Orgtology Glossary

• Orgtologist
  An Orgtologist is a person who the International Orgtology Institute (IOI) has accredited to practice in orgtology. In other words, the IOI has assessed an Orgtologist and found that ze meets all their standards for practicing in orgtology. Derek Hendrikz coined the phrase in 2017. Orgtology is a sc...
• Energy
  To Org, energy is its people, money, and assets. In other words, the resources of Org are its energy. Energy is the strength and vitality that an entity needs for sustained activity. An entity derives its power from its energy. Without people, money, and assets, Org will not function properly, and i...
• Risk Identification Model
  An orgamatics risk identification model (ORIM) is a unique way of identifying the risks of Org. It is different to other risk identification models in that Orgtologists also probe the critical success factors to efficiency and effectiveness. Mostly risk managers just name the inherent risks to somet...
• Consciousness
  Consciousness is the level of awareness that an entity has. This awareness can be of the world around it, the world inside it, or its thoughts and emotions. In orgtology we work with consciousness of past and of future. In 2006 Derek Hendrikz introduced the idea of two types of consciousness. The fi...
• Institute
  An institute is an organization that has a particular purpose, especially one that is involved with science, education, or a specific profession. Professional institutes can associate with the International Orgtology Institute by registering on the IOI site. Their aim with this is to collaborate and...
• IOI Council
  The IOI Council is the governing body of the International Orgtology Institute (IOI). Derek Hendrikz established the Council shortly after he registered the IOI as a non-profit organisation. It performs the exact functions of a Board of Directors. The Council’s specific rules of compilation makes ...
• Feminine
  Femininity is a receptive construct. In Chinese philosophy it is Yin, the nourisher. It is different to “female” which is a biological structure. One can be female but not feminine. In orgtology we hold aspects such as performance, operations, order, implied intelligence, processes, systems, eff...
• Cost Hub
  A Cost Hub is the cost centre to which we charge the cost of our operations and strategy. In orgamatics we do not allot costs to an organogram (organisational structure). Instead we cost the project-, process-, and relationship- constructs of Org. We execute a strategy through programmes and project...
• Accreditation
  Accreditation is the process of accrediting professionals. When the International Orgtology Institute (IOI) accredits an orgtology practitioner, they officially recognize such person as an orgtology professional. In this, the IOI acknowledges someone as qualified to perform orgtology services, deliv...
• Cost Weight
  A cost weight is the slice of budget that an activity, task,C, project, system, process, or a relationship dynamic will take. In Org, all activities happen in some form of a dependency sequence. This creates a flow that brings about a system; process; programme; project, or relationship dynamic. In ...
