High Risk Zone

Technical Support Ecosystem

⚠️ Non-Plantilla Positions • Institutional Memory Risk

Cross-functional zone where roles frequently overlap. Personnel operate in an Agile Team Culture but face Structural Ambiguity with non-rigid boundaries.

📊 Non-Permanent

Data Analytics

Performance metrics & insights

Part of the "Fixes that Fail" cycle: expertise lost when contracts end.
💻 Non-Permanent

IT Programming

Systems & digital solutions

Critical to Digital MEL—but at high risk of turnover (Mobilization Trap).
🤝 Non-Permanent

Partnership Focal

Stakeholder relations

Faces "Support vs. Priority" paradox—accountable to original unit, not WSP.
📁 Non-Permanent

Project Coordination

Event & program management

Mobilized for events, then disbanded—classic "Mobilization Trap".
🎨 Hybrid

Graphics-Tech Support

Visual design & tech assistance

Cross-pollination role

⚠️ Current State: Process-Dependent Task Force

Reporting: Nested under TESDO, reporting to DDG for Operations, with functional management via ROMO.

Categorical Overlaps: Blurred lines between Admin, Technical, and Support create "Agile Chaos"—not structured agility.

Plantilla Ratio: Only 4 of 9+ roles are permanent. Heavy reliance on JOs creates institutional fragility.

Technical Support Ecosystem: All specialized roles (Data, IT, Partnerships) are non-permanent—high risk of memory loss.

Archetypes Active: Fixes that Fail Tap to learn more about governance fragility , Support vs. Priority Tap to learn more about cultural resistance , Mobilization Trap Tap to learn more about capability spikes & declines .

Solution: Transition to calibrated structure with permanent roles in all three groups. See Calibrated Structure.
