Group Relations conferences offer opportunities to learn about
group, organisational and social dynamics; the exercise of
authority and power; the interplay between tradition, innovation
and change; and the relationship of organisations to their social,
political and economic environments. This book, the fifth in a
series of Tavistock Group Relations Conferences, contains a
collection of papers presented at the fifth Belgirate conference,
plus three additional papers reflecting on and making sense of
several participants' conference experiences. Taken together, these
chapters study the discourse of Group Relations conferences as well
as reflecting on the changing nature and shifting patterns of this
discourse. In Doing the Business of Group Relations Conferences,
authors reflect on the vicissitudes of meanings this expression
generates.

This book, the third of its kind, is a compilation of chapters
based on presentations at the third Group Relations international
meeting in Belgirate, Italy during November 2009, plus a number of
think pieces from participants reflecting on their experience of
the meeting. The book takes yet another step in continuing the
discourse, which began in 2003, articulating the relevance of the
Group Relations conference method and the timeliness of its
application globally. The chapters in the book deal with the
personal as well as the organizational journeys of Group Relations
practitioners and examine those through the lenses of tradition,
succession and creative application. The authors are experienced GR
practitioners internationally and together they enrich further the
tapestry of Group Relations model and its application and
potential.
The notion of identity of an organization or an enterprise answers
the questions who are we? or what do we want to be? The
contributors to this volume assume that these two sets of images
and definitions the internal ones and the external ones are
reciprocally influencing each other, both consciously and
unconsciously, and are thus related to the formation and
development of the organizational identity. This identity is a
dynamic process that evolves and devolves over time and can be a
source of some stability and coherence for those who depend on it.
It is defined and perceived by its management and members
influences continuously its decisions both in the short and in the
long run. It is therefore a heuristic concept like a primary task
that serves as a compass for structuring, designing, managing and
planning for the future."
