Prism Insight

The Tavistock approach -Systems psychodynamics draws upon psychoanalysis, psychodynamics, social anthropology, complexity theory, action research, open systems theory, systems thinking, systems theory and socio-technical systems (STS), which in organisational development is an approach to complex organisational work design that recognises and studies the interaction between people in their different roles, tasks and sub-systems and the technologies of their workplaces. Grounded in this framework we consider work history, education, strengths, accomplishments, problem areas, skills, values, motivations and goals. Understanding what is really going on at work, under the surface at what we call the unconscious. The context always in mind, considering the wide perspective using a whole systems approach.
