Orgtology Glossary

• Influence
  Influence is the power and ability to affect a course of events or a thinking process. The effect of influence is always change. In orgtology we hold that leaders change things and managers maintain things. Change needs influence and maintenance needs empowerment. Influence creates the change, and e...
• OPPI Test
  OPPI stands for Organamics Personality Preference Indicator test. Derek Hendrikz created the OPPI test in 2016 to determine how personality preference influences the ability of a person to be a relevant and performing individual. It measures four sets of dichotomies to create a four-coded personalit...
• 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 ...
• Intellectual Property
  Intellectual property (IP) is a work or invention that is the result of creativity. It is something that an individual owns, because it came from hir mind. Therefore, it is an intangible creation of the human intellect. In most countries one can protect hir IP through a patent, copyright, or a trade...
• Masculine
  Masculinity is a projective construct. In Chinese philosophy it is Yang, the aggressor. It is different to “male” which is a biological structure. One can be male but not masculine. In orgtology we hold aspects such as relevance, strategy, chaos, tacit intellect, projects, programmes, effectiven...
• Innovate
  The origin or beginning of something new epitomizes the concept of innovation. If you were a mad scientist busy making “innovation”, then six parts of “creativity” and three parts of “judgment” would be the ingredients to your formula. The purpose of innovation is to improve or renew. In...
• Group
  A group is created when several people or things are located, gathered, or classed together. In Org we often cluster parts and sorts of people into groups so that we can work with it, or them, in some way or another. Mostly these groups have specific names, such as the Procurement Department, a Cost...
• External Project
  An external project is a project that Org needs, but that is not under its authority or budget. In other words, the project is beyond the “jurisdiction” of Org. An example is where government launches a project to set up a foreign trade zone. The establishment of such zone is crucial to foreign ...
• Consciousness of Purpose
  In 2006 Derek Hendrikz created the concept of Consciousness of Purpose (CoP). It is an awareness of the past and an ability to create efficient systems and processes. In orgtology a mission statement and operational plans are articulations of CoP. High performing organisations has a strong CoP. Also...
• Anatomy of Org Model
  The anatomy of Org model shows a generic construct for all organisations. Derek Hendrikz created this model in 2001 to show that all organisations have the same construct. This is true for-profit, not-for-profit, and government institutions. The model consists of purpose (P), intent (T), intelligenc...
