Our Influences

The Working Journey brings together the idea of pre-eminent thinkers in organisational design, leadership and human development to create a unique body of work and model we call Requisite Enterprise.

 

 

Dr.Elliott Jaques

Jaques was originally a phychiatrist and later management theorist and consultant who developed, over a lifetime of work, the model he coined ‘Requisite Organization’.  Put simply, this means an organisation designed according to what is required due to the nature of work and people.  His focus was on the structures, leadership practices and capability required to allow people to perform at their best in an environment that induced trust, and we use this underlying philosophy as well as the key notions of complexity and capability that form the basis of his work.

Dr. Gillian Stamp

We use the deep knowledge and understanding that her work provides into human potential through using the very methods to appreciate human capability that are still under ongoing development today.

Susanne Cook-Greuter

We use the work of Cook-Greuter to aid clients in self-understanding so their innate capability and knowledge is not lost, as well as in assisting teams to ‘rise up’ to later stages of development instead of being ‘dragged down’.

Dr. Ichak Adizes

We use the work of Dr Adizes to help clients understand the context of what their organisation is going through and to help them see the necessary changes in themselves and the organisation that will be required.

Peter Block

We use his work to show leaders how to ‘share the burden’ of accountability while staff ensuring decisions are made, and to help people with what is meant to truly be accountable in the workplace.

Clare Graves, Don Beck & Chris Cowan (Spiral Dynamics)

We use these ideas to help clients with the cultural development in both themselves and their organisation, as well as to ensure interventions and change are effective in advancing the interests of the enterprise.

Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt

We use the work of Goldratt to help clients to understand their work as a full system and to allow those involved in work systems to truly work together.

    • The Purpose of Life is deceptively simple…
      by Andrew Olivier on January 24, 2022 at 1:20 pm

      Most struggle to answer the question what is the purpose of our life. The answer is actually simple – it’s to actualise ourselves. Fully. That is it. Deceptively simple. Our work with capability and that of the writings of many others, substantiate the view we are all born with a desire to fulfill our highest…Read more The Purpose of Life is deceptively simple… The post The Purpose of Life is deceptively simple… first appeared on Andrew Olivier's Blog.

    • Scaled Systems Leadership
      by Andrew Olivier on September 20, 2020 at 9:50 pm

      Network and Ecosystem Leadership Is it possible to organise complex ecosystems to achieve a shared purpose?  Indeed is it possible to organise something which by nature is emergent, uncertain and comprised up of autonomous and semi-autonomous parts? Often with powerful agents? Are there clear guidelines that might help? Before addressing the two case studies of…Read more Scaled Systems Leadership The post Scaled Systems Leadership first appeared on Andrew Olivier's Blog.

    • Doing Good is Good Business
      by Andrew Olivier on May 25, 2019 at 6:33 am

      Doing Good is good business How often do you hear these words? I had an interesting meeting with the sustainability team at Pick n Pay in  Rondebosch, Cape Town.  I listened intently to what they were doing across a broad range of fronts; from making the company compliant with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs),…Read more Doing Good is Good Business The post Doing Good is Good Business first appeared on Andrew Olivier's Blog.
