Introduction When organisations begin with a clear picture of their contribution to the world and why it matters, they establish a destination. The purpose of this essay is to outline some elements required to aid in achieving a relevant and performi...
Using orgtology to cost a strategy differs from other costing models, such as e.g., the balanced scorecard. In orgtology, operational activity and strategic programs are the two core cost centres of Org. Their relationship is interdependent and not l...
ABSTRACT The continuous bloodbath of organizations is not only a problem facing company executives but also world economies at large. This may be pointed to the dynamic nature of the market landscape as well as the constantly changing customer ...
A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a detailed plan on how to execute an intent. WBS's are used in project management. We do not use the term in process management because there we work with cyclic flow. In projects we must get things done as quickly...
Strategic effectiveness begins by knowing what to change. This is a complex process of understanding both a current reality and a desired state. Its not just about changing. Firstly, it is about knowing where we are. Secondly it is about knowing why ...
Strategic thinking is the art of keeping an organisation relevant. For Org to survive it needs strategic thinkers within its executive team. They are the guardians of relevance. Therefore, they must understand the flow of strategy well. The structure...
Efficiency is the corner stone for any operation. Without it, Org will not survive. In nature, efficiency defines the cycle of life. Resources are never infinite. Therefore, the goal is always to decrease energy whilst increasing the result. To watch...
Understanding is the foundation of change. Before we can improve, we must understand. REET stands for Relationships, Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Threats. The main purpose of REET is to understand the reality of a team or organisation. From such un...
One of the aims of a model is to create a simplistic understanding of something. An architect will create a model to visualise an end-result. A mathematician could create a model to ease calculations for others. For organisations, we create a busines...
The first phase of any strategic process must always be to know who we are and then to decide what we want to do with that. The strategic process thus begins with an understanding of purpose and intent. E.g., there are many boxers in the world and th...
In my article "How to engineer a process construct", I explain that the drawing of a process map is less than 40% of the work. To make a process intelligent it needs data as well as time, cost, and priority. I explain TCP Efficiency™ in another blog post. The aim of this post is to work with the collection of data. The data that a process needs are...

Does one design or discover a process? To manifest, purpose must become a process. Therefore, there is purpose before process. When we create a process, we explicitly depict a purpose. It is our idea of what Org must do to get outputs. When we design outputs, we facilitate outcomes. In turn, this will help us to redesign our process. One will thus ...

There are only two ways to do work. One is repetitive, in other words, doing something that we have done before. The other is non-repetitive, which means doing things that we have never done before. When we cycle work it is a process, and when we complete it, it is a project. Repetitive work maintains things, whilst non-repetitive work changes thin...

Masters of their own trade have always intrigued me. People respect those who are experts at what they do. Be it a plumber, professor, businessperson, sports hero, or any other expert. A profession begins a journey of success. For this reason, I pride myself to be an Orgtologist. It gives me recognition and it sanctions what I practice. I flau...

Organamics is an orgtology field where we study the effect of people dynamics on organisational functioning. Humans create workplace dynamics. This stimulates growth, development, and change. Organamics studies the effect of that on the performance and relevance of Org. The term blends the words "organisation" and "dynamics". The basic assumption o...

The International Orgtology Institute (IOI) regulates the practice of orgtology. To do so, the IOI must set standards that will create a minimum level of quality for orgtology practitioners. In my blog; "What is Orgamatics?" I explain systematics. It is an area of orgtology where we study the behaviour and movement of organisational systems. The ai...

OBoK stands for Orgtology Body of Knowledge. The OBoK has the task to organise and keep all knowledge in the field of orgtology. It holds all the theories, models, and methods that an Orgtologist will use. In so, we base the practice of orgtology entirely on the OBoK. The study of orgtology has one core hypothesis, which in turn joins eight core th...
