Discussion Question on Using Dynamic Work Design

Read the paper titled Using Dynamic Work Design to cure cancer (and other diseases)”, written by Nelson Repenning, Don Kieffer, and Sheila Dodge. It highlights how the four principles of Dynamic Work Design may be applied practically, using a case study from the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts as a primary example.

Having read the paper, you should gain an understanding of how the four principles may be applied in a complex, dynamic work environment such as the Broad Institute.

Using this new understanding, think about potential practical applications of the four principles with reference to a particular dynamic work environment. Do you believe these principles are easily transferable? Could they be applied to your own context?
