Erecting a tent large enough for all interested in Requisite Work Levels
The Global Organization Design Society is erecting an inclusive tent to support sharing of practice, dialogue and learning by all practitioners around the world who use work levels concepts in their organization. Elliott Jaques' most recent books used the term Requisite Organization but his earlier works used other terms including Glacier Project and Stratified Systems Theory. Others using these concepts have coined names such as The Work Levels Approach, Accountability-based Management, etc. One global firm using many related concepts such as Career Path Appreciation and the Matrix of Working Relationships has a network of 300 or so consultants. Now we have a web site and forum where all are welcome. If you use any of the terms above or those below - and want to join birds of a feather, you are welcome in our tent. Time-Span of Discretion, Complexity of Information Processing, Managerial Accountability Hierarchy, Career Crossroads, Personal Effectiveness Appraisal, Age-Wage Profiles (Maturity Curves), Cognitive Complexity, Depth Structure, Matrix of Working Relationships.
