Orgtology Glossary

• Outsourced Task
  An outsourced task is where Org contracts an external party to execute a task. Providers run outsourced tasks, but it is within the budget of Org. In orgtology, all processes and projects are made of tasks. The aim of a task is to get things done. We use classification or C-Keys to classify the acti...
• Operational Cost
  Operational cost is the cost of running the business processes of Org. The traditional understanding of operations is that it excludes support services such as human resource management, procurement, finance, etc. In orgamatics we hold a different view. We see all repetitive activity as operational ...
• 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...
• Mentor
  A mentor is an experienced and trusted adviser. Mentorship is the guidance that a mentor gives to a mentee. A mentee is the persons who is being mentored. A mentor is often an experienced person in a company or educational institution. Mentorship is quite different to coaching. There is no official ...
• Critical Success Factor
  A critical success factor (CSF) is an element that is necessary for a process or project to achieve its outputs or outcomes. It is thus a critical factor for ensuring the success of a company or an organization. In orgtology we use CSF’s to identify the risks of a project or process. Together with...
• 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...
• Endorsed Provider
  An endorsed provider is a company that the IOI endorses to use orgtology methods, concepts, etc., for commercial use. In other words, an endorsed provider can make money from orgtology. The IOI has a strict endorsement policy and criteria. E.g., an entity that wants endorsement must have an Orgtolog...
• No Risk Indicator
  A “no risk” incident is an incident that is unlikely to happen, and even if it does, it will have no impact. In orgtology, we do not spend energy on managing “no risk” incidents. Its only purpose is to give statistical meaning to other risks.  
• Controlled Dependence
  In 2017, Derek Hendrikz introduced an RPO maturity model. It aims to decide how mature Org is to be both Relevant and Performing. The model poses five levels of maturity. They are from level one to five: dependency; controlled dependency; independence; controlled independence; and interdependence. 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 ...
