Focus and Vision
We believe that individuals and organisations should develop a
new capacity, the capacity to become aware, to become mindful of
their inner and outer world and thus to more fully understand and
act to create what they truly desire.
Our vision is: Personal and organisational creativity through
developing the capacity of mindfulness.
The focus of our research is the study of the nature of social
systems and the conditions of developing mindfulness at personal and
organisational level.
2M Research aims at
delivering contributions to theory and practice in three
organisational domains: Knowledge, Innovation and Learning (KIL).
The KIL (Knowledge,
Innovation and Learning) perspective is outlined below:
•Knowledge
creation and management. This relates to the study of nature of
cognition and the development of practices for enhancing the
cognitive capability at individual/organisational level.
•Organisational
Innovation, i.e. embodying new knowledge
into organisational routines.
•Individual/Organisational
Learning. While Knowledge creation is
about making sense of reality and organisational Innovation is about
implementing knowledge into practice, organisational Learning
requires a continuous cycle of knowledge creation and
implementation.
Contributing Areas of Human Knowledge
Thus, our objectives are to develop research and contribute to
thinking and practice in the following area:
1. The nature of humans and
social organisations (theory of autopoiesis, enactive cognitive
science) |
| 2. Opportunities and limitations of observation - (second- order
cybernetics, second-orderjunderstanding,
chaos theory) |
| |
| 3. Knowing and modelling of
social systems (systems thinking, system dynamics, non-linear
dynamics, chaos theory, self-organising systems) |
| 4. Communication and
dialogue (David Bohm, Buber,etc.) |
| 5. Awareness, Creativity
and Personal Mastery (David Bolm, Otto Sharmer, Brian Arthur, etc.) |
