Work Processes, Team Work and Collaborative Technologies

Key components: Methods, tools, solutions and knowledge to improve work processes, decision-making processes and for managing organizational changes across the value chain. Improving HSE by targeting research within areas identified as safety and environmental challenges of IO. Raised competence of current and future IO actors by providing courses, seminars and university programs.

Objectives

• Identify and formulate principles for successful IO implementation, focusing on operation, maintenance, and production optimization. The principles will be formulated as generalizable recommendations for:
  How to improve decision-making capabilities in co-located and distributed teams, by developing and testing training/coaching formats and new information and visualization design solutions.
• How to use evaluation as a tool for optimizing design and delivery of IO training for virtual teams, by developing and testing a method for evaluating effects of training.
• Successfully implementing Condition Based Operation and Maintenance, using an integrated MTO approach (Cooperation with projects 3.1 and 3.2.)
