Introduction

The primary task of the participants of an ORGLAB is to explore the behaviour and events associated
with the development and design of professional roles as well as networked social systems in order to
learn from this for their own business and project practice.

• To a certain extent, the experience and behaviour in the learning groups provides the learning material,
which is supported by the consultants (“staff"). In this way the learning groups and counsellors form a
kind of social laboratory, which makes ORGLAB a method of learning by experience.

• The ORGLAB promotes the integration of intellectual and emotional intelligence and can thus
encourage managers and employees to recognize and liberate their creative and visionary capacities.

• The experience in ORGLAB-Settings makes working with conscious and unconscious dynamics more
tangible in terms of leadership and management within fast moving and networked organizations.

• The design was developed by the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations (TIHR, London), a
collaborative partner of Oezpa.

Issues

An ORGLAB differs from other learning formats. The
study of unconscious dynamics of individuals in
groups and groups in social systems makes it
possible to investigate relevant tensions, internal or
social conflicts, inhibitions, but also aspirations,
values and hopes that exist beneath the surface of
observable daily work.

In a framework protected and guided by professional counsellors, participants can work through essential
undercurrents, thus leading to their own way and working together to give others quality and depth, to
improve them and to take more ownership in the context of the groups' objectives or the organizations for
which they work

Concepts

An oezpa ORGLAB provides you with inspiration and new perspectives
to bring about lasting change in the life of your organization. It also
offers the development of potential of the organization and its members.
Are you curious and looking for new experiences that make a
difference?
This learning format helps you learn through leadership and
collaboration, rather than about leadership and collaboration.

The primary mission of ORGLAB is to experience the behaviour and
events associated with the development and design of professional
roles and systems in order to learn from them. The ORGLAB offers
possibilities to consciously vary your own role behaviour in order to
break familiar habits and patterns of behaviour and leave your own
comfort zones. This, in turn, is essential for personal and group
dynamic openings to the unknown as well as to innovation and
questions on issues such as leadership and collaboration.

"I would particularly like to emphasize
the systemic view that permeates many
of the oezpa seminars I attend.
Meanwhile, the systemic approach is
firmly in my everyday life. My way of
thinking has become different. I always
find it exciting to look at things from
different perspectives. In the sense:
Thanks to oezpa and to the whole
team.“
Nico Bemtgen, Administrative Director,
Stefftung Hellef Doheem

"Attending two Orglabs has more than
expanded my understanding and
perspective. Oezpa has provided
important food for thought about my
individual personal development. Both
professionally and personally, I benefit
greatly from it.“
Christian Pfeiffer, Rehabilitation
Manager, Unfallkasse Rheinland-Pfalz

Methodology

The ORGLAB is designed to provide learning opportunities for leadership, collaboration and taking
responsibility. Developing new as well as familiar roles, understanding and reflecting on them within
different learning settings, should help to enhance the understanding of one's own organizational
work and role design.

• The ORGLAB provides varying structures and tasks, focusing on the need for participants to
understand their own and other participants' roles in the context of this temporary organization. Such
understanding involves a disciplined attention to one's own experience and the experience of others.

• In this 'temporary learning organization' the participants learn above all through experience and
reflection on their experiences. The consultant system ("Staff") supports learning by providing clear
structures in terms of time and space, as well as their role as reflection partners and "mirrors" of
events.

• The learning success during and after participation is based on continuous effort, mental presence
and the intrinsic desire to learn.
