Topics", in the context of Role Based Management (RBM), are specific problems, initiatives or issues that are identified and managed in an agile way by members of the organization. This approach enables rapid reactivity and distributed decision-making to solve challenges or seize opportunities that emerge naturally within the organization.
Topics can take many forms, whether they are operational problems to be solved, ideas for improvement, projects to be undertaken, strategic issues to be explored, or other concerns relevant to the organization. Topic identification and management is agile, meaning that members of the organization are encouraged to flag and address topics as they emerge.
The topic management approach promotes efficiency and adaptability by enabling the most appropriate people to become involved in resolving or developing the topics that concern them. It is based on the principle of distributed responsibility, which means that each member of the organization is encouraged to take responsibility for the topics that correspond to his or her expertise or area of responsibility.
This agile approach enables the organization to remain responsive to changes, opportunities and problems as they arise, without the need to go through slow, bureaucratic processes. It also fosters a high degree of member involvement, as they have the opportunity to actively contribute to the resolution of issues that have an impact on the organization.
In short, RBM topics are specific problems, initiatives or issues that are identified and managed in an agile way by the organization's members. This approach fosters responsiveness, efficiency and member involvement in resolving challenges and seizing opportunities within the organization.
