I recently took part in a 30-minute webinar on the The Wiggly World of Organization, with my friend Dominic Mahony. Dom is Executive Chairman of Lane4 Management Group, who hosted the event.
A recording of the webinar is available on Lane4’s YouTube channel, here.
This provides an introduction to the complex social dynamics of real-world organization that we all experience every day, whether in a work setting or in life more generally. As Dominic mentions towards the end, this webinar offers what is very much a ‘microwaved version’ of the seminars and workshops that I would typically run with clients on this topic. It does, though, map out some of the main themes that underpin a wiggly-world understanding of organization. It also begins to put some flesh on what I mean by the important notion of “muddling through with purpose, courage and skill”.
If you would like to explore these ideas further, please get in touch.
