Tavistock model

The Tavistock model is a framework used to understand how groups, organizations, or societies function through the interplay of three core elements: task (the work or goal), process (the way people interact and communicate), and structure (the formal roles and hierarchy). It emphasizes that these components influence each other; for a system to be effective, all three must be aligned and balanced. Developed from psychoanalytic insights, the model helps identify underlying issues in teamwork or organization dynamics, promoting healthier collaboration and adaptability by examining how these elements shape behavior and performance.
