Post-organisation: Rethinking a Ceremonial Fraternal Society

This portfolio examines the application of post-organisation to create “organisations” that function without being constituted or formalised as an existential body. An exemplar was established as a ceremonial fraternal society designed on modern organisational trends of networks, knowledge and projects. Reactions to innovative changes unavoidably made to the fraternal Warrant were used to test and model whether its purpose was necessarily bound to the presence of an organisational entity. These features are used as a new contribution to organisational theory separate to other contemporary approaches that describe the properties of post-organisation.
