A hypothesis disrupting the field

About this event

The field of Leadership and Organisation Development is nearly entirely based currently on Technical or Psychological principles. Our Leadership and HR Development programs are captivated with this. I am an adult educator and psychologist so of course I think this has a place, but currently it’s too all consuming. We need to carve out space for Ecological principles.

In a recent workshop I was running for HR Executives on Systems Thinking and Complexity all the members of the team said this was the first time they had been introduced to this thinking in the context of organisations and their role of HR. They had learnt a lot about HR systems, people and people management, but not much, if anything about complexity principles, networks and ecosystems and how they function. Organisations are networks in ecosystems and so this is a BIG blind spot for the field – no?

Organisational Psychology is well established, AND now we need to develop a new field of Organisational Ecology? Grow Organisational Ecologists? Not necessarily as jobs people have, but as roles people can take up, or could it be a profession?

Joan Lurie, Founder and CEO of Orgonomix will be presenting her hypothesis on this at this live webinar.

The webinar is free but if you would like to make a donation to reforestnow.org.au when you register ($5 equals one tree planted), we will pass that onto them with joy for the good of our whole ecology.
