The mission of CSGSS is to further the understanding of groups and organizations as social systems, with particular attention to unconscious and covert group processes in groups and organizational life, the dynamics of authority and authorization, power and other differences within and among socially diverse groups and the use of negotiated interpretation to facilitate  collaborative learning.

Using the Tavistock group relations tradition of open systems and psychodynamic theories, CSGSS  develops group relations conferences, meetings, and other events to further learning about group processes.
