MasterClass Series - Exclusively for MBA graduates

Intelligent Teams

Facilitated by Martin Ringer
In Auckland at a date to be advised

Ideas will be introduced to create an intellectual "stretch" even for the well informed team leader, manager or consultant so as to create new approaches to developing collective intelligence in teams. Your ways of thinking about teams and collective thinking will be challenged.

Key learning objectives

• A "stretch" in thinking about how teams and organisations really work
• Greater versatility in leadership and facilitation style
• An increase in depth of understanding about the powerful ubiquitous out-of-awareness dynamics in teams
• The potential to increase the ability of influencing teams and groups towards more effective collective thinking
• "Constructive confusion" that has participants questioning prior assumptions about their own functioning and the functioning of teams and organisations. This constructive confusion is intended to stimulate on-going learning that persists after leaving the workshop.
  
  

Learning Style

The MasterClass is intended to be a place where participants have a "lived experience" of taking part in collective thinking and learn from this experience. Other learning will be achieved from short lectures on theory, models and techniques, and from experiencing facilitation techniques that are intended to enhance collective thinking.
