Think Pieces
How Does Organismics Work?
Organismics makes corporations more profitable because of their taking social and environmental responsibility, not in spite of it. The Organismics system is designed to co-optimise people, planet and profit.
Organismics is a philosophy which changes the way people think, speak and act on sustainability matters. It has developed over twenty years of often intensive work with corporations, governments, non-governmental organisations, communities, social enterprises, supra-governmental bodies, academic institutions, human rights and environmental campaign groups.
Organismic thinking and action focus with laser-like attention on one primary question: What Works? It is astonishing how rarely this simple matter is addressed.
Sometimes, the answers to the question What Works? are to be found in surprising places. Often these answers come not from places where we’ve never looked but from places right under our noses – places that, as a result of our conditioned thinking, we’ve overlooked.
Among the core influences that have gone into the development of Organismics are: complexity theory, Action Research, cybernetics, web 2.0, branding strategy, systems thinking, strategic communications, knowledge management, e-learning, networking, personal and organisational development.
