Bringing Systems To Life:
A dynamic three-day workshop that literally brings Systems Thinking to
life -- putting solutions to today's complex problems in the hands of the
people involved. To learn 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 we can't make constructive changes.
- Gain a working knowledge of the Systems Thinking, Leadership, and Teamwork
skills required in today's flexible, responsive organizations.
- Find out what it's like to work in a Learning Organization.
- Safely challenge and develop your Mental Models in an inclusive "hands-on"
accelerated learning environment.
- Learn from realistic practice fields that faithfully duplicate real
organizational dynamics.
- Make static "snap-shot" interventions obsolete as you learn how to tune
and grow your organization while it's in motion.
People used to ask how to get started. Now they're asking how to keep
going. Anything that grows will meet with resistance -- it's the nature of
growth. Our challenge is to prepare ourselves for the journey -- for the
long haul.
