Work is commonly made visible along two dimensions: the linearand the socio-spatial. Both are limited to depicting work in terms of relatively discrete actions. Activity theory introducesthe crucial distinction between collective activity systems andindividual actions. Expansive visibilization of collectiveactivity systems offers a powerful intervention methodology fordealing with major transformations of work. The linear and thesocio-spatial dimensions of work actions are seen in the broader perspective of a third, developmental dimension of workactivity. Four steps are identified in a cycle of expansivevisibilization, combining activity-level visions and action-levelconcretizations. The cycle is examined in detail as it unfoldedin an intervention study at a children‘s hospital in Finland.It is concluded that expansive visibilization, driven bycontradictions and seeking to reconceptualize the object andmotive of work, is not a straightforward process which canbe neatly controlled from above. Coherent analytical explanation and goal-setting may come only after the creationand practical implementation of innovative solutions.
