Socio-Analysis
Socio-Analysis is a discipline that seeks to bring an understanding to complex systems using four primary pillars: Psychoanalytic theory, Organisational theory, Systems thinking and Social Dreaming. Essentially it is a way of working with organizations, teams and groups in a way that explores the conscious and unconscious processes at work in the group. The extent to which these processes are engaged with by the group – and therefore the individuals in the group – will influence the groups way of being in the world and its ownership and sense of task.
As well as working with individuals, I also consult with many organizations and groups providing spaces in which people can really examine what it is they are doing in the workplace both as individuals and together or corporately with their colleagues. It is a kind of psychotherapy for groups at work. It is my belief that our occupational work is one of our great loves, or at least has that potential for us. For many people though their work is a job that they clock into and out of each day. How would it be to see our work as food for the soul? How is it that we can bring our soul to work each day?
