158 Connective Routines 5.7 A model for routine dynamics in professional contexts Based on the findings of this chapter, I further develop the model for routines in highly professional work contexts (figure 12). The figure below translates the key findings of this chapter into an amended routine model. The initial model by Feldman and Pentland (2005) identified routines as dynamic systems of ostensive and performative dimensions. The findings show how ostensive aspects are not only plural, they can also be contested. Different ideas about the checklists’ evidence base and its purposes fuelled selective performance, that were either individual or connected, and predominantly case oriented. Role taking, hierarchy, and connective potential and were identified as mechanisms that constrain and enable (shared) understandings and performances. This chapter therefore contributed to an advanced understanding of the relational character of professional routines. Figure 12: A model for routine dynamics in professional contexts
