Om emnet

Organisations are described as "stream of conversations" (Patricia Shaw). Communication is hence central in any change process but especially in those coping with complexity. Building on the visual dialogues of gigamapping, the seminar will provide a series of concepts and tools for communication in/for/of complexity.

 

In this module, we study various organizations and their relationships from a systems-oriented design perspective. We will work through our communication framework. We study link it to relevant theories and dig deeper into the systems (people) behaviour and communication. This will include relevant elements from psychology.

We will utilize the knowledge from previous modules and use this as our lenses when exploring how to influence the different feedback loops and power dynamics in the mapping. This inquiry is, in turn, linked to organisational change and strategy work.
