Call for participation for a workshop with Prof.<\/abbr> Kathleen Sutcliffe (John Hopkins University):
\n\u201cDeveloping Resilience – Sustained performance under risk and dynamic conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n

Developing Resilience – Sustained performance under risk and dynamic conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The half-day workshop takes place on Thursday, 28 November 2019 at Helmut Schmidt University Hamburg
\nParticipants are asked to submit a statement of interest relating to their research until 15 October 2019.<\/p>\n

What exactly are we referring to when we talk about resilience, mindfulness, change and
\ntrusted leadership in organizational theory? What role do organizational environments and
\norganizational information processing play for safety, efficiency and sustainability? In what
\nways does and does not \u201cManaging the Unexpected\u201d tie in with trajectories of social theory?
\nWe seek to explore these and further related questions through engaging with the work of
\nKathleen Sutcliffe.
\nSutcliffe makes an instructive contribution to organizational theory by developing a socially
\nembedded model of organizational learning that includes affective foundations and various
\naspects of an actively lived culture as important factors of continuous performance and success.
\nTherefore, she discusses the ways and modes of enabling, enacting, and elaborating a culture
\nof mindfulness, resilience and safety. In her research she developed a concept of organizing as
\nan integrative framework that is focused around key themes of both crisis and resilience,
\nincluding capabilities for durability, organizing and adjusting, responding to major disturbances,
\nand a feedback loop from these experiences. By accentuating the qualitative, so far neglected
\nforces and influences become visible, e.g. that today’s complex information often isn’t precise
\nand that it’s not the accuracy and abundance of information that should matter most to top
\nexecutives – rather, it’s how that information is interpreted.
\nWe would like to explore the various strains and issues of Sutcliffe\u2019s work by engaging with key
\ntexts that present and discuss the respective arguments during a half-day-workshop. Our
\ndiscussions will be guided by the participants\u2019 particular interests in Sutcliffe\u2019s thinking, as it
\nbecomes relevant in their own research. The workshop is rounded off with a concluding
\nreflection that traces the intriguing manner of Sutcliffe\u2019s work.
\nParticipation is possible either actively or passively. Active participants will have the
\nopportunity to discuss aspects of their own work with Kathleen Sutcliffe and the group. For
\nactive participation, please send a short statement of interest (max. 400 words in total)
\nreferring to your research project that will be provided to all participants in advance. For
\npassive participation inform us about your willingness to attend. Please submit your statement
\nof interest by October 15, 2019.
\nKathleen Sutcliffe is a Bloomberg Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Business at the John
\nHopkins University\/Carey Business School and School of Medicine and Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker
\nProfessor Emerita of Business Administration at the University of Michigan\/Ross School of
\nBusiness. She wrote numerous articles and books on different areas of organizing under
\nuncertainty and ambiguity, sensemaking and team dynamics as well as more recently on
\norganizational safety and risk in oil exploration and production, wildland firefighting, and in
\nhealthcare.<\/p>\n
