Beyond Dispute: The Invention of Team Syntegrity

Beyond Dispute: The Invention of Team Syntegrity

The aim of the book is to provide managers and their advisors with a new planning method that captures the native genius of the organization in a non-political and non-hierarchical way. The book includes an enquiry into Beers concept of recursive consciousness, based on this model, that is relevant to both neurocybernetics and the social systems sciences.
