Webinar 1 September 21: Contextual introduction to the Norwegian sociotechnical tradition
Webinar 2 September 29: Conceptual introduction to the Norwegian sociotechnical tradition
In the present era of digitalization, agile and lean management oriented approaches are widely salient in current debates on work organization while there is a selective (re-)discovery of socio-technical approaches. There is a large number of published conceptual sources and the range of practical implementation approaches is even much more diverse and hybrid. In order to contribute to a clarification of concept focuses and differences, the Institute for Work, Skills and Training (University of Duisburg-Essen) and the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) jointly organized an expert workshop on October 1, 2019 in Dortmund, Germany.

These workshops are activities within the joint project “Work and process-oriented digitization in industrial companies (APRODI)” which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the European Social Fund (2017-2020).
