Every industry is full of technical hills that people plant their flag on. What is yours?

    Not strictly technical, although organizational science might be seen as a technical field on it’s own.

    Regularly rotating people between teams is desirable.

    Many companies just assign you in a team and that’s where you’re stuck forever unti you quit. In slightly better places they will try to find a “perfect match” for you.

    What I’m saying is that moving people around is even better:
    You spread institutional knowledge around.
    You keep everyone engaged. Typically on a new job you learn for the first few months, then you have a peak of productivity when you have all the new ideas. After some 2 years you either reach a plateau or complacency.

      I’m in health sciences and I wish we would do more education days/conferences. I’m a med lab tech and I feel like no one knows what the lab actually does, they just send samples off and the magic lab gremlins Divine these numbers/results. I feel the same way when another discipline discusses what they do, its always interesting!

      I’ll allow it, institutional knowledge while sounding good does cause business continuity problems.
