TRANSITION UNDER LOAD
The switch is needed at the moment there is nothing spare to make it with.
01 DEFINITION
Condition in which a change between ways of working is called for by the same circumstances that leave no capacity to carry it out, so the transition competes with the situation that demanded it.
02 CONDITIONS
UNCERTAINTY
MISSING
What the new configuration will require is not known while the old one is still being worked.
TIME PRESSURE
HIGH
The circumstance that demands the change is the one consuming the capacity to make it.
ERROR ASYMMETRY
ASYMMETRIC
A late transition and a botched one fail in different directions.
OPERATOR STATE
CONCURRENT
The person is handling the situation and being asked to change how they handle it.
03 WHERE IT APPEARS
MEDICALA change of protocol is called for by a deterioration that is also occupying everyone present.
ENERGYReconfiguration is required by the same disturbance that is taking all available attention.
MANUFACTURINGA changeover is triggered by a fault while the fault is still being worked.
LOGISTICSA switch to contingency routing is needed during the disruption that made it necessary.
PUBLIC SERVICEEscalating a case means reconfiguring how it is handled while it is escalating.
MOBILITYA change of operating mode is demanded by conditions that already have the driver's attention.
04 WHERE THIS IS SURFACING
This surfaces wherever escalation and reconfiguration are the same event. The system asks for a considered change at the point where consideration is the thing in shortest supply.
What stays unresolved is how much of a transition may be taken over — doing it for the person removes the moment at which they would have understood what changed, and leaving it to them asks for attention that is already spent.
