Description: The Organization Workshop is an interactive organization simulation. During the organization exercise, participants learn what partnership is, and why, despite the best intentions, we continue to fall out of it. This workshop is based on the work of Barry Oshry, who has delivered presentations and workshops to organizations and institutions around the world on partnership, total system empowerment, and building community in the face of differences. Participants will work on application and action strategies for implementation.
Target Audience: Members of management, individual contributors, suppliers, customers, and all employees who want to better see and understand the social systems that make up their daily lives. We, like fish, are unaware of the medium in which we swim.
Organizational Issues: Working together effectively (partnering) is a critical ingredient in organization success. Our ability to create and sustain strong partnerships affects the success of our organization, our projects, and our personal lives.
Objectives: At the completion of the seminar, the participants should have the ability to better recognize that in life systems, we all seem to constantly shift in the patterns of relationship with one another. Participants should be better able to recognize unproductive and destructive patterns of relationship and be able to coach one another and take a stand for partnership.
