korralduslikes

Korralduslikes is a term encountered in Estonian organizational and administrative discourse. It is used to describe a category of guidelines, procedures, and rules that focus on the organization and method of performing tasks rather than solely on their outcomes. In this sense, it covers how work is planned, coordinated, and documented within an entity, aiming to ensure consistency, transparency, and accountability in everyday operations.

The word appears to be a neologism built from the Estonian word korraldus, meaning order or arrangement, with a suffix-like element that forms an adjective-like descriptor. Because it is not part of formal standards, its exact meaning can vary by author or organization. In practice, korralduslikes are often referenced in internal manuals, training materials, or project governance documents to distinguish procedural guidance from strategic or substantive instructions.

Typical areas associated with korralduslikes include process workflows, task assignment and escalation procedures, role definitions, documentation practices, and quality control steps. They are commonly used in public administration, corporate governance, event management, and project administration to promote repeatable and auditable ways of working. Critics note that the term, being informal, can be vague without concrete procedures or measurable criteria, so it is usually accompanied by specific workflows or checklists.
