Norwegian Food Safety Authority
submitted by Computas AS
The Norwegian Food Safety Authority’s (NFSA) overall objective is to ensure safe
food and animal welfare. NFSA’s area of responsibility comprises plant health,
food and fodder production and handling, water supply plants, cosmetics, animal
health and welfare for production animals and pets. Since 2009, about 1000 of
NFSA’s knowledge workers (veterinarians, biologists, engineers, other
professionals) use MATS actively as a decision support system for the main bulk
of their professional work; to plan, conduct and register audits. The public
(farmers, restaurants, food production plants, food shops, fish exporters, plants
importers, butcheries, pet owners) use MATS to register, apply, and view their
own case information, resulting in 150 000 communications per year. Each
establishment or person, NFSA client, is viewed as a case, having a
corresponding work folder in MATS. Each case is followed by NFSA over a
possible time span of many years, subjected to both planned and event driven
control activities (inspection, audit, sampling and document control). MATS
provides focus on task support rather than workflow support.

Qualities To Look For In
Case Management
How this differs from workflow-style processes.

“No plan survives contact
with the enemy.”
– Helmuth von Moltke the Elder
“Planning is essential,
plans are worthless.”
– Dwight D. Eisenhower.

“Often there is ―lock in‖ or
―capture‖ of a certain project
concept at an early stage,
leaving analysis of alternatives
weak or absent [from the
plan]”

The Planning Fallacy

Roger Martin
Dean of the
Rotman
School of
Management,
University of
Toronto
Eliminate sources of variation. Find the one
true way, and get everyone to master it. If
possible, automate those practices to
increase repeatability. Mastery requires
control of the situation.
Mastery without originality becomes rote. The
master who never tries to think in novel ways …
will produce the same kind of resolution even if
the context demands something different.
Mastery without originality becomes a cul-de-sac.

Marcus Buckingham
Author of
“First, Break
all the Rules:
What the
World’s
Greatest
Managers Do
Differently”
A manager should find the best expert on the
subject, and devise the most comprehensive
and detailed plan. Design once, execute
many times. Train people and measure them
against these consistent goals.
The true genius of a great manager is his or her
ability to individualize.
A great manager is one who understands how to
trip each person’s trigger.
Your strongest life is built through a continuous
practice of designing moment by moment.

I don’t know where we should take this company,
but I do know that if I start with the right people, and
engage them in vigorous debate, we will find a way
to make this company great.
Companies have to be very schizophrenic. On one
hand, they have to maintain continuity of strategy.
But they also have to be good at continuously
improving. — Change brings Opportunities.
If a majority of the people on a team already know
each other, team can become stale & predictable.
It’s often through the unexpected insights of new
colleagues that innovation is sparked.

novel ideas or
methods.

What does it mean to “assure the correctness” of the knowledge work process?

A knowledge worker is
“… someone who knows
more about his or her job
than anyone else in the
organization.”
– Peter F Drucker

Enforcement:
Guardrails (on a road) prevent
deviation, but also prevent
anything not predicted.
Guidance:
Guidelines (on a road) show people
where to go, but do not prevent
deviations if they are necessary.
Enforcement vs. Guidance

Knowledge Worker Autonomy
SIX major factors determine knowledge-worker productivity
Knowledge worker productivity demands that we ask the question: “What is the task?“
It demands that we impose the responsibility for their productivity on the individual
knowledge workers themselves. Knowledge workers have to manage themselves.
They have to have autonomy.
Continuing innovation has to be part of the work, the task, and the responsibility of
knowledge workers.
Knowledge work requires continuous learning on the part of the knowledge worker,
but equally continuous teaching on the part of the knowledge worker.
Productivity of the knowledge worker is not primarily a matter of the quantity of
output. Quality is at least as important.
Finally, knowledge-worker productivity requires that the knowledge worker is both
seen and treated as an “asset” rather than a “cost.” It requires that knowledge
workers want to work for the organization in preference to all other opportunities.
-Peter Drucker, “Management Challenges for the 21st Century” (p142)

you must not fool yourself
— and you are the easiest
person to fool.

“Nature loves small error, humans
don‖t — hence when you rely on
human judgment you are at the
mercy of a mental bias that
disfavors antifragility.”
