SUMMARY:IGSPO - The Nature of the Unconscious in Organisational Life - 14 May 2026
DESCRIPTION:Interest Group System Psychodynamics of Organisations presents... \nThe Nature of the Unconscious in Organisational Life \nThis half‑day workshop explores how anxiety\, defences\, and unconscious processes shape behaviour in organisations. Building on the foundations introduced in Workshop 1- while remaining fully accessible to new participants. The content integrates the iceberg model\, CIBART\, systems thinking\, psychodynamic theory\, and emerging neuroscience. \nThe workshop examines how unconscious dynamics operate at personal\, relational\, and collective levels. Participants will deepen their understanding of how these forces influence roles\, teams\, and organisational systems\, often in ways that remain unspoken yet profoundly impactful. \nWORKSHOP BENEFITS \n\nGain a richer understanding of how childhood roles\, early anxieties\, and defensive patterns shape adult behaviour and workplace dynamics.\nStrengthen their ability to recognise and work with unconscious processes that influence organisational life.\nEnhance their capacity to articulate and intervene in what is happening “beneath the surface of consciousness” in consulting\, coaching\, leadership\, and OD practice.\n\nEVENT INFORMATION \n\nDATE: 14 May 2026\nTIME:  13h00 - 17h00\nLOCATION: Zoom Online\nCPD: 3 Clinical CEU\, 1 Ethical\n\nWORKSHOP FACILITATORS \n\nInette Taylor\n\nOver her career she attended a vast number of professional training and accreditation courses in trauma intervention\, hypnotherapy\, psychological assessment techniques\, psychotherapeutic interventions\, couple counselling\, neuropsychological assessment training\, BWRT and others. She presented/co-presented on numerous occasions at psychological societies in South Africa and worked as Consultant in several Group Relations events (in-person and online since 2019). She has provided psychological services as an HPCSA accredited CPD provider in various capacities. Inette provides psychotherapy\, company assessments\, coaching\, neurofeedback and other psychological services for companies\, individual clients\, work teams\, and couples. \n\nDr Neville Goldin\n\nNeville is a certified Tavistock executive coach\, specializing in the systems psychodynamic method of coaching. Neville’s focus in coaching is on helping leaders achieve their potential in a real and authentic way and his special interest is in assisting leaders with career shifts and transitions (moving into\, up and through an organisation). \nWhile Neville’s approach to executive coaching is eclectic and based on the needs of each client\, he favours what is called the systems psychodynamic approach to coaching which essentially means working with the entire system and working below the surface. We try to understand the role the person plays in the organisation and the dynamic interplay between the individual leader or manager\, his/her role and the organizational context in which they work\, at both an obvious and a hidden level. The purpose is to forge new meanings and understandings and achieve greater clarity about oneself\, one’s work and the organisation. This new understanding\, if applied and practised\, translates into more authentic interactions and greater effectiveness in one’s role\, benefitting both the individual and the organisation. \n\nProf. Frans Cilliers\n\nWith a long history in academia and writing\, Prof. Cilliers is currently an Emeritus Professor at UNISA\, where he continues to teach and mentor postgraduate students at the master's and doctoral levels. He gives lectures at other South African universities as well. The Interest Group on Systems Psychodynamics of Organisations was founded by Prof. Cilliers. In addition\, he belongs to and is associated with a number of international organisations. \n

SUMMARY:Academy - Designing Fit-For-Purpose Organisations For A Different Future - 10 September 2026
DESCRIPTION:SIOPSA Academy presents... \nDesigning Fit-For-Purpose Organisations For A Different Future \nThe way organisations are designed – its Operating Model – has a profound effect not only on the organisation’ ability to execute its strategy successfully\, but also on its optimal resource deployment and utilisation\, the efficiency of its mode of working\, the conduciveness of its culture and dynamics\, consequently on its overall performance. And\, ultimately on its continued viability. An organisation can indeed compete by its design. The new world of work requires organisations to re-examine their existing designs from first principles in a zero-based way. \nThis one-day Workshop aims to capacitate participants with a high-level understanding of the what\, why\, how\, who and whereto of organisational design. The Workshop is based on the latest thinking and practices regarding OD\, and the extensive practical experience of Prof. Theo Veldsman – the workshop facilitator – gained from close on 60 OD consulting assignments over about 35 years across multiple industries\, nationally and internationally. The Workshop also makes extensive use of case studies to illustrate OD-in-action. \nAfter attending\, delegates will have gained deep insight into OD as a critical organisational discipline and key executive leadership task.

SUMMARY:Academy - People Excellence To Gain A Competitive Edge In A Disruptive Innovative World - 17 September 2026
DESCRIPTION:SIOPSA Academy presents... \nPeople Excellence To Gain A Competitive Edge In A Disruptive Innovative World \nIn the current disruptive innovative\, ideas-experience-based world\, people are the only true value unlockers and wealth creators in organisations. Why? Because this world is fuelled by the power of people’s imagination\, creativity\, and ingenuity. Concurrently\, the war for talent has shifted from not merely attracting people (the hard talent war) to providing (hyper-) personalised\, purpose-driven\, meaningful work experiences of thriving\, and hence personal fulfilment\, for people (the soft talent war). \nPeople have become central to the continued viability of organisational performance and success in the present and future. Organisations must be great at making their people thrive. Their people are the best they can\, and want to be. People Excellence has become a strategic imperative for organisations. Strategically knowing the state of an organisation’s People Excellence – its “people creditworthiness” – has become mission-critical for every organisation\, in the present and future. \nThe purpose of this one-day Workshop is to enable participants to conduct a strategic organisational stress test of the people creditworthiness of their organisations\, indicative of its People Excellence. The application of this stress test will assist in the identification of strategic people interventions to bring about People Excellence in their organisations. The interventions will create the organisational conditions under which people will be able to flourish and thrive\, and consequently feel fulfilled in their organisations. In this way\, an organisation will win the soft talent war. \nThis Workshop Benefits are... \n\nStrategically frame and position People Excellence in the new world of work\nExposure to the best thought-leadership\, latest research\, and cutting-edge practices regarding People Excellence\nUnderstand how to diagnose in an integrated\, systemic manner the People Excellence of an organisation\, its people creditworthiness\nBe capacitated to enable the unleashing the synergistic fusion of lasting People Excellence within their organisation\n\nWho Should Attend \n\nIndustrial and Organisational Psychologists and People Professionals who work in the Organisational and People Effectiveness/Development Domains with at least 3 years of experience.\n\nEVENT DETAILS \n\nDATE: 15 October 2026\nTIME: 09h00 - 17h00\nCPD:  8 Clinical CEU\n\n FACILITATED BY \n\nProf. Theo Veldsman
