Welcome to the Growing Edge Consulting Service
Important Front Page Notice
During the festive season break, I have been considering how best I can add value to colleagues and/or clients in 2012.
A Proposal from Ken Gilbert
Request for Expressions of Interest…by Friday February 3, 2012 please.
Ken Gilbert invites you as a colleague and/or client to participate in a 2012 Learning Group focussing on Leading and Facilitating Change at Individual, Group and/or Sub-Group, Organisational and Societal Levels.
The Learning Group will convene monthly in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for 11 months on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evenings at a convenient venue from 6pm to 9.30.Strict timing will be adhered to.
A Learning Group will consist of 12 members including Ken Gilbert as facilitator .
Each meeting will include four 45 minute segments: a meal, a presentation by me on an issue within the four change levels, a conversation led by a member on an article from the Learning Group resource folder, a case study led by a member followed by a 30 minute evaluation discussion at the end of each meeting led by a member.
A resource folder will be provided to all members and will consist at least of all available National Training Laboratory (NTL) Journal Issues “Practising Social Change”.
Membership is open to all with a value being placed on diversity of background.
Professional or personal partners can belong to the same Learning Group but “Chatam House” rules will apply to all conversation within group meetings.
There will be a common membership fee applying to each Group (if there is more than one Group). The fee will be set at the first meeting by Group members in my absence. The fee will be payable in anyway convenient to each individual member.
Full time attendance and active participation is expected of each member with the understanding that a meeting’s absence is acceptable due to annual level or emergencies, with the proviso the a member can fill her/his place if absentwith one of their own colleagues with due notice being given of this to other members.
Benefit from membership is expected to include increased knowledge and skills in facilitating change at all levels, increased interpersonal competence and of course enhanced personal and collegial networks. Certification of participation will be available on request.
We will fill the 2012 Groups in response to this Invitation for Expressions of Interest with a value being placed on diversity of membership. At this stage, two Learning Groups are envisaged meeting on the second and fourth Tuesday, Wednesdays or Thursday of each month. When expressing intention to participate please express any preference re meeting weeks or days.
The program and responsibilities for the year will be set at the February meeting.
