A presentation I made to the recent Skills Africa Summit

Optimising personal and organisational dynamics.

People and Organisations are inextricably bound up with each other. People need organizations to achieve their goals. Organisations need people to achieve theirs. How these dynamics are managed determines the effectiveness of the organisation and its people.

People and Organisations are inextricably bound up with each other. People need organizations to achieve their goals. Organisations need people to achieve theirs. How these dynamics are managed determines the effectiveness of the organisation and its people.

Some influences on the size of the overlap, and therefore the effectiveness of the organization are:

How the organisation deals with diversity of all kinds (race, gender, age, disability, educational level, language, etc.)

How the organisation deals with discipline (labour relations, performance management)

How the organisation communicates with its employees (formal, informal, supervisor and employee, etc)

How the organisation makes use of and rewards the skills and talents of the employees (job satisfaction)

The level of trust (vertical and horizontal) in the organisation

The degree to which the individual feels he/she can achieve his/her life goals, or even immediate short-term goals, within the organisation.

Personal and Organisational Dynamics can help individuals and organisations optimise their energy levels by providing training and consultation in the following areas:

Diversity

Communication

Conflict handling and Labour Relations

Performance Management

Trust Building and Team Work

Optimising Individual Performance

My blog for business and friends

I am setting up my own consultancy called Personal and Organisational Dynamics. I hope to help individuals and organisations to examine the dynamics happening within and between them in order to confront whatever issues might be holding them back from fully achieving what they want to achieve. The logo on the left is a stylised seed pod with the letters being the seeds from which new growth comes. The logo was designed by my brother-in-law, Keith Wigley, in Cape Town, and I love it.
I also have a StumbleUpon blog at http://tonymcgregor.stumbleupon.com/ where you can visit and see what else I am interested in.
