The Organization Workshop: Creating Partnership
The Organization Workshop gets to the heart of partnership in organization life – why partnership is critical to organizational success, what gets in the way of it developing, and the role of leaders in making it happen.
The centerpiece of this dynamic leadership development program is an organization exercise in which participants find themselves in roles as top executives, middle managers, workers and customers interacting in a fast-paced environment. This visceral approach enables the learning to get beyond the head level to where it hits home and sticks.
In combination with these engaging, high-energy activities, there are practical strategic frameworks based on the work of Barry Oshry. These frameworks help participants make sense of what they’re learning and enable them to connect to experiences in their own organizations. The application activities help keep the lessons alive once participants are back at work.
