Are you looking for a cutting-edge experience that will help with your complex consultative projects where there are issues in how you take up a role as a consultant?

Organisational Consultancy: Working with Dynamics provides excellent opportunities for experienced organisational development consultants to:

• explore the roles and tasks of advanced organisational development and change consultants;
• examine how you will add depth and advanced skills to the roles and tasks within your practice;
• think together in a safe working environment to deepen your advanced consultation skills;
• encourage a culture of curiosity and enquiry within the programme.

Themes:

The objective of the programme is to deepen your skills as a systems psychodynamics organisational development and change consultant. Our approach is to provide opportunities for deep and holistic learning that focuses on principles, links and meaning, valuing uncertainty with the participants as active explorers. The programme provides opportunities to:

• discuss consultation dilemmas faced by you as an organisational development and change consultant;
• problem-solve, plan and collaborate on consultation issues and dilemmas;
• bring aspects of your consultative practice that you are curious about and want new ideas around how to work with those current dilemmas;
• examine the roles you are unwittingly ‘invited into’ by the system and how task-oriented or anti-task they might be.

Learning methods include:

• Experiential events such as small study groups, inter-group events, social dreaming matrices, sensing walks and regular reviews of each event in the module as the programme progresses.

• Theories: Theoretical input via reading seminars and exploring the application of ideas in consultancy work, such as open systems, socio-technical systems design, socio-ecological, socio-psychological, large and small group dynamics, consultancy interventions, the application of group relations theory to consultancy practice, the application of psychoanalytic theory to individual, groups and organisations.

• Practice: The presentation of consultancy practice to deepen the learning and the application of advanced systems psychodynamics theory and practice.
• The opportunity to receive in-depth feedback on your taking of a role and practice as a consultant.
