The PC is not a thing. It’s an organic phenomenon like a river, it flows. It constantly adapts to underlying technology changes, user demands, even market surprises.
Andy Grove, Chairman and CEO of Intel
Humanity is part of nature. The more closely we identify ourselves with it , the more quickly we will be able to discover the sources of human sensibility and acquire the knowledge on which an enduring ethic and a sense of preferred direction can be built.
Dr. Edward Wilson, Professor of Science at Harvard University
Eco Org Mapping™ is a unique learning technology that draws insights from growth patterns in nature through the integration of three powerful techniques (1) the technique of free association, (2) experiential learning, and (3) the technique of unstructured principles derivation(UPD) (details are in the methodology section) . Eco Org Mapping™ was developed on the belief that the natural world and the man-made world operates according to similar principles and that many solutions to organisational problems can be found in the natural world.
The major thrust of the workshop is to stimulate & provoke participants to develop their own set of managerial and organisational principles derived from their observation of the growth patterns in nature (as opposed to teaching them a set of given principles.) These principles will centre on the theme of enhancing performance at 3 levels : personal, interpersonal and organisational performance.
Eco Org Mapping™ is unique, provocative, and counter-intuitive. It is differentiated from all other traditional teaching & training in that it moves from the unstructured to the structured; from what initially appears to be non-sense to making lots of sense at the end. Eco Mapping™ integrates three powerful proven learning techniques: (1) the technique of free association – Participants are exposed to the natural world , they make their observations, find correlations between the natural world and their organisations, and derive principles that apply to themselves, others and the organisation. (2) experiential learning – Participants are taken into virgin rainforest and rivers in which all five senses of the participants are stimulated to maximise and accelerate their learning. (3) the technique of unstructured principles derivation – No models, principles, frameworks are introduced to the participants. They have to do their own search in the world of nature and derive the principles for themselves. When learning comes from themselves, there is greater internalization and ownership.
