Whether designing a new job or working in an existing one, the critical activities that the job holder will have to perform must be identified. The Types of Work Model underpins the work that we do at Team Management Services as it documents the critical success factors that are required to achieve the best possible outcome to a task or project.

Research has shown that while many of these critical job activities can be carried out by a wide variety of people, certain key activities need to be carried out by people with particular abilities, preferences, and skills. In most jobs there are likely to be two or three activities that are critical to successful performance. If these activities are carried out effectively, it can make the difference between high and low performance in a job.

The Types of Work Model is versatile, allowing any of the following uses and approaches:

• Analysis of existing jobs
• Job design and redesign
• Project Management
• Time Management
• Debriefing exercises
