Dynamic Work Design - MIT Professors



IDEAS MADE TO MATTER - ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE

The 4 principles of dynamic work design
 Apr 25, 2018
Dynamic work design allows knowledge-based employees to find and fix issues and make improvements in real time, just like on the factory floor.

Dynamic work design is a more effective method of managing workflow, especially intellectual work, says MIT Sloan senior lecturer Donald Kieffer. Using four underlying principles, he defines two distinct types of work for both physical work and intellectual work: “Factory” and “studio.”

Dynamic Work Design is based on four principles:

ALIGN AND RECONCILE ACTIVITY AND INTENT Did my actions meet the goal? Do I know the best way?
CONNECT THE HUMAN CHAIN THROUGH TRIGGERS AND CHECKS Who do I ask for help? When do I check in?
STRUCTURE PROBLEM SOLVING AND CREATIVITY If the activity did not deliver the intent, why? And what are we doing about it?
MANAGE OPTIMAL CHALLENGE How much gap between activity and intent can we handle?

Continuous improvement strategies such as Lean Six Sigma or the Toyota Production System are well understood in the context of the factory floor. What many executives don’t realize, however, is that when properly applied, the concepts and principles underpinning these methods produce even quicker and more powerful results in the office.

If you’re interested in improving work, no matter what type of work it may be, watch this webinar presented by MIT Sloan Senior Lecturer Don Kieffer.
