As organizations more and more integrate advanced technologies like large language models, robotics, and digital platforms in their systems and work processes, the importance of prioritising human-centred work design for well-being, engagement, sustainable productivity, and innovation adoption in these transitions has never been more urgently felt. Investigating and understanding the intersection of sociotechnical work design and technology implementation is, therefore, critically important. This is what we will do, together, during this conference. 

The keynote speakers will share state-of-the-art knowledge about technology work intersections from their different perspectives. Through carefully facilitated deliberations, expert practitioners from North America, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia and Scandinavia will create engaged participation and collective learning processes for all who attend. And finally, we will all be invited to join the "Helseplattformen" and dive into its work to develop and use a shared electronic health record (EHR) system across all healthcare services, from advanced surgery to primary healthcare, for the whole of Mid-Norway. Helseplattformen invites us to take part in the study of a large, complex case about the intersection of sociotechnical work design and technology implementation, framed by academic and political debate, while it is still under development and implementation.

Welcome to participate, learn and contribute – welcome to Trondheim!
