Seeing the Invisible: An Experiential Exercise in Group Dynamics and Process Observation Skills
What is it that makes one group a struggling assemblage of people
and another group a high-performance, energized team? In most cases, the answer lies in the many
group interactions and processes that are “invisible” to the untrained eye.
And since small work units – teams – remain the fundamental
building block of any successful organization, it’s important for OD professionals
at all experience levels to continually hone their skills in observing group
dynamics and facilitating group process.
Our November meeting presents a fascinating and engaging
experiential exercise that offers you the opportunity to increase your ability
to perceive the invisibles that occur every day in teams – the evidence
(what), participant (who) and process (how) of group dynamics. Through the use of the fishbowl method,
you’ll
Learn to be an OD wizard and make the invisible seen. Registration coming soon for our November
CCODN program.
