<br>see below for info about an upcoming workshop <br><br><br><br>> Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 17:53:02 +1000<br>> To: harrietrad@hotmail.com<br>> From: bd@uqconnect.net<br>> Subject: Workshop, Brisbane, "Emerging stronger from a crisis"<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Hello again Harriet<br>> <br>> On Tuesday-Wednesday 24-25 February Brian Donaldson and I are <br>> offering a two day workshop on "Emerging stronger from a crisis" <br>> at Riverglenn, in Brisbane's western suburbs. If you have <br>> colleagues or clients whom you think it will benefit, I'd be <br>> grateful if you'd bring it to their attention.<br>> <br>> It's intended for people in organisations (of any type) that are <br>> currently in crisis, foresee a crisis in the near future, or wish <br>> to prepare for the unexpected. It will also be useful for people <br>> who consult to organisations, and managers who would like to <br>> improve their ability to seize an unexpected opportunity.<br>> <br>> We've planned it as a very practical workshop, supported by usable <br>> ideas. Participants will be able to work on live issues. To help <br>> them in doing this, we'll be guiding them through processes that <br>> draw on ideas from the fields of complexity, resilience, high <br>> reliability and foresight.<br>> <br>> Participants will be able to influence the content. However, the <br>> workshop is likely to include the following:<br>> <br>> o recovering quickly from a crisis in ways that build a stronger <br>> organisation better prepared for future surprises<br>> <br>> o being quick-footed enough to escape the worst of a crisis<br>> <br>> o making the most of an unexpected opportunity<br>> <br>> o building an organisation that is productive, agile and resilient<br>> <br>> o preparing for unexpected and unknown future crises.<br>> <br>> We'll be using action research principles and processes to fine tune <br>> the workshop as it progresses. Knowing something of our style you <br>> can probably guess that it will be experiential and participative, <br>> with theory and practice well integrated.<br>> <br>> It's priced at $770. That includes GST, lunches and morning and <br>> afternoon teas. There's an attractive early bird rate for early <br>> enrolment. Contact me <bd@uqconnect.net> or Brian <br>> <d.c.g.@bigpond.net.au> for further details.<br>> <br>> Would you like to see a brochure with a little more detail? I'd <br>> be pleased to email you one.<br>> <br>> <br>> Warm regards -- Bob<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> <br>> +- Bob Dick ---------------------------------------------------+<br>> | bd@uqconnect.net http://www.uqconnect.net/action_research/ |<br>> +--------------------------------------------------------------+<br><br /><hr />Twice the fun— <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowslive/messenger.aspx' target='_new'>Share photos while you chat with Windows Live Messenger.</a></body>
