This week I had the pleasure to attend #ECIS2022 in Timisoara to discuss our perspective on the meaning and value of #IndividualWork. We presented our conceptual model to describe how individual and collaborative work shape each other. The whole story: https://t.co/iz58tdRZQc

This is an insightful compilation of research about the cons of #CollaborativeWork and the pros of #IndividualWork. Both are needed, but rhythm and balance are essential but at the same time moving targets. Thanks @stoweboyd for this #foodforthought.

Toward a Working Equilibrium: A Time for Silence

So much about work depends on the pace of alternating between noise and silence.

Projects 2021 #2: "Interplay between Individual and Collaborative Work" @LVM_Muenster. We explore how employees chose to #WFH and #WFO against the complementarity of individual and collaborative work. Needed footing: What is the role of individual work for employees? #hybridwork

"Klösterliche Einzelarbeit" im Homeoffice, "Inspiration und Kommunikation" im Büro. Das war schon vor COVID-19 der Fall, aber "jetzt kann es bloß keiner mehr bestreiten." @sbalzter via @faznet Jetzt muss der passende Rhythmus diskutiert werden, individuell und im Team #hybridwork

[Simon Lansmann @simonlans]

Gensler US Workplace Study 2020 shows that employees spent more time doing focus work instead of collaborative work. Is this a trend towards the "right" balance post-pandemic or do we need to refuel collaboration? I opt for more emphasis on focus work when desinging #HybridWork

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

https://t.co/c4Bwx9kpcn “[Focus and collaboration] vary by the hour throughout the day, and the mix can be different each day of the week. Hybrid models with workdays assigned as being entirely [...] collaboration or focus do not support the normal cycle [...] to get work done.”

What is #SmarterWork? "[It] describes an approach of designing #NewWaysOfWorking, supported by #CommunicationAndCollaboration systems [...]". Read the full answer in the @ercisorg Annual Report for 2020. You can also read with whom we do research on what @Hiltigroup @LVM_Muenster

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

Last Februrary two of our Smarter Work Members successfully defended their PhDs. Jana Mattern presented her framework to better understand and research "extensive connectivity to work". Joschka Hüllmann (@johuellm) made a compelling case for the use of digital traces. Well done!

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

Simon Lansmann and Joschka Hüllmann are preparing the upcoming development workshop of our ERCIS Competence Center Smarter Work.

Let us hope that their good mood persists until then!

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

Today, it was finally our turn to be presented on the instagram page of the department of information systems at @WiwiWWU & @ercisorg.

[Simon Lansmann @simonlans]

For spontaneous people: Tomorrow, 22.12, I am allowed to present the results of our #workingfromhome diary study at @WiwiWWU in the #LunchtimeSeminar series from @ercisorg. Grab some food and tune in. For Zoom details drop me a message.

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

Upcoming Tuesday, at 12pm!

Simon Lansmann (@simonlans) will give a talk on working from home due to COVID-19.

Does it increase perceived stress due to blurring boundaries between work and private life? 😟
Or is it not that bad after all? 🙂

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

At the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic, we conducted a diary study at @WiwiWWU. We examined #stress, #detachment and #communication_overload and draw positive conclusions. First results published in the 'Münster Practice and Policy' #MPP series: https://t.co/UMMImpP33x (in German)

[Simon Lansmann @simonlans]

Looking forward to share our insights, among others, about #MSTeams usage at @Hiltigroup and @LVM_Muenster. How will these new ways of collaboration shape #workingfromhome and #workingfromoffice? Where and how does individual focus work fit in? We address these questions.

[Competence Center Smarter Work @CC_SmarterWork]

The Competence Center Smarter Work as part of @ercisorg, @WiwiWWU and @WWU_Muenster has landed on Twitter. Follow us to get smart insights about #digitalwork topics such as #workingfromhome, #algorithmicmgmt or #privacy.

The “mere urgency” effect is that people do urgent (near deadline) work first, even if it isn’t important. Important but non-urgent work doesn’t get done. This small study shows blocking 2 hours a day for important work increases happiness & productivity. https://t.co/RnvFIJ0bTT

Am 21. März noch nichts vor? Die Fachtagung vom CollaboTeam der @uniGoettingen widmet sich dem Management von Belastungen bei digitalen Formen der Zusammenarbeit. Infos und Anmeldung unter https://t.co/FU3u2uQuaO

A day full of interesting discussions ahead in Berlin at the Weizenbaum Symposium about "The Future of Work and Innovation in a Networked Society" @JWI_Berlin #weizenbauminstitut

Looking forward to present my paper about collaborative overload titled "How much Collaboration? Balancing the Needs for Collaborative and Uninterrupted Work" at #ECIS2018 hosted by @portsmouthuni

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

To make room for deep work, schedule one untouchable day each week. No meetings or phone calls unless they're both urgent and important.
