I unveil the deeper structure behind my unified framework for organizing modern work. I introduce WorkControl.org, the new home of the Work Control Framework and System, offering a clear distinction from my personal blog and Kaamfu, the company implementing these ideas in software. I share my vision for a future where thoughtful structure reduces friction and restores focus, and I invite others into this evolving conversation. With this launch, I clarify the roles of my platforms—personal insight, formal structure, and practical execution—all aligned toward reshaping how we work.
Over the past year, I’ve written extensively on this blog about my vision for the future of work—about friction, clarity, structure, and “work about work.” I’ve shared ideas that have shaped how I think, build, and lead. And behind all of those ideas, whether directly stated or not, has always been a unified framework: a way of organizing work that responds to the real-world needs of teams and organizations in the 21st century.
Today, I’m giving that framework its own dedicated home: WorkControl.org.
Why This Matters
As you may know, I’m the Founder and CEO of Kaamfu Inc., a company focused on building intelligent systems that make work more seamless, efficient, and human-centered. Kaamfu is the first full implementation of a system I call the Work Control System (WCS)—a structured software expression of a larger philosophy I’ve been developing for over two decades. That philosophy is the Work Control Framework (WCF)—a comprehensive model for how work should be structured, measured, and managed in a world that’s increasingly distributed, automated, and overwhelmed by complexity.
Together, WCF and WCS form the foundation of a new category of work software—and a new way of thinking about how work actually gets done. And now, that foundation lives at WorkControl.org.
Why a Separate Site?
Because this is bigger than this blog and conceptually differentiated from Kaamfu. WorkControl.org is not a product site. It’s not a sales page. It’s a neutral, open, and evolving resource for anyone interested in work systems, organizational design, or building software that genuinely helps people work better—not harder.
By publishing the Work Control Framework and defining the Work Control System as a public standard—with attribution—I’m opening the door to collaboration, discussion, and contribution. I want these ideas to evolve. I want others to use them. And I want to be part of a larger conversation about what the future of work should actually look like.
So Where Does That Leave This Blog?
MarcRagsdale.com will always be my personal space—where I share what I’m building, what I’m thinking about, and what I’m trying to understand more deeply. It’s where I’ll write about the philosophy behind the philosophy, and the meta-level thinking that drives my work across domains. But going forward, the majority of my writing and publishing around the WCF, WCS, and Work Control as a category will live on WorkControl.org.
That site will host:
- The official definitions and models
- Documentation of the framework
- Attribution and usage guidelines
- Commentary and contributions from the broader ecosystem
- Success stories and setbacks
And it will continue to evolve as this field takes shape.
How It All Fits Together
Each platform I’ve created serves a distinct purpose in advancing the future of work.
MarcRagsdale.com is where I explore ideas in their raw form—where I think out loud, challenge assumptions, and document the philosophical groundwork behind my approach. It’s the space for personal insight and first principles.
WorkControl.org is where those ideas are refined, structured, and shared with the world. It serves as the formal home of the Work Control Framework and the Work Control System—a neutral, open resource for builders, strategists, and leaders who want to apply these concepts in practice.
And Kaamfu is where I put the theory into action. It’s the first and most complete implementation of the WCS, built to demonstrate what’s possible when intelligent architecture meets real organizational need.
Together, these three domains form a unified ecosystem—exploration, articulation, and execution—each working toward the same goal: a future where less time is spent managing work, and more time is spent doing meaningful, creative, deeply human work.
What’s Next
If you’re a builder, a team leader, a systems thinker—or just someone tired of spending your day moving tasks around instead of making progress—I invite you to check out WorkControl.org. Everything published there is open for use, with attribution. And if you’re curious about how these ideas take form in the real world, take a look at Kaamfu, the first Work Control System designed from the ground up.
Thanks for reading—and for walking this path with me. The real work is just beginning.
