What is Dynamic Work Design?

Dynamic Work Design is a set of principles and an approach. It emerged in an effort to improve intellectual work – strategy, innovation, management, technical, and administrative – where work is “invisible” and more complex.

The five principles define an organizational system that constantly learns and adapts, and creates a significant competitive advantage in the process. But you can’t implement them everywhere at once. Instead, the principles need to be combined with an approach that starts small, solves real problems, gets the work flowing (system productivity before individual productivity), allowing you to reinvest the gains in further improvement.

ShiftGear Helps Organizations Think About Work in a Whole New Way

We focus on the interaction of the people, the work, and the organization. Whether you have 50, 500, or 5,000 employees, ShiftGear helps you connect all of them to the flow of work that delivers the organization’s targets. We reconnect people to their work to make it more engaging and productive. The result is:

Higher Quality
Increased Throughput
Stronger Employee Engagement

…and that turns into on-time deliveries, higher revenue, lower cost, happier customers.

We work in a range of industries and functions – from the front lines of physical or intellectual work to the executive strategy. We work in research laboratories sequencing the human genome to corporations drilling for natural gas and retailers looking to manage storefronts across broad geographies; with Operations, IT, Finance, Engineering, HR, Sales and Executive Teams. Wherever work is flowing from one person to another, we deliver higher quality, increased productivity, and more engaged employees with minimal intervention.
