DIRECTIVE 040 / CONTROL

INSTALL ANOTHER PLATFORM

Every coordination problem eventually becomes a software opportunity.

Add a new platform for communication, planning, reporting or knowledge management without retiring the previous one. Require adoption while preserving legacy tools during transition. When employees struggle with the expanding stack, provide additional digital training through another platform.

Primary: CONTROLGROWTHMEANING
RATIONALE
Technology creates visible implementation activity and allows process complexity to be described as transformation.
SUCCESS INDICATOR
Employees gain access to more systems for discovering where the information they need is no longer stored.
COMMON FAILURE
Treating technology adoption as work design: reduce redundant systems, manage change load, provide support and distinguish useful capability from techno-overload, complexity, invasion and uncertainty.

THE UNFORTUNATE PART

Unfortunately, the research…

Claim

Technostress research identifies several technology-related stressors—including overload, complexity, invasion, insecurity and uncertainty—and links technostress with adverse well-being and work outcomes.

Evidence

Recent meta-analytic and systematic-review evidence finds that workplace technology stressors have distinct antecedents and are associated with outcomes including burnout, work-family conflict, lower satisfaction and poorer well-being.

Strength: Strong

Sources

The Directive is satire. The research summary is not. Evidence is stated separately and qualified to the underlying literature rather than treated as proof of the joke.
