Fundamental to enterprise resilience and sustainability are their inherent governance and structures. These will vary according to the enterprise; its strategy, culture, scale and governance structure (commercial, Not-for-profit, government, etc.). Not only does an enterprise require a relevant and effective method of governance, an appropriate variety of process, procedures, skills and competences are also essential. This module introduces additional ways of thinking (including Morgan’s Images of Organisation, and Emery and Trist’s Causal texture) together with the application of selected methods and tools relevant to enterprise organisation
