NIODA'S 4th Annual Symposium
9, 10 & 11 September 2020
Working into the future: Building individual and organisational capacities beyond 2020
This symposium focuses on how organisations can best equip themselves for working into a complex future where industries and professions are interconnected globally, technologically and are interconnected through diversity in and between our organisations. In addition, the importance of connectedness to the local community becomes evident. Twenty-twenty is a year where we have twenty years of experience in the twenty-first century with many indications of what is to come. The context includes environmental issues, workforce diversity, political and technological changes. Internally we need to address organisational governance, leadership capabilities, stakeholder engagement and organisational culture.
What are the capacities that will enable organisations to thrive in the future? Many of these are intangible, not easily measured, yet critical to the health and success of an organisation. For instance: the capacities to work with diverse and complex differences between people and ideas; the capacity to withhold judgement and reflect on processes alongside the capacity to make informed decisions and act decisively; and, the capacity to see and work with the interconnectedness between the organisation, its purpose, tasks, people and context.
The Symposium is an opportunity for industries and organisations to interact and think together with experienced socioanalytic professionals. It is a timely opportunity to consider the primary issues of leading organisations in the twenty-first century. It offers both theoretical and strongly practical approaches.
Keynote speaker: Dr Jim Krantz
The Century of the System: Complexity and Interconnectedness in our Social, Organizational and Community Lives.
This presentation discusses how systems thinking provides a lens that is essential for understanding today’s challenges.
Our highly complex, globalized, information-intensive world is comprised of interdependent and inter-locking systems rather than free-standing organizations. Only through understanding how these systems operate will we be able to identify and address root causes.
By recognizing the importance of systems thinking and systemic responses, leaders and their teams can craft more effective, collaborative approaches to the complex situations they face. Topics will include:
- What is a system, how do they work and why systems thinking has become so critical?
- Where systems thinking comes from and how it connects with other ways of thinking and other approaches to problem-solving.
- Leadership, as understood from a systemic perspective.
- The psychological background to groups and organizations in contemporary organizations.
- Reframing today’s organizational challenges in systems terms.
James Krantz is an organizational consultant and researcher from New York City, whose principal interests are in the impact of emerging trends on the exercise of leadership and authority; the social and technical dimensions of new forms of work organization; and the unconscious background to work and organizational life. He is the Managing Principal of Worklab, a consulting firm in New York City that focuses on strategy implementation, leadership development, and helping organizations confront the need for change.
