Facilitated by Peter Senge & Darcy Winslow
October 22-24, 2019
Ashland, Massachusetts, USA
This intensive, interactive, three-day program builds on decades of hands-on experience by Peter Senge and Darcy Winslow in shifting cultures of organizations for the wellbeing of employees, communities, and the planet. Whether within an organization, a value chain, or a community, deep change often involves building networks of trust and collaboration across boundaries, within and among organizations. This workshop will build skills that you can use right away to make change and move from polarization and inertia to collectively envisioning, initiating, and creating new futures. Special attention will be given to how to help shift the collective focus from just reacting to problems to releasing collective creativity.
Who Should Attend?
- Business and functional leaders, managers, directors and influencers
- People who want to build their leadership capacity to lead change efforts, from wherever they sit within their organization.
- Leaders who feel a personal commitment to building more sustainable organizations, value chains, industries and communities.
- Teams from all sectors who are working on sustainability initiatives in their organizations.
Program Focus
In this program, we will focus on:
- Strengthening your systems thinking skills to help yourself and others shift from reactive problem solving to initiating and creating new futures;
- Creating work cultures of openness and inquiry;
- Nurturing your own vision and sense of connectedness;
- Gaining exposure to effective integration tools and frameworks to address real issues, building on cases we have lived through;
- Helping larger networks move from polarization and inertia to collectively envisioning, initiating, and creating new futures;
- Working with and learning from diverse peers who share your passion for supporting organizations that can more and more effectively address the challenges we face in the world today; and
- Developing a proactive plan for your organization using the tools you’ve been exposed to in this workshop, regardless of your focus.
