Theory U as a change catalyzer (Barbara Zuber)

, , , , , , , , , ,

Experience Theory U by Otto Scharmer, MIT as a tool in an interactive setting to deeply understand its implications and collect ideas how you can implement it into your own work. Why Theory U? It implies Co-Initiating, Co-Sensing and Co-creation. It provides a sound orientation in change processes as it shows you where you are in your own process and what could be the next meaningful step. It helps you to generate solutions  from different perspectives, get in touch with your Future potential and activate the courage to prototype.

In our approach „ Facilitating Change“ we are using Theory U by Otto Scharmer as a change guideline. We combine it with the art of facilitation to deal with complexity and change dynamics.

Cultural Change (James McCalman)

, , , , ,

Client organisations and individuals will be introduced to some of the important themes associated with leading cultural change in a dynamic organisation. Our objective is to raise the awareness of key issues related to leading cultural change and to introduce participants to some key concepts and analytical methods. The learning approach involves Behavioural Science; MBA analytical models; and NLP interventions. The aim is to engage in a learning process that connects theory with practice in an action learning setting. Ultimately, we aspire to provide a foundation from which participants can prepare to operate with impact as successful cultural change champions for their respective organisations.

Critical insights into the operating culture of client organisations and the various ways that established cultural themes either block or enable successful strategic change are explored. It is important to stress that the findings and recommended interventions are a direct product of the participants creative reflections as they engage with the analytical processes facilitated.

This workshop will focus on developing authentic leadership skills through the distillation and experiential activation of core brand values and personal value propositions.

How neurosciences can contribute to leadership: some new insights and tools (Vincent De Waele)

, , , , ,

Over the past 20 years, neurosciences have substantially increased our knowledge of the human brain. A new approach developed by a group of scientists led by Jacques Fradin have developed a framework and related tools to help us in our understanding as well as optimization of human, relational and organizational behavior.

The workshop will start with a framework explaining the role of 4 decision centers of our brain and how they interact in a multifunctional way. Then we will see how this framework can help in 3 fields:

  • Individual change: our personality, our belief system, our profound motivations as drivers for change –
  • Group change: Spotting various personalities in a group, detecting limiting believes, dominant and submissive positions of people in the group and how to put the group in an open and creative mind by using the adaptative decision center (as opposed to the routine decision center).
  • Relations and communications in the group from a neurosciences perspective.

Social Architecture (Luc Galoppin)

, , , , ,

“Tapping into Social Architecture – Unlocking the Power of Community to Enable Change” Today’s digital economy has changed the way we think and how we work. As command and control declines in its power to deliver the full benefits of organizational performance and change, collaboration through communities is emerging as the shortest path toward productivity. This unlocks new avenues to explore how to drive change and organizational transformation by tapping into these powerful networks of collaboration and community. In this session we will explore: How to rewire your change efforts using existing communities within your organization How to build relationships and help people move from being consumers to producers of change How to find balance between hierarchy and community by making conscious use of the white spaces between the boxes of your organizational chart to support transformation

Developing Collaborative Competence. A needed skill for successful change. (Douglas Gilbert)

, , , , ,

Organisational change does not take place in a vacuum. The social systems surrounding an organisation seeking to change interact in ways that form a reality of social interaction which can help, hinder, or even stop change. Developing awareness and ability to explicitly manage social systems intertwined with a change effort requires a shift in paradigm from a rational to an interpretative perspective. A shift to an interpretive perspective paradigm rests on three key principles:

  • life world that persons and real world are inextricably intertwined through lived experiences;
  • social construction that knowledge of reality is results from communication and interaction with others;
  • and understanding drives behavior and people act according to their understanding of the world.

The workshop will explore what is involved in such a paradigm shift and how change management efforts must be adapted to develop organisational ability or “collaborative competence”. The concept of collaborative competence represents a collection of knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to manage the shared understanding of an organisation or the organization’s reality. A key to both change management and collaboration is that very ability to manage shared understanding or reality of an organization.
