Bringing Systems Thinking To Life A Personal Invitation May, 2004 Jiminy Peak -- Hancock, MA |
|
A Personal Invitation You are warmly invited to help shape the future. It's time to be asking: What's going on now in the world? What matters most in life? What truly sustains us? Consider that you hold the future in your hands as you read this invitation. ”Bringing Systems ThinkingTo Life” is a dynamic three-day workshop that literally brings Systems Thinking to Life for workshop participants. Feel the system in motion. Gain a living, working knowledge of Systems Thinking in comprehensive yet easy to understand terms. Experience what it's like to work in a true Learning Organization. This learning experience is for those of you willing to be responsible for leading change at all levels. It asks that you make the commitment to grow, to be a continuous learner, and to mentor the changes you desire to make in your own organization. What’s happened to the common experiences that bind us together as business organizations, as families, and as a nation? The healthy experiences that foster hope and help us rise above ourselves to our fullest potential? The experiences that are rooted in growth and sustainability, not in conflict and division? These are times of great opportunity and blessings. Yet so many people remain troubled at the seemingly insurmountable challenges before them, not only in their work, but in their personal lives as well. Solid leadership and effective teamwork always seem just beyond our grasp. What troubles us? We’re unsure how to cope as familiar things shrink or reach the end of their life-cycles. All we’ve known up till now is unprecedented growth. There’s a hesitance to trust. We’re insecure because we aren’t sure what or who we can depend on. There’s increasing fragmentation, more but poorer communication, and too little shared understanding. Few can agree on the best approach to move forward, and patience is at a premium. We keep pulling up the tree to check the roots. We’re reluctant to be mentors. We’re not developing the ability to establish and tend relationships. Our organizational structures have become unforgiving. The concept of “zero-defects” in manufacturing is showing up as zero-tolerance for people -- and this in a time when our future depends so much on cultural diversity. Instead of being guided by hierarchy of purpose and goals, we’re limited by hierarchy of power and privilege. You can make a great positive impact on the people aroound you as well as on your own personal life. We don’t need any more programs or tools -- what we need instead are changed minds. “Bringing Systems To Life“ can cause the much-needed shift in consciousness and practice. There are some standing among us today who are leaders in the truest sense -- true heroes and stewards who working for graceful change. Are you one of them? If so, join this workshop of learning and discovery at Jiminy Peak, May, 2004. If you have a stake in the future of your organization, community and family, this could be the most important decision you've made in a long time. You know that something’s about to break free. Be a part of it. Thank you. We hope to see you there. |
