What Is Task Structuring?

Apply task structuring deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that task structuring directly affects.

Why Does Task Structuring Matter?

Task Structuring matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by task structuring can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying task structuring may:

  • uses task structuring deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
  • checks the part of the result most affected by task structuring
  • adjusts the approach when the situation changes what task structuring requires

How to Develop Task Structuring

You can develop it by:

  • choose a real task where task structuring is clearly involved and define the result you want to improve
  • observe how a more experienced person handles task structuring and record the specific decisions they make
  • review one completed task and identify where stronger task structuring would have changed the result
