Lift your story to the next level (Jacques Chlopczyk)

, , , , , , , , , ,

What is it that you want to bring alive in your work? In this workshop you are invited to work on your story, dig deeper and lift it to the next level. A good story inspires heads, hands and hearts. A great story is connected to our dreams and hopes and speaks to issues and topics in the wider world. It is authentic and purposeful. It extends an invitation and makes ideas concrete and actionable.

These elements are part of a powerful story framework that we are going to explore in this session. After a short introduction we will revisit your personal backstory. With the gems and inspiration found there, we will travel to the future you want to create – constructing the building blocks for your story along the way. The session closes with a story circle in which you share your story, gather feedback and partake in the stories of your colleagues.

The Change Journey – a concept to facilitate complex change processes (Holger Nauheimer)

, , ,

The Change Journey is a radical approach to change. It is based on the paradigm that change in organizations is not a linear path from A to B. As many of us experience, what happens in a change process is largely unpredictable. Our Change Journey Map then helps you to navigate through uncertainty. This Map is inclusive – which means whatever tools and models you are used to can be incorporated. For all of you who are involved in a change process – we invite you to become a fellow traveller! This is a journey – not a blueprint. Organizations and individuals can only master change processes when they are ready to find their own path. The journey then is constructed from something we already know as well as from that which is unknown.

The journey teaches us. Many organizations and legions of management consultants fail to implement sustainable change: they design the process around the tool or model they want to apply. We turn that principle around and encourage leaders to design their specific change model according to the needs that emerge in the change process. With the Change Journey Map, we offer a meta model which can accommodate your own methodologies, tools and models. It is a catalyst for dialogue and exploration of different perspectives. Through common thinking, teams are enabled to co-create sustainable actions.

Place and space as key elements of organisational change (Douglas Gilbert)

, , , , ,

The impact physical and virtual surroundings on organisational culture have been clearly documented by major research studies. Place and space, both physical and virtual, can foster or disable change. The elements of place and space must be coupled with other aspects of change such as organisational structure, processes, and technology.

This workshop explores the critical need to consider place and space when designing the desired outcomes for change. Examples will be provided from leading organisations to demonstrate the effective use of place and space to support and foster change. Participants will also be provided with a design kit of suggested place / space design techniques for change suggested by leading design thinking practitioners.

As You Open Your Eyes: The story of a shared dream (Marlou de Rouw)

, , , , , , , , ,

As You Open Your Eyes invites you to the homes and places of communities the world over. We will be the guests of people who have found a way to overcome sometimes life threatening challenges.

During the workshop we will watch and discuss one episode in a series of beautiful, touching and inspiring documentaries where, in 30 minutes, communities tell their own story of change. Each of the six communities in the series has a compelling story to tell. They are spread around the world, and the challenges they face are as diverse as their cultures, societies and economies. Each episode in the series tells one of these stories, including the essence of the different stages, emotions, difficulties and creative solutions encountered along the way.

During the workshop we will explore what we learn from a community that may seem very different to the groups or teams to which we belong. Interactive reflections will make us realise that we can do it too!

Participants will not leave the room before they will have established their own small feasible action plan towards a change in their very own community, team or workplace.

Ice-Breaker (Nathan Bragg)

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Never underestimate the power of creative play and “goofing off”. The games in this set are the jumping off point for all the deeper questions to be asked in Nathan Bragg’s Image Theatre workshops. This is a cornerstone.

This workshop will:

  • playfully exercise creative muscles
  • raise awareness that images are inherent to all communication
  • encourage a new form of deep listening
  • begin to illustrate the effectiveness of communicating through images we create with our bodies and/or objects.
