Pedigree Petfoods project

The Pedigree Petfoods project was an organisational design project undertaken within a socio-technical framework by Eric Miller and Gordon Lawrence on behalf of the Tavistock Institute. The objective of the project was the design and implementation of a work organisation at the new Peterborough plant of the company, and the development of a philosophy of management consistent with new and changing values in industry and society. The Tavistock representatives also took on a role in the induction and training of new members of staff. Much of the consultation work by the Institute was conducted through meetings with a steering group consisting of members of Pedigree Petfoods. Includes contractual and project correspondence, organisational charts, consultative memorandi, notes on meetings of the project planning group, field notes, notes on experience and the process, copy of document CASR 1063 'Working Note One: Organisation for Task: A Conceptual Framework', working note on management development,
