Making Sense of Work - Icebergs and Organisations

Making sense of the world of work

This free session introduces the metaphor of the 'Organisational Iceberg' as a way of understanding the relationship at work between Task (what we are there to do) and Process (the way human aspects impact on the way the job gets done).

20 - 80 training is dedicated to offering online courses that share useful models, frameworks and practical techniques to help us understand and better manage the people side of work. We aim to help individuals, managers and staff groups to develop their own 'inner psychologist' so they can:-

  • be more resilient,
  • have better wellbeing,
  • improve relationships and decrease friction
  • increase effectiveness
  • manage and be managed in a way that people want to do their best,
  • build better teams,
  • communicate more clearly and with greater influence

so that the task can be done more effectively, efficiently, willingly, and at less human cost.

He has spent 40 plus years enthusiastically exploring and studying individual and organisational effectiveness, wellbeing, resilience, relationships. With over 25 years experience in management training, consultancy, personal development and coaching, Chris has looked for the 'difference that makes the difference' to find simple models and effective techniques and strategies that are easily learnt, and work in practice.
