Work

In the workplace, the impact of Digital DIY is widespread across all sectors of the economy, and scarcely related to the skills of individuals. This means that Digital DIY has the potential to reshape work, and its organization, both for individuals and for companies of all sizes.

The DiDIY Project  studies the transformations that Digital DIY is already producing, or may produce, in European companies and workplaces, in order to produce guidelines that maximize the positive impacts of Digital DIY on the quality of such systems. This part of the research activity happened in the Work Package named Organization and Work.

To understand this side of DiDIY, and what should be done about it, we suggest you to look at the following studies, proposals and other resources by the DiDIY Project, listed here from the least to the most complex:
