NOT KNOWING AND COMING TO KNOW
METHODS OF INQUIRY INTO UNCONSCIOUS (HIDDEN) DYNAMICS
IN ORGANISATIONS
NIODA'S 5th Annual Symposium
8, 9 & 10 September 2021
This symposium focuses on how we might learn from the transformations and the dynamics that become embedded into our personal and work lives and our organisations as brought about by the rapidly evolving contexts surrounding us. We are transforming in response. One major example indicates the changes brought by the global pandemic of COVID-19 and the ways in which we have transformed our communications and where and how we work.
We don’t know what the future will bring and however we consciously plan, some dynamics play out at hidden levels. There are many opportunities to learn as these transitions and transformations occur and become embedded in organisational cultures. Some are occurring so rapidly that we might easily lose the chance to learn from them. How this can be done is of importance to the ways we might work in the future.
Not Knowing and Coming to Know: Symposium 2021
AUD $250 for the full live interactive online event
All sessions will be recorded and made available to symposium participants, so you can see all the sessions, no matter what your timezone!

method for not knowing and coming to know
Ray Minniecon, Mishel McMahon, and Terri Marsden, are Indigenous Australians who are leaders in the sectors of finance and banking, Aussie Rules Football, Maternal and Child Health, and community ministry.
Their stories (yarns) can only be understood and appreciated in the context of the Australian Indigenous ways of knowing. The presenters are the windows into being, of time, place, animate and inanimate, dreamtime, songlines and moieties. They will offer an experience of learning through yarning. The method of seeking to understand, not to reply, as a respectful mode for learning. Seeking to Be curious, be present, and to re-imagine.
Join us as we “walk backwards into the future”.

Straddling the Fence: exploring the boundary between knowing and not knowing, wanting to know and defenses against coming to know.
It can be painful to stay in the knowing and it takes energy to stay in the not knowing. This panel will explore the experience of translating from one state of knowing/not knowing to another from the perspective of the three panelists: Social Dreaming, moving between different ways of becoming including transgender, and Family Systems work. Join us to explore how we might look at the world together through creating a broader sensemaking field as we pay attention to the other on the edge of our knowing. This panel is an invitation to think together through using new frames that provoke new questions.

About NIODA
The National Institute of Organisation Dynamics Australia (NIODA) offers internationally renowned post-graduate education and research in organisation dynamics, and decades of experience consulting with Australian organisations.
The study of organisation dynamics brings together socio-technical and psychoanalytic disciplines to explore the unconscious dynamics that exist in every group, team or organisation. Learning more about these theories, and reflecting on the experience of them, can support leaders and managers to unlock great potential in their organisations, tackling issues through a whole new light.
