| Overview |
The SYMLOG ( SYstematic Multiple Level Observation of Groups) system brings together key elements of numerous behavioral theories into one concise instrument. The method provides a comprehensive way to analyze and improve social interaction systems on either the individual, group, or organizational level. This workshop focuses on the theory of Dr. Robert F. Bales and on practical ways to understand: individual differences, group dynamics, organizational processes, person/position fit, and the influences of organizational culture on management needs. It puts into the hands of organization development consultants a powerful tool for systematic data collection, analysis, and feedback. |
