The Program
Our program is designed by you. Your feedback at the end of 2023 made it very clear that you wanted to increase your understanding and skills in all aspect of organisational development – including strategic thinking, managing conflict, effective meetings, continuous feedback, influencing and persuasion. In addition, you wanted the opportunity to learn together, to find solidarity in tackling common challenges and to share collective wisdom.
Our program is drawn directly from your feedback:
- Organisation Development Modules x 5 (90 mins)
- Peer Learning Groups x 2 (90 mins)
- Buddy Pairs x 6 (40 mins x every three weeks)
The idea of this program is to provide you with three unique co-learning spaces – OD modules, Peer Learning Groups and Buddy Pairs. All three spaces allow you to work through your current work challenges drawing on the power of collaboration and collective wisdom.
This approach is a complete departure from the traditional “inform” style workshops. With us, you are an active agent in the direction and focus of these spaces. In the application survey, you have helped us decide on the OD modules by indicating the subjects that have most value and meaning for you. And in the Peer Learning Groups, it is you who decides the topics of discussion, one person in the group presents a challenge for you all to explore and come away with concrete, practical actions. The Buddy Pairs are a powerful, intimate space for one-to-one collaboration and problem solving. We give you the process guidelines, you bring whatever matters to you.
Each of these highly interactive spaces serve to increase your awareness and generate new perspectives and this leads to new choices as well as breakthroughs in how you see yourself in your work. Underlying the co-learning model is an incredible sense of belonging, solidarity and camaraderie.
