Pseudowork and the role of managerialism
In 2018 Dennis Nørmark coined the phrase Pseudowork to cover the expanding amount of busywork, bureaucratic procedures and information sharing, which take up our time and create “corporate constipation” in our organizations. Good intentions that become destructive when implemented. Since then, Nørmark has researched the subject further and in his talk he will share some of the new insights on the topic especially with reference to how the modern management principles we have taught business students for almost 100 years might actually be part of the problem.
