Addiction and the Organisation
Addiction can be viewed as a stuck pattern of behaviour driven by short term attractions, but having longer term consequences that are harmful. As the recent banking crisis has demonstrated, organisations can fall prey to this trap. But is there a prospect for recovery? Will organisations be able to change in time, or will the hunger for short-term profit end up costing the earth? 

In London on Saturday July 10th, organized by OPUS (www.opus.org.uk). For further details,
