Systems Psychodynamics and the Internet

I have been hoping to find some more bloggers on the topics of Systems Psychodynamics and the Internet. The latter is easy to find, the former more scant, and the two together seems like a needle in a haystack. Annette Clancy (from the emerald isle - no bias honestly) has just posted on her experience from the annual symposium of the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organizations in Stolkholm which I found quite interesting.

Learning how systems and people coexist and interact is one of the most important things we can be studying as we pioneer into the future. Hopefully in this new era of discovery we can invent systems that work with us instead of some we end up working for.

Organizational Empowerment

Every so often I take the time to write a more technical document regarding Organizational Development with a psychological bent. About a year ago I wrote one on Systems Psychodynamics and Organizational Empowerment and it just sat on my hard-drive. I thought it was about time I shared it with those interested. Enjoy
