An introduction to Organisational Transactional Analysis
2-day workshop | 28th-29th November | James Longwell | Online
Book Now CPD NewsletterThis event is for those who have completed a TA101 and are curious about understanding more about TA as applied to organisations
Building upon the introductory knowledge provided in the TA101, participants will be introduced to six core ideas from Organisational TA. This CPD can stand alone or be the pre-cursor to embarking on a longer Organisational TA programme.
The six concepts covered:
1. Individuals, Groups (Teams) & Systems - using TA as a map to navigate these layers in an organisation
2. The TA idea of Role Theory from Bernd Schmid’s award winning work - this builds upon the foundational TA concept of Ego States
3. Applying Functional Fluency to leadership and organisations - building upon Susannah Temple’s - which also won the Eric Berne Memorial Award
4. Eric Berne’s idea of Public Structure & Group Forces - one of his two ways of looking at groups (teams) in organisations. And the difference between a Group and a Team in TA.
5. & the second Berne group idea - Imago or Private Structure and its links (or not) to Tuckman’s team development model
6. The TA ideas of Discounting & Accounting applied within organisations

Why would someone want to do this course/workshop?
Think about the session as a taster in Organisational TA. Participants will be introduced to six topics that highlight TA thinking applied to organisations of any type. Participants will be introduced to practical ideas that they will first apply to themselves & their context and begin to form ideas about how they might apply these in their own work. There will be practical activities and plenty of opportunity for exploration, discussion and reflection. This 2 day CPD can stand alone or could be a pre-cursor to further TA development in the Organisational field.
Who is this event for?
- Leaders
- Managers
- HR professionals
- Learning & Development professionals
- Organisation Consultants
- Coaches
- Anyone interested in adding organisational applications to their existing work e.g. counsellors & psychotherapists
