor in [[concept-workflow-redesign]] and the practice in [[action-redesign-workflows]].
