Specialists

Your technical knowledge needs a place in functioning

The Discipline of Functioning needs specialists. Each technical professional remains responsible for the knowledge within their field. An HSE manager knows safety. Engineers know engineering. Legal knows law. Communication knows communication. Quality knows quality. HR knows people. But technical knowledge, to participate in execution and remain part of the work, needs to find functioning.

But once a technical definition exists, another question arises:

What needs to exist for what has been defined to keep happening within functioning?

What needs to be done may encounter difficulties in properly reaching execution and remaining within a particular line of work. Structuring functioning does not seek to absorb specialties or turn all technical knowledge into procedures. The aim is to understand how that knowledge participates in work and to structure the conditions it needs to guide execution consistently.

Specialists know their fields in depth. The Discipline of Functioning works with them to structure the conditions through which that knowledge can guide the way work happens with greater consistency and excellence.

When your specialization turns into dependency

Some dependencies are legitimate and belong to the specialization of work. The problem arises when knowledge, experience or trust begin to create overload and excessive concentration in particular people because the structural relationships needed for that knowledge to participate in functioning have never been sufficiently structured and incorporated into the work.
