History

Bioss was founded in 1967 by Elliott Jaques, a Canadian psychoanalyst who moved to the UK during World War II to become a founding member of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in London.[1] Soon after the war he began a thirty-year working relationship with Wilfred Brown, the managing director of a British engineering company called Glacier Metal, and Minister of State for the Board of Trade in the UK from 1965 to 1970. Jaques and Brown were members of a postwar generation that was looking again at the relationships between society, production and employees. In his book [https://books.google.com/books?id=SDzDYfjp0_sC&lpg=PA251&ots=qT-Bx8lCGt&dq=the%20most%20extensive%20study%20of%20actual%20worker%20behavior%20in%20large-scale%20industry&pg=PA251#v=onepage&q&f=false People and Performance], Peter Drucker described the combination of their empirical research and original thinking as "the most extensive study of actual worker behavior in large-scale industry."

When Brown became Pro-Chancellor of Brunel University in 1965, he encouraged the University to set up a School of Social Sciences, and Elliott Jaques became its Head. The Brunel Institute of Organisation and Social Studies (Bioss) was set up within the School as a self-financing research and consultancy unit with Jaques as its Director.[2]

Gillian Stamp[3] joined Bioss in 1974, collaborating with John Isaac (a lecturer in mathematics and physics at Brunel) to develop his theory of a matrix of levels of complexity and Jaques's theory into a practical procedure for evaluating capability called Career Path Appreciation.[4] In South Africa, Career Path Appreciation was used well before the change of regime to evaluate the potential of black men and women and to support their development.[5][6]

Since leaving the Brunel campus in 1999, Bioss has evolved into a global network of consultancies with a presence in twenty countries.[7]
