Working in organisations CPD course

5 day event - 13-17 Sep 2010

A group relations conference is a personal development programme which aims to increase personal effectiveness in any organisational role.

The conference is designed to be a miniature organisation in which various organisational scenarios and events take place. An intense and concentrated programme includes small group work, large group work, inter-group work and hierarchical relationships, together with personal learning reviews and meetings for the application of conference learning to each participant's own organisational role.

The primary task of these activities is to study organisational behaviour as it happens. This creates a continuous process of feedback about organisational behaviour from staff and other participants. Issues are explored in relation to awareness of the impact of self on others and the impact of others on self, leadership, followership, group membership, lateral and vertical collaboration, delegation and representative roles.

This is a tough programme for developing 'soft' skills and applicants currently experiencing stressful circumstances such as divorce, bereavement or serious illness, are advised to attend at another time.
