We are happy to welcome back Dr.
Bill Bergquist to work with our network. Bill is the President of the Professional
School of Psychology in Sacramento and last led a weekend workshop here
on Bowen Island to help our members develop their consulting skills.
This time Bill will be talking about Organization Development and The Post
Modern Organization. As he says: “Organizations today are poised on the edge
of chaos – caught in the unpredictable, ambiguous postmodern era where the
systems of the past no longer apply and the rules of the future have not yet
been made clear.” Bill will talk about 5 key dimensions of life in post modern
organizations: size and complexity, mission and boundaries, leadership, communication,
and capital and worker values.
Please Note: Bill will be staying around after the meeting to make a brief
presentation about the Doctorate in Organizational Psychology Cohort Program
that will be starting here in Vancouver in the spring of next year (2004).
If you are curious about whether this may be a “fit” for you please bring your
questions. We will likely all go out for dinner afterwards!
