Solution Overview

Problem

The modern workplace relationships between organizations and workers lack a comprehensive system for diagnosing, designing, and managing work roles effectively, leading to disparate and fluid requirements that are often not mutually understood or addressed.

Innovation Solution

A system combining universally applicable organizing principles and software to diagnose, design, and deploy work roles, using frameworks like the Personal Triangle and Organizational Triangle to integrate personal and organizational qualities, facilitating better communication and decision-making through the Bowtie model and Work Role Yields Management (WRYM) framework.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a comprehensive system for diagnosing, designing, and managing work roles is implemented, then the understanding and satisfaction of both organizational and personal requirements improve, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework role relation successVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides work role analysis into three distinct triangular frameworks: the Personal Triangle (assessing individual needs, skills, and motivations), the Organizational Triangle (evaluating company requirements, resources, and goals), and the Role Triangle (defining specific job responsibilities and expectations). This segmentation allows comprehensive analysis while maintaining manageable complexity through structured modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where the Role Triangle is contained within the broader context of the Personal and Organizational Triangles. Each triangle contains sub-elements that can be independently analyzed yet are integrated into the holistic work role assessment system, creating a scalable framework that adapts to different organizational levels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system integrates multiple organizing principles and frameworks to provide comprehensive work role management, then the ability to address disparate requirements improves, but the ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework role customizationVSAvoidsystem usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The triangular framework system serves multiple functions simultaneously: it can be used for initial job design, ongoing performance evaluation, conflict resolution, and career planning. The same three triangles are applied across different industries and organizational structures, providing a universal tool that adapts to diverse work roles while maintaining consistent methodology.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The Role Triangle acts as an intermediary framework that translates organizational requirements from the Organizational Triangle into personal expectations for the Personal Triangle. This mediator structure facilitates communication between parties with different perspectives, making the system easier to operate by providing a common language and structured dialogue process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

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.
