Definitions and Acronyms

Definitions and Acronyms

 OVN 0.1.

  1. Authority of this policy

  2. OBoK

  3. General policy on the certification of OBoK products and services

  4. Rules on the submission of products and services to the IOI

  5. Orgtology products and services for commercial use

  6. Marketing and sales of orgtology products and services

  7. Delivery of orgtology products and services

 

  1.   Authority of this policy

    • The goal of this policy is to regulate the IOI Orgtology Body of Knowledge (OBoK) and the products and services that emanate from it.

    • To attain this goal, we aim to follow through on the five targets below:

      • We guide the development of our OBoK.

      • We regulate the creation of products and services that arise from our OBoK.

      • We guide the approval process of new products and services in the field of orgtology.

      • We regulate the marketing and sales of these products and services.

      • We regulate the execution of training; seminars; mentorship; coaching; and consultation in, and of, orgtology products and services.

 

  1. The OBoK

    • The OBoK holds and arranges all knowledge of the IOI.

    • All knowledge that we create on orgtology, must stem from its nine theories. In this, orgtology has one core theory, which gives birth to eight base theories. They are four for orgamatics and four for organamics.

    • Where we develop an orgtology field, we follow one of four routes. They are:

      • General theoretical research, which will involve the core and base theories of orgtology;

      • Practical research in the systematics of Org, which will involve a study of orgamatics;

      • Practical research on the dynamics of Org, which will involve a study of organamics; or

      • Practical research on a mix of the above.

    • Where we advance a practical solution to the systematics of Org, it must either be an add-on to a current orgamatics system, or it must be the development of a new system.

    • Where we develop a practical solution to the dynamics of Org, we must either enhance the way that we grasp a current dynamic, or we must devise a solution for a new dynamic.

    • Where the IOI must prioritise the research assistance that they can give, they will give preference to cases where the researcher gave notice the IOI before ze commenced with hir research.

    • Where the researcher is new to the field of orgtology, the IOI will link hir up with an experienced Orgtologist.

    • The “Body of Knowledge” section on the IOI website will always reflect the latest developments in the OBoK.

 

  1.   General policy on the certification of OBoK products and services

    • In this policy, the IOI separates a provider from a practitioner. They have different prerequisites for registration, but they can be the same person.

    • The IOI will certify all products and services in the field of orgtology, on condition that a provider has met all the requirements as set out in the IOI policy.

    • The IOI will only accept an application to certify a new product or service, if…

      • It is in line with the OBoK.

      • An endorsed provider put forward the proposal.

    • Where an endorsed provider applies to certify a product or service, the IOI will insist that an accredited practitioner has worked with the provider to create such product or service.

      • Where a provider is not a practitioner, or does not have a practitioner on its payroll, it must team up with an accredited practitioner who can then supervise the design of the product or service.

      • Where there is a pact between a provider and a practitioner, the IOI will regard the deal between them as a private matter and will not interfere with that.

    • The IOI will only certify a product or service for 12- months, after which the provider must resubmit the same product and service for decision.

    • All applications must be online, via the IOI website.

    • Where the IOI approves a product or service, they will list such on their website with direct contact and information links to the provider.

    • Where a provider is not happy with an IOI decision, they may appeal against such via the IOI “Appeals Policy”.

 

  1. Rules on the submission of products or services to the IOI

    • Where the IOI must certify a training programme, they will need the following information:

      • An endorsed provider must sell the product or service;

      • An accredited practitioner must execute the product or service; and

      • The IOI must have certified the product or service.

 

  1. Marketing and sales of orgtology products and services

    • Only an endorsed provider may market and sell orgtology products and services.

    • A provider must have a valid registration with the IOI at the time when they market and sell an orgtology product or service.

    • Where a practitioner wants to market and sell these products and services, ze must also register as a provider.

    • The IOI will list and promote all the products and services that they have certified.

 

  1.   Delivery of orgtology products and services

    • Only an accredited practitioner may give training workshops and seminars; do coaching and mentoring; or consult, in the field of orgtology.

    • The IOI must have accredited such a practitioner for the specific field or blend of fields that ze offers.

    • The registration of a practitioner must be valid at the time when ze effects an orgtology product or service.

    • Where a provider wants to execute these products and services, it must make use of an accredited practitioner.

 

Annexure A - Procedure 3-1: Accreditation of OBoK products and services

  2. Submit an outline of your product or service to the IOI in the prescribed format.

  3. The IOI will decide on whether to certify such product or service

  4. Where the IOI does not certify the product or service, they will give feedback with recommendations.

  5. Where the IOI does certify the product or service, they will notify the applicant with a certification number. They will also list such product or service on the IOI website with direct links to the provider.

  6. Once the provider has received the certification number, they may use the IOI logo on their marketing material for that product or service. They may also mention that the IOI certifies that product or service.

  1.  Authority of this Policy.

    • The purpose of this policy is to guide those who want to do research and publish in the field Orgtology.

    • We aim to attain this purpose through the following three goals:

 

  1.   Publishing of blog articles on www.orgtology.org

    • The IOI must approve all blog articles before an author posts it on this site.

    • The IOI will only post a blog article if a moderator has reviewed it.

    • Where a member asks to post a blog article on the IOI site, the IOI will appoint a competent moderator to guide the author in hir publication process.

    • The moderator must certify that the article adheres to the IOI OBoK and to the procedure that is set out in this policy.

 

  1.   Research in the field of Orgtology.

    • The IOI encourages research in the field of Orgtology and will aid researchers where possible.

    • Where a researcher requests assistance to do Orgtology research, the IOI will appoint a moderator to aid in hir research process.

    • The IOI will not charge a researcher for this service, on condition that the ze makes a commitment to pay this forward by helping a future researcher through the same process.

    • Such a moderator will then help the researcher to prepare a problem statement or question, and also help to plan the work that the researcher must do.

    • All research aid given by the IOI must lead to a publication on the IOI website, www.orgtology.org

    • In academic research, the IOI will aid the researcher to gain knowledge through a blog-based research programme.

    • Where the IOI must prioritise assistance for academic research, we will give preference to doctoral students.

    • All online courses of the IOI will include blog-based research.

 

  1.   The readability of blog articles that authors post on the IOI website.

    • A blog article that an author posts on the IOI site must have a Flesch-Kincaid readability of above 50.

    • All sentences in the blog article should be above 40.

    • All paragraphs should be above 45.

    • Passive voice must be below 10%.

    • On average, keep sentences below 15 words – this is a “on average” rule.

    • Keep sentences that start with a conjunction (and, or, if, but, etc.) below 10%.

    • A blog article must be between 600 and 1200 words. It should take a person of average intellect less than 10 minutes to read.

    • Where a blog article is longer than 1200 words, the author must turn it into more than one post.

 

Annexure A -  Procedure 6-1: Publishing a blog article for the Orgtology Institute.

  1. Make it known to the IOI that you intend to publish a blog article on www.orgtology.org

  2. The IOI will guide the applicant via an online application process.

  3. Where the IOI accepts an application, we will appoint a moderator to guide the author through the following procedure:

    1. Create a hypothesis (assumption, question, or problem statement) that the author can articulate in one sentence.

    2. Create an outline. Use mind-mapping; a fishbone diagram; a problem tree; organigram; or any similar method to develop your outline. Do not try to write without a structure.

    3. Use the outline to create a story line (add flesh to the skeleton).

    4. Create paragraph sequence – intro, body, end…

    5. Decide on the angle, and stick to it. If written in first person, stay there. We recommend first person since it bonds a reader with the author.

    6. Write the blog article.

    7. Test your blog article for readability prior to publishing. The IOI will not publish a blog post that does not adhere to our readability policy. If you are using MS Word, you can use the following procedure to test the readability of your blog post:

      1. Click on the “File” tab;

      2. Click on “Options”;

      3. Go to “Proofing”;

      4. Tick the box that reads “Show readability statistics”;

      5. Do a spell check on your document, paragraph, or sentence;

      6. Once done, MS Word will show a box with your readability stats.

  1. The moderator must certify online that an article is ready for publication.

  2. Submit the blog article to the IOI.

  3. The IOI will then approve the article to go live.

 

Annexure B - Procedure 6-2: Assistance with academic research in Orgtology, Orgamatics, or Organamics.

  1. Make it known to the IOI that you intend to do academic research in an orgtology related field.

  2. The IOI will then guide you via an online application process.

  3. The aim of this assistance programme is to make sure that you have the foundational knowledge that you will need to form a hypothesis that will enable your academic research. Where the IOI accepts an application, we will appoint a moderator to help you to ask the right questions and gain the knowledge that you will need to answer those questions.

  4. When you agree with the moderator on the questions that you must ask, the two of you must agree on a set of blog articles that you must write. You must then follow the procedures that we list under “Publishing a blog article for the Orgtology Institute”.

  5. When you have published your article, you can notify the IOI, who will then will post a link on www.orgtology.org.
