Organizational Mapping

Dave Smith and Steve Smith

Organizational mapping is an adaptation of Virginia Satir's approach to family system sculpting. It's a powerful technique that can be used in several situations:

• to help an organization understand and diagnose its own interpersonal or intergroup dynamics
• to help a group from similar organizations understand typical dynamics
• to help a group understand the dynamics of its relationship to outside groups
• to provide consultation in a training context to a consultant engaged in a change effort with a client system.

In this session, we'll learn the technique by giving each person a chance to map an organization of interest, with consulting from other participants.
