Organetics®
Theoretical Background
(Also see L.E.P. Theoretical Background)
One cornerstone of Sabetti's therapeutic and consulting work is his energy viewpoint which suggests that measurable energy vibrations exist in every living creature, as well as in any organization. These vibrations may be harmonious, or show disturbances, which may appear as a decline in sales, financial losses, default of delivery, deterioration in quality, poor working conditions etc. In this respect, each problem is a disturbance of the energy flow. This energy viewpoint results in clarity, simplicity and the chance to reach beyond the symptom level to the roots of any disorder.
In the 1980's Stèphano Sabetti developed Organetics as a form of Life Energy Process (L.E.P.) to explore the use of energy dynamics in organizations.
Organetics regards organizations as integrated systems or entities which are extensions of human existence, as are family systems and other groups in the conventional sense.
Considering entire systems, their dependencies and mutual relations, Organetics focuses on the dynamics of these systems and on the interactions between the various "organs" of the organ-izaton. The key to the Organetics approach is the focus on processes.
Organetics is compatible with different management techniques and may be regarded as the common denominator for all of these approaches and methods. By comprehending the energy dynamics in the specific organization, it is possible to employ the various working techniques and methods in a more complete context.
With the concept of Wholearchy®(holos, GK. whole and archy GK. role power), Organetics suggests an alternative form of organization to networks and hierarchies. Wholearchy is defined essentially by energy processes. Thus the optimal energy flow for the specific organization is recognized and promoted, and any "unconscious" energy leaks and blockages may be recognized.
In such a wholearchic organization, communication flows from within to without, as well as the other way, from the periphery to the core or center. Unlike a hierarchic organization, in this case mangement is not "on top"/at the head, but at the core or center. In a wholearchy the organizational structure stays flexible and adaptable, without losing focus on common issues or personal responsibility. As all members are connected to the center and with each other, they remain in resonance by interaction (flow of ideas, information and communication), and so deficiencies become apparent directly and quickly.
As in physics, Organetics regards every firm as an energy field in which the flow of communication, money and material constitutes important factors of influence. The concept of energy consultation and dynamics within organizations is also able to be experienced and realized by the individual in his/her daily and professional life. It makes the activity in organizations transparent as manifestations of human existence.
Entire organizations, enterprises, companies and family systems are not able to survive without the process of change. When existing structures are dissolved and they offer less clear orientation and a feeling of security to employees/members often results from Organetics viewpoint, mastery of chaos and finding and maintaining orientation within chaos are parts of the process of healthy change.
The idea of systemic integrity in Organetics is an excellent tool for determining an essential diagnosis and for suggesting quick solutions during organizational transformation processes. It serves as a connecting link for dynamic effects within and outside of systems, organizations and enterprises. Systemic intergrity helps to realize how future development may be integrated into the daily life of the organization.
