Rules That Work: Crafting Effective Guidelines in a DARC World

Log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Work is often Dynamic, Ambiguous, Risky, and Complex (DARC). Rules don’t always “work” in the DARC. How can we ensure that the rules we implement actually work? Join us for an insightful session where we delve into the principles of crafting rules that truly serve their purpose.
We'll provide practical tools, including the Dumb Rules Audit (DRA) and Rules for Rules (RfR), designed to help you implement the principles and practices of effective rule-making. Through a Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) lens, we'll empower attendees to:

  • Identify dumb rules, understand their origins, and critically analyze why they fail.
  • Craft rules that are clear, actionable, and beneficial.
  • Declutter your existing library of rules, addressing and refining inherited policies that are outdated or counterproductive.
Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, exchange best practices, and transform your approach to rules. Join us and take the first step towards a more agile, resilient, and successful organization.
