Logic of feeling in organisational development

  • How do we optimise the use of available capacities?

  • How do we see new possibilities for development?

  • How do we get more out off our change efforts?

  • How do we get meaningful results?

  • How can an external consultant or facilitator contribute to effective collaboration in dealing with complex issues?

This site gives you an answer to these questions, derived from my own quest for logic as a consultant. I developed a theory, a logic, which provides a framework to order the world of consultancy (concepts, methods, models) and which can be of help in development of organisations and networks: the logic of will, discipline and communication. This theory builds further on the knowledge theory of Arnold Cornelis, the logic of communicative self-steering.

Vision on organisational development

This logic has consequences for my view on consultancy, see logic and consultancy and for my services and projects, Also it has consequences for my approach, methods and tools. To put theory into action: a significant part of this site consists of a workbook.
