WHAT IS A REQUISITE ENTERPRISE?

In a nutshell, it means work gets done without fuss by people who look forward to doing it in an enterprise that is working towards being sustainable. Three basic measures of an enterprise’s success are whether it achieves its goals, whether its employees find fulfilment in working there and that it does no harm. Requisite Enterprise (RE) provides the principles of organisational design as well as the knowledge and skill required by leaders to create a workplace that enables people to achieve organisational goals.

Our approach is based on the work known as Requisite Organization as it is a systems approach based on Complex Adaptive Systems theory. The fundamental tenants rest on pragmatic, integrated systems and behaviors that continually build and reinforce trust. Pioneered by the late Dr. Elliott Jaques – psychiatrist, medical doctor and social scientist, these ideas have spread worldwide over 60 years. His original thinking was shaped and enhanced by many eminent thinkers from multi-disciplinary backgrounds.

Integrated with the Requisite Organization concepts are the thinking from a number of other organisational thinkers, past and present, all of which result in creating a workplace of fairness and trust that allow people to use their capability to deliver for the enterprise. This overall integration is what we call Requisite Enterprise – RE.

We acknowledge and stand on the shoulders of many great pioneers and thinkers and as well as the learning received and given by our long term clients. We have extended the application into the important area of assisting enterprises that seek to develop as a truly sustainable entity.

Read on to learn about how we make these principles come to life in your organisation and for you.

      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 How often do you hear these words?
