PROGRAM CURRICULUM

MODULE ONE
ORGANISATIONAL SCIENCE & THEORY

Orgtology has a specific underlying theory, which is encapsulated by Hypothesis 2X. The hypothesis explains that an Org exists through a duality of concrete and abstract elements, such as operations (concrete) and strategy (abstract). We have two fields in orgtology that help us understand this hypothesis. The first if Orgamatics, where we study different theories on work, results, organisational intelligence, performance and relevance. The second Organamics, where we study different theories on the application of human intelligence, paradigm, Org identity, and human performance and relevance. Module one is therefore understanding the science of organisation from an orgtology perspective.

MODULE TWO
ORGANISATIONAL DESIGN

This is a practical module where we work with the overall design of an organisation. This includes process engineering methodology, creating processes that enable change, developing an organisational culture framework that facilitates inclusion, and crafting an organogram that gives structure to human accountability and efficiency. This module therefore deals with developing a blueprint for Org operations in such a way that it optimises efficiency

MODULE THREE
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Where Module Two dealt with running Org, Module Three deals with changing Org. Therefore, this module is about keeping your organisation relevance through making the right decisions for future change. Here we work with strategy development and implementation. We will help student understand their organisational environments through a REET analysis, create high level Org targets through the Level Zero Model, and to chunk down their vision statement via the 5V Model. The module is practical, and our aim is to not only help students to draft a strategy, but also to understand the purpose of strategy and how to implement it.

MODULE FOUR
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

The aim of Module Four is to internalise the orgtology theories on a personal level. Here we go back to the theories explained in Module One, and we apply them on personal level. Each student will receive a workbook with exercises where they will apply the theoretical framework of orgtology into thei own leadership and management styles. On conclusion of this module, students should be able to apply orgtology theories n leadership, management, and personal capacities.

ON COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH.
