Abstract
This paper contains a report from a study of how individual humans exploit their competence in group work during a workshop. The intention of the study was to know how well groups of workshop participants would apply to the theories of living systems and of organization science about gatekeepers and the organizational structure mentioned by H. Minzberg (Minzberg 1983). The workshop population characteristics and its program procedure are described. A method for the study is created. The method builds on a graphical model of living systems theory. An attempt to test the method is carried out by studying the behavior of workshop groups.
