Work role yields management system and method
View Patent ↗A system and method to diagnose, design, deploy, and manage a work role in the context of the complex modern relationship or affiliation existing between the organization and worker. Universally applicable organizing principles, process and software are combined to make a practical approach to the diagnostics, design and deployment of work roles inclusive of worker/talent relations, and predictably determine, reveal probabilities, address causation factors and uncover issues that may lead to success, failure, remedy or improvement in forming and maintaining productive, mutually-satisfying work role relations.
1. A computer program for managing work role yields, comprising:
computer-readable media comprising program instructions which when executed by a computer processor provides a user with a personal triangle framework, said framework comprising a visual representation on a computer monitor or viewing device of a triangle with three areas,
a first area comprising information about how and what an individual provides, performs, produces and operates within his or her work role's central function and purpose,
a second area comprising information about the community, ecosystem, social factors, and environmental factors of the work role and life at work for the individual, and
a third area comprising information about the other parts, priorities and influences of the balance of the individual's life external to work roles and the workplace;
a data input module for the user to input information into the first area, second area, third area, or combination thereof; and
a database for storing the information input by the user;
computer-readable media comprising second program instructions which when executed by a computer processor provides the user with an organizational triangle framework, said framework comprising a visual representation on a computer monitor or viewing device of a triangle with three areas,
a first area comprising information about the outcomes and results desired by an organization for a particular work role,
a second area comprising information about the resources required for a particular work role, and
a third area comprising information about risk relating to or concerning the work role and decisions about the work role and individuals in the work role;
further wherein the second program instructions when executed carry out the following steps:
creating a database file for a discrete work role, said database file comprising work role management information;
creating a work role yields file, said work role yields file comprising yields information for one or more yields that a user wishes to gain or avoid for the discrete work role;
for each yield in the work role yields file, identifying functions to be performed to ensure that that yield is realized or avoided;
for each function identified, identifying utilization parameters for that function;
identifying personal capabilities and qualities suited for an identified function; and
automatically comparing a candidate's personal capabilities and qualities to the personal capabilities and qualities for at least one identified function;
wherein the steps of identifying utilization parameters for that function and identifying personal capabilities and qualities suited for an identified function are iteratively repeated, with the utilization parameters being modified based on the personal capabilities and qualities identified in the previous iteration, and personal capabilities and qualities being modified based on the utilization parameters identified in the previous iteration.
2. The program of claim 1 , wherein the first, second and third areas as displayed are equal in size.
3. The program of claim 1 , wherein the information contained in each area is organized into up to three categories, depending upon importance.
4. The program of claim 1 , where the information in each of the three areas of the organizational triangle include time, bias and space factors.
5. The program of claim 1 , wherein the first areas of the personal triangle and organizational triangle are maximized.
6. The program of claim 1 , wherein the personal triangle and organizational triangle frameworks are displayed as joined at a respective corner to form a role-relationship framework in the shape of a bow-tie.
7. The program of claim 1 , wherein the organizational triangle framework is contained within the personal triangle framework.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the utilization parameters for a function are what an employer must provide for an employee to perform the discrete work role.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the comparison is to the total personal capabilities and qualities for all identified functions.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a candidate is identified as capable or not-capable for the work role based on the results of the comparison.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a single person is responsible for managing a discrete work role.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein yields are selected to meet the work role's purposes and objectives.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein yields are not part of another work role.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein each function is allocated a percentage of time within a determined period of time.
15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the determined period of time is a day, a week, or a month.
