An invitation to grow your unknowingness

This year has been awefulsome!  Here at the Tavistock Institute, the three of us, our colleagues and associates have been supporting, for example, sectors such as adult and children’s social care, higher education, multinational corporates, mental health organisations and social change in the international arena as they grapple with the new dynamics of work and organisation.

The seismic shift to virtual working, the greater need to pay attention to mental wellbeing in the workplace as communities and families struggle with grief, financial pressure and increased caring responsibilities has required us to dig deep into our own resources to hold leaders and organisations in our role as organisational consultants. They say you teach best what you most need to learn, and we have been challenged with this new level of learning as the world of work has been turned inside out.

We have supported organisations to survive and even thrive an unplanned culture change with our unique transdisciplinary approach to organisational change, leadership and developmental evaluation. Being able to sit with our clients, co-produce bespoke new solutions rapidly and make sense together entailed an abandonment of the traditional expert role of the consultant. Nevermore meaningful has been our own traditions of ‘being with the unknown’ and ‘working with the emergent.’

If you would like to grow your ‘unknowingness’, please join this year’s Practitioner Certificate in Consulting and Change (P3C) cohort.

We will work with systems psychodynamics, complexity theory, anthropology, political science, and artistic approaches to study ourselves as a temporary organisation, each others organisations, and learn from the previous year’s work to improve your skills in organisational development and change.
