| Management Development and Training |
|
Tailor made courses are created for organisations. These
are particularly successful when an organisation appreciates
that for organisational development to occur the leadership
group need to develop at a cultural, relational and skill
level in parallel.

| Church Mission Society |
| A systemic management development programme
has been operating for 3 years with the aim of training
all managers through a 10 module course. This work has
complemented other consultancy and training work for the
organisation including facilitating strategic development,
development of an appraisal system and training for its
implementation, work at the boundary of the relationship
between trustee and executive, senior and middle managers,
mentoring of general secretary and head of HR. Over that
time, a cultural shift has occurred whereby greater staff
participation has been achieved in contributing to key
issues of development e.g. a new appraisal system, in
the context of greater clarity about role, rights and
responsibilities for decision making and stronger linkage
between organisational strategy, development and enactment
of team and individual goals. |

| Community of the Resurrection |
| A reflexive inquiry approach has been
used to facilitate the development of a community in the
context of severe conflict. The work has included extensive
interviewing of individuals to enable core issues to materialise
that were felt to be difficult to articulate; large and
small group work to encourage the discussion of key issues
and the building of relationship; work at senior management
level to create coherence and balance of intervention.
The work has enabled the community to develop communication
skills so that differences are worked through and contained
and progress not impeded. The community recently experienced
a successful election for a new leader, which they see
as a sign of development, as previously, the meaning of
leadership was a very contested issue. |
