ABOUT THIS TRAINING
Art of Organisational Innovation, Change & Learning is a training that arose in response to the urgent need to develop high performance organisational cultures underpinned by more emergent approaches to harnessing workplace innovation for sustained change and transformation.

Our focus together is the exploration of new possibilities in organisational innovation, change and learning.

This two-day program is rooted in the Art of Hosting (AofH) family of facilitation and leadership practices. You will leave with an in-depth understanding of participatory leadership and small and large group engagement technologies critical to your success in developing high performance organisational cultures.

Art of Hosting Conversations That Matter is based on the assumption and experience that human beings have enormous untapped wealth and resilience and that the sustainable solutions lie in the wisdom between us. In the current climate, tapping into the potential held in the organisation is crucial. Inviting everyone to participate with their diverse perspectives is the key to releasing this potential.

In attending this training you will increase your ability to:

  • move from an isolated view to a collective approach to innovation and organisational change, recognising and gathering support from others with mutual interests and affinity;
  • understand, influence, and catalyse change and learning in organisational systems;
  • intervene within your organisation in ways that do not backfire or isolate you, and that sequence different types of actions within your organisation so that they help make your moves effective;
  • utilise social dialogue technologies shown to result to strategic conversations that lead to wise action and systemic change;
  • create and communicate systemically agreed to criteria to monitor the value of an organisational innovation, change and learning initiative.
