Process Work and Organizational Excellence:
Embracing the Challenges of Diversity
With
Dr Stephen Schuitevoerder
9th to 13th July, 2008
We
are excited to announce that Dr Stephen Schuitevoerder, a well
known international facilitator and trainer will be continuing
his series of trainings in Process Work in Japan. This workshop
explores Process Work applications to organizational development
with a focus on diversity.
This
seminar: One
of the greatest challenges of every organization is how to
address the complex issues of a diverse workforce. Most commonly
the diversity issues focus on race relations, but as easily they
could focus on gender, sexual orientation, class, economics,
religion, health and so much more. Diversity is evident in so
many places, and yet the challenges of diversity are often placed
in the ‘too hard’ basket and neglected or ignored
until the issue forces itself into focus through organizational
losses and difficulties. Addressing issues of diversity early and
effectively is essential in creating a vibrant and successful
multi cultural organisation. Over the last 20 years Process Work
has explored methods of addressing issues of diversity through a
model called Worldwork. Worldwork focuses on small and large
group interaction in combination with exercises and awareness in
personal development.
This five day experiential workshop
will focus on the experiences and challenges of diversity in the
workplace and teach the skills to transform some of these
challenging issues into a deep and enriching experience for all.
The workshop is designed to give maximal experiential learning to
participants and will also provide training and skill development
for those working with diversity issues within organizations as
well as consultants, coaches and human resource
professionals.
What
we will cover:
• Process
Work theory and skill development with ongoing training in
structural analysis, edges and secondary processes.
• Worldwork
theory, with intensive training in large and small group
facilitation.
• Training
in consensus, role theory and ghost roles.
• Deep
democracy and the emergence of marginalized roles.
• Working
with hot and challenging moments of cultural tension.
• The
effective use of power and rank.
• Case
presentations.
• Working
with diversity towards the development of eldership.
Learning
Outcomes:
Participants will be provided with:
•
An
immersion in Process Work and Worldwork skills and their
applications.
• A
toolkit that can be applied in a wide range of diversity
settings.
• Identifying
marginalized roles and the transformation of these into
enrichment for all.
• Skills
in working with hot moments, tension and violence.
• Transforming
diversity conflicts into meaningful interactions.
• Deepening
our understanding of rank and power.
• Applications
beyond diversity, wisdom and the cultivation of eldership.
More
on Process work: Process
Work is a cross-disciplinary approach to support individual and
collective change. It developed in the 1970s and 1980s in Zurich,
Switzerland by Dr. Arnold Mindell, a Jungian analyst. Process
Work, also known as Process-Oriented Psychology, offers new ways
of working with areas of life that are experienced as problematic
or painful. Physical symptoms, relationship problems, group
conflicts and social tensions, when approached with curiosity and
respect, can lead to new information that is vital for personal
and collective growth.
With its roots in Jungian
psychology and physics, Process Work believes that the solution
to problems is often contained within the disturbances
themselves. Process Work provides a practical framework through
which individuals, couples, families, groups and organizations
can connect with greater effectiveness and creativity. Process
Work adopts a sense of deep democracy whereby each aspect of
ourselves is seen to be meaningful and important and offers
valuable information for us when explored and unfolded. Similarly
within an organization, each member holds important and vital
contribution to the group's well-being and effectiveness.
