For those working in community groups, public, third sector organisations and anyone collaborating to innovate and deliver services in challenging times and those curious about Systems-Centered work
Come and join us for two days to explore how to build teams and work productively in groups using a Systems-Centered (SCT) approach. Differences and disagreements in work groups are often a challenge and can interfere with getting work done. SCT offers ways of working with differences so we can begin to hear the value in them and work productively together.

We will use the Systems-Centered conflict resolution method of functional subgrouping to discover what’s helping and getting in the way of us working together. We will also explore real-life work challenges that participants bring. We will think together about predictable patterns that emerge in groups and what to do to move things forward.
We hope to have fun!
