Pathway to Change workshop

Posted by on August 17, 2009

Interaction Institute for Social Change is pleased and excited to offer  Pathway to Change™, a course that provides methods and tools to design and facilitate a collaborative change process. The three-day workshop, which will run from September 22-24 in Boston, is deeply rooted in David Chrislip’s collaborative premise –

“If you bring the appropriate people together in constructive ways with good information, they will create authentic visions and strategies to address the shared concerns of their organization or community.”

The Pathway to Change™ workshop highlights the dual role of change agent as process designer and facilitator of a collaborative change process. Participation in the workshop is from the point of view of the change agent as a member of a planning team.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

* Present a clear rationale to a group of stakeholders about why a particular change is necessary.
* Convene and facilitate a diverse group or team to agree on key elements of a collaborative change process from which the change effort will be launched.
* Complete a stakeholder analysis that identifies key stakeholders (supporters and potential blockers) and that describes how and when key stakeholders will be involved.
* Work with others to map out a proposal for a pathway to change, and facilitate stakeholder meetings to obtain input and build ownership of the process.
* Apply facilitation techniques to guide the group’s work throughout the different spaces of the change process.
* Guide groups to balance success across three dimensions: results, process, and relationship.
