Organisations as living systems and the power of interconnection
3CO01 – Business, culture and change in context
This CIPD Level 3 video explores unit 3CO01 – Business, culture and change in context – focusing on how organisations function as interconnected living systems rather than isolated departments. Drawing on organisational design models and systems theory, it demonstrates the importance of synergy and interdependence across structures and practices, examining how people professionals' decisions ripple through the organisation. By understanding organisations as whole systems and recognising the impact of interconnected practices on strategies and procedures, you'll develop the holistic perspective needed to meet assessment criteria AC 2.2 and make informed, strategic HR decisions.
