Organisations are human, non linear and self organising

Why we do it?

by Dr Paul Thomas 17. June 2008
I just want to remind everyone that DNA Wales at present is a Non-Profit making, cash neutral organisation. No one in DNA gains financially as a result of the work we do in company. Why? Well I suppose we do not want to be considered as consultants, only help. We also want to be able to walk away if we are unable to help. Honesty, openness, transparency, trust and passion are our core values. Its what we do, love, and enjoy. Helping managers change.

We do have costs to cover of course as well as day jobs and as such we sometimes ask for expenses and this is all we ask for in the process of helping you gain solutions to your problems/issues.

Why; well as being introduced to new perspectives of thinking, understanding and working, senior leaders DNA Wales helps 'managers' learn more about the skills and language needed to develop an engaged workforce through the use of Complex Evolving Systems (CES) thinking.

In today’s competitive environment it demands we consider new, emerging and differing perspectives on how we manage our organisation, which are in fact natural human-systems within which we live, work and learn. This is important, not only for the sustainability of private and commercial sectors, but increasingly for all organisations.

This common sense approach makes a real difference to employee empowerment and wellbeing, reduces senior leader stress and improves the agility of the organisation as a whole.

We always present....

•    The ‘real’ context and structures of organisational life and human interaction.
•    The limitations that the rational perspective has on organisational innovation, development and health in light of new developments.
•    A new means to deal confidently and selectively with the most complex problems involving uncertainty and disagreement.
•    A messy but sustainable approach to reducing absenteeism, sickness, stress and disputes to improve worker welfare.
•    An understanding of the basic tenets and applications of ‘ownership’ and trust in a in any organisational context.
•    The impact of targets and measures.
•    The impact of hierarchy, control and managerialism on sustainable change.

Just thought I would remind members we believe what we say, act the way we ask others to act.....

Cheers
paul
