Learning For a Change
In our rapidly changing world, we often find ourselves working harder but simply unable to keep up. And as complexity increases, it's easier to make quick fixes than to create new systems.
Our methods of organizing and performing work have become layered with beliefs and procedures that serve the past -- not the future. We might even find ourselves in a reactive mode -- out of touch with our market, our customers, and even our fellow employees.
  Change is a given -- but how we deal with change is what sets us apart. One of the best ways to gaurantee healthy change and growth is through the process of Continuous Organizational Learning.
But learning from our efforts -- our successes and failures alike -- means connecting what we get with what we've done. Without these connections, we can't learn -- and can't make constructive changes.
 ”Bringing Systems To Life” lets us see the big picture. It allows us to view the entire system while it's in motion so we can learn how each piece interacts with and effects the others.
”Bringing Systems To Life” lets us learn -- both as individuals and as an organization. It allows us to achieve our desured future goals through conscious collective actions.
You Will Be A Part Of:
- A ”hands-on” accelerated learning environment where ideas and alternatives flourish among like-intentioned people.
- An inclusive atmosphere where you can safely challenge and develop your thinking without putting either yourself or your organization at unnecessary risk.
- Opportunities to test new ideas in settings that duplicate real organizational dynamics.
- Realistic practice fields for mastering new skills.
- Guided and personal reflection -- in both large and small group settings.
You Should Attend If:
- It's time to be intentional about how your future is unfolding.
- You've attempted numerous change programs yet have seen little, if any, lasting results.
- You want to be part of an organization that has a sharp collective mind, yet is guided by caring hearts.
- If you want Systems Thinking to come to life for you.
- If you want people in your organizaiton to recognize and associate cause-and-effect.
- If you feel overwhelmed and pressured by the pace and complexity of the work environment.
- If you would like to move further ahead rather than backwards as you try harder.
- If you would like to make improvements in your organization without the impracticality of ”freezing” it in place.
- If you want to discover the order and calmness that can be found in ”true systems understanding.”
- If seeing the ”invisible” part of the system below the surface is important to your future.
- You’re looking for an effective workshop to bring on-site.
