Companies such as Intel and Harley-Davidson know the value of using SoL's organizational learning principles to increase work team productivity and impact. In this interactive workshop your team will learn the tools and methods necessary for building a learning organization and apply them to your most pressing business challenges.

Why this Workshop is Unique

1. Customized in Real-Time to Address Your Business Needs: Your own projects and goals are used to shape the workshop content. The flexible curriculum allows facilitators Robert Hanig and Sara Schley to work with your team to integrate the tools and methods most relevant to your current work.

   With pre- and post-session consultation and support, the goal is to achieve effective, coordinated action and results in your ongoing projects through the power of learning as a collective process.

2. This is not a superficial training exercise. It is a generative learning experience that goes beyond the 4-day workshop. To set you and your team up for success, we provide support that extends the actual workshop experience:

• Before the workshop, an experienced SoL consultant will conduct individual and team enrollment calls to identify the critical success factors most important to you and your team.
• Two consultative follow-up calls will help you and your team continue to apply the learning over a period of 4-6 months.
• Your return on investment will increase as you share knowledge with others in your organization over time. Creating your own community of practice in the workplace will sustain and refine your competencies.
• Further collaboration in the form of customized in-house workshops, coaching, team facilitation, intervention design and implementation is also available.

Learning Objectives
You will uncover new approaches to your current team challenges, and acquire a broader perspective and skill set to sustain change. After attending this workshop you and your team will be able to:

• Use system archetypes to clarify complex causal relationships and identify leverage points for sustained success
• Initiate, lead, and participate in productive conversations that promote learning and bridge personal and organizational boundaries
• Understand how your beliefs and assumptions influence your own behavior and your team's results
• Recognize where vision and aspiration may be superior to problem-solving in producing critical business results
• Create a learning community with people from outside and inside your organization to enhance your capacity for transformation and innovative action

Who Should Attend?

• Teams and/or team members who want to build their capacity for effective decision making, accelerated performance, and inspired results
• Leaders at all levels who want to tap into the collective intelligence of their organizations to address their toughest business challenges and leverage market opportunities.
• Teams from all sectors — corporate, non-profit, government, and education — who recognize that a new way of doing business is needed to survive and succeed in the 21st century.

The Learning Environment
Come to the workshop prepared to work on your challenges, and participate in a learning community of ongoing support, innovation, and growth. SoL's unparalleled attention to the quality of the "container for learning" stems from our desire to provide a safe, human-centered space that allows for the kind of reflective focus in which breakthrough results are achieved. As you work with your own and with other teams, you will have first-hand experience of leveraging the collective intelligence of an action-learning community. In recognizing the principles and values characteristic of this generative energy field, you will have taken the first steps toward extending the experience into your own organization.

"Having the work group attend together really took our capabilities beyond the 4-day experience."
