Training

My specialization is training of consultants (internal or external) in working with participative change methods and coaching on the job in participative change processes

Once or twice a year I offer a learning route with open registration through the Society for Organisational Learning Netherlands, Sol-Neth. The objective of the learning route is to learn how to organise and facilitate participative interventions in the practical reality of your own work. A similar learning route can also be organised in company. Together with the client, the design as well as the contents of the learning route will be adjusted to specific goals and needs.

Together with co-facilitator Eva van der Fluit we directly apply the principles of LSI as much as possible in our learning route:

• Past, present and future of the reality of one’s work are connected with each other

• A broad range of capabilities will be addressed, allowing for spontaneity and creativity

• Action learning: learning by doing together instead of talking about it

• Increased reflection

• Striving for change in the here and now

• Flexibility in design and implementation

• Space for cultural differences

The learning route consists of the following parts:

1. Preparation, reflection on experiences and expectations

2. A three day learning workshop

3. Working on follow up activities in your own working practice, e.g. choosing an LSI pilot project or to organise a Large Group Intervention as part of an ongoing change process

4. Devoting a half day to discussing the follow-up activities, about two months after the workshop (planning in consultation with the participants)

5. Working on specific pilot/follow up activities for each participant

6. Evaluation day to exchange experiences (planning in consultation with the participants)

I can also help you organise and facilitate a Large Scale Intervention in your own company, organisation or community, if you think someone with more years of experience is required, or if you simply need a co-facilitator.
