Orgtology Glossary

• Deconstructive
  We derive Deconstruct from Post-Modern philosophy. In orgtology, its meaning is alike. To be “deconstructive”, we must question all the traditional assumptions about the ability and function of a process. In this, we believe that a process has no stable meaning, because its activity only gets it...
• Algorithm
  In orgtology we use the terms “algorithm” and “process” synonymously. The term “algorithm” is mostly used in mathematics and computer science. It is an unambiguous specification of how to solve problems, perform calculations, do data processing, devise automated reasoning, and other task...
• Collective Identity
  Where people sanction a common purpose and express a common intent, they form a collective identity. All organisations are collective identities. Examples are culture, religion, corporations, governments, sports teams, etc. The level to which a its members sanction a collective identity depends on t...
• Dependency Sequence
  A dependency sequence shows which activities precede and succeed each other in process and project flow. A flow chart gives a visual representation of the steps in a process, procedure, or project. However, their rules differ. In process flow, we aim to optimise cycle efficiency. In procedural flow ...
• Authority
  Authority is the official power given to somebody to take charge of something or of a situation. The organization gives authority to people to manage a specific organizational dimension, to run a process, or to complete a project. Authority is given and can therefore be taken away. It can be given f...
• Child Process
  A child process is a process that is born within a parent process. E.g., if your “night time” process for the night is to cook food, watch Game of Thrones, and then go to bed, then “cooking food” will create its own process flow. Therefore “cooking food” is a child process of the “nigh...
• Effectiveness
  Effective means that what you produce and deliver, is relevant. Effective thus means that what you do has a favourable effect on those who use your product or service. The world regards successful people as being effective. Unlike efficiency, effectiveness has external focus. Effectiveness is about ...
• Operations
  Operations the condition of functioning or being active. In orgtology we hold that operations are the sum of all repetitive activity within Org. Where repetitive activity organises itself through dependency and purpose, they become a process. We cluster the processes of Org that have the same purpos...
• Accredited Practitioners
  The International Orgtology Institute (IOI) accredits two types of practitioners. The first is an Orgtology Specialist and the second an Orgtologist. These are professionals who practice in orgtology. The entry requirement for both is a recognised degree. Also, both must do extensive training with t...
• 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...
