Event Description:

In 1990, Peter Senge first used the term ‘learning organization.’ Since then, his concept has become an integral aspect for organization design; however, leaders continue to struggle with the soft skills vital for learning. One of these skills is giving and receiving feedback. In this 4-hour online course, you will play with the concept of what it means to be an organization, challenging ordinary ways of thinking about structure and design. You’ll explore what it means to adopt a growth mindset in the context of human organizing and natural systems. And you will experience giving and receiving feedback and feedforward from a new paradigm.

The foundation for this course draws upon cutting edge thinking in organization design and development, Appreciative Inquiry, neuroscience, and positive psychology. Discover how some of the most innovative organizations have made the transition to being a learning organization. This course is about transforming self, others, and organizations, focusing specifically on making the soft skill of feedback a more natural and actionable habit.  Join us in developing your skills to enhance your own and others’ capacity and competency to use feedback as an everyday means for learning, growth, and goal achievement.

Designed For:
