Description of Conference: This residential working conference is offered as an accelerated
learning experience. The primary purpose is developing capabilities
to respond to strategic organisational challenges. “Working
conferences” inquire into lived experiences for harvesting insights
and acquiring skills that cannot be learnt from reading or listening
to lectures. The processes that take place in such an institution
are similar to those we are familiar within our own and other
organisations. They are, however, available for study and reflection
which makes the conference experience valuable.
The turbulent social, political and economic environment of the
present times is characterised by systemic crises. As role holders
in open systems, we live and work amidst enormous uncertainties,
numerous changes and complex risks and challenges. While
functioning in roles as members of groups and in organisations,
we need to understand the logic of organisational life embedded in
relationships to its social, political and economic environments, and
evaluate the appropriateness of alternative strategies.
This conference offers unique possibilities to understand and
explore authority relations, organisational relationships and
strategic relatedness between organisational parts and wholes.
How persons, groups and organisations develop and use dynamic
latent capabilities for effective functioning in intra-group and intergroup
interfaces may make all the difference between sustainable
performance and stalled growth.
The conference will provide participants with opportunities to
develop strategic thinking about management processes in groups
and organisations. Together with conference staff, participating
members will have opportunity to experientially understand
‘politics of relatedness’ and leadership phenomena through
exercise of authority and its delegation; to examine and develop
their own capacities to lead; to diagnose problems of organisational
functioning in a variety of settings; and, to learn to work through
problems of resistance to change. Benefits to organisations include
increased capacity to lead and to manage in rapidly changing and
complex environments.
