Who's Involved?
The Responsibility and Business Practice Global Group
Teams engaging on Organismics initiatives are always designed to fit the task in hand. Specialists, from Oxbridge professors to Asian market experts, from IT strategists to learning systems designers, from public sector leaders to communications and branding gurus, are among the many colleagues from whom we can select.
Many of the practitioners who participate in the Organismics story tend to appear from among the alumni of the MSc in Responsibility and Business Practice. This unique programme was originally created as an alliance between Anita Roddick’s New Academy of Business and the
Centre for Action Research in Professional Practice at the University of Bath’s School of Management – ranked UK Number 2 in The Good University Guide 2009. Otherwise known as ‘SAMBA’ – ‘a Serious Alternative to an MBA’ – it was the first management masters of its kind and has attracted a growing group of world class individuals from a hugely diverse range of vocations, backgrounds and countries all over the globe. What all tend to share is passion, professionalism and a deep immersion in the remarkably powerful transformative process which is called Action Research.
The Responsibility and Business Practice Group now numbers over 250 professionals all over the world and includes specialists in a full range of CSR and sustainable development disciplines in most areas, including: information technology, construction and property, climate change, transport, mining, engineering, retail, NGO and civic sector, human rights, banking and finance, government, law, consumer goods, culture change, hotel and catering, corporate governance, marketing, packaging, energy, oil and gas, health, leisure, media, natural resources, ethical business, support services, telecoms and utilities.
