​Training and workshops
We have workshops designed to engage people, locate the energy and discover the best opportunities to plan your evolutionary journey.  Our programmes provide a wide range of resources, practical tools and support to implement the changes.

Our workshops provide support to 
  • Explore new ways of working and identify opportunities to test and learn in your organisation to get you off the starting blocks. 
  • Redesign roles and the way people work together
  • Examine current decision making and develop new decision making processes to enable your new ways of working
  • Implement new ways to generate, share, access and understand information.
  • Implement feedback and improvement systems that enable learning, provide an agile response to customer needs and reinvent performance management.
  • Design and implement new ways of communicating, solving problems and resolving conflicts.
We can also provide bespoke training and coaching for individuals and groups.

Workshop redesigning roles
 Change leads to disappointment if it is not sustained. Transformation is sustained change, and it is achieved though practice”. Guruji BKS Iyengar

Learning Architecture
We found that sustainable change means enabling people to continue to develop and learn.  Designing learning architecture to ensure your developments are sustained and can evolve to meet future need is the smart way to approach change and development. In our fast paced, highly connected world we are seeking more than competitive advantage. Enabling people to share their experiences and learning, sense make and discover new patterns in the complex environment in which they operate; and develop new practice in response to this is essential.

​Creating intentional spaces for collaborative intelligence and learning is a tried and tested way of developing organisational agility and new and better ways to respond in a changing world. Using these methods to stay relevant to customers and stakeholders makes organisations sustainable. 

We use networked learning and communities of practice approaches to promote the development of the organisation and of people. Promoting mastery, innovation and creativity makes people happy and more engaged with their work. People develop new knowledge and practices better suited to the current challenges they face and help their organisations and communities deliver to and fulfil their purpose.
“An organisations ability to learn and translate that learning into action rapidly is the ultimate competitive advantage” Jack Welch CEO General Electric.

Scaling up and systems change 

​Communities of Practice are excellent at building relationships that can foster trust and deep learning allowing members to sense make and reconnect with their values and aspirations in environments where this has sometimes become difficult. When organised intentionally into a network and facilitated to encourage Communities to see each other, the value generated can be even more powerful. Connections between communities can encourage the innovative and problem solving potential of Communities to flourish generating innovative solutions and building large scale systems change.

​“To create small scale change work through cohesive communities, to create big scale change build a movement by creating bridges between disconnected communities” Helen Bevan, Chief Transformation Officer, NHS Horizons Group 
We have collaborated successfully to build a number of networks and communities to support and sustain transformative work. It's important to build your community and network intentionally and design it to create the value its membership and wider environment require.
