We’re excited this year to have four great pre-conference workshops for you to choose from before entering into Day 2 and 3 of the conference… All the following pre-conference workshops are on Wednesday 5th October.

Communication Workshops

  
 Exploring below the surface: eliciting stories for cultural diagnosis
 
This one-day workshop will explore the use of story-elicitation and action research to access the less accessible aspects of organisational life.
 
 
 
  The Power of Song: working with individuals, groups and/or communities.
‘Music has a power, a very special power’. How can lyrics be rescued from the words people speak? How can songs be crafted and then performed that give voice to preferred stories of identity? How can we use music and song in our work, even if we consider ourselves ‘not musical’? This workshop will be relevant to anyone with an interest in music and melody and how their power can be harnessed to work with individuals, groups and/or communities.

Exploring The Edges of Work
Workplace approaches that were once just fine are now struggling in the face of complexity, unpredictability and demands for creativity, innovation and agility. Change happens at the edge. We’ll share ideas for navigating edge territory, look at three tyrannies that keep us away from the edge and ways for new work to emerge.
