Managementarranging

Managementarranging is a coined term describing a set of practices that focus on structuring and orchestrating resources and activities within an organization to achieve goals. The term blends management theory with the notion of arranging, emphasizing the purposeful alignment of people, processes, and assets. In practice, managementarranging involves diagnosing needs, defining objectives, and designing arrangements among roles, workflows, and information flows.

Core elements include goal setting, resource allocation, task sequencing, role delineation, workflow design, and established communication channels. Practitioners use tools such as process maps, dependency diagrams, dashboards, and scheduling artifacts to create coordination and feedback loops. Another aim is to enable rapid reconfiguration in response to changes in demand, constraints, or new information.

The concept overlaps with project management, operations management, and systems thinking. Unlike some generic management discussions, managementarranging foregrounds the practical act of arranging interdependent elements in time and space.

Applications are found in manufacturing, software development, events, and crisis response, where coordinating multiple streams is essential. Critics note that, as a coined term, it risks vagueness and varying interpretations, and it can obscure who is responsible for outcomes. Proponents argue it provides a useful umbrella for integrating planning, allocation, and execution.
