Creativity in a Time of Upheaval

An experiential workshop on organisational dynamics
Saturday 12 November 2011, 9.00 a.m. 6.30 p.m. In todays climate of financial, political and social upheaval in the workplace, it is easy to lose sight of the values that drove us to work in the first place.
These upheavals affect us all, whether we are self-employed or work for large organisations. The workshop is an opportunity to experience and explore the complex dynamics that take place at work. We will explore issues of hierarchy, authority, leadership and self-management. Design and Aim of the workshop The workshop is based on two events: the resource management event and the marketplace event. The aim of these events is to give you an opportunity to explore your relationship to work to gain insight into your risk-taking, enterprise and creativity and to learn how you respond to change and uncertainty. Experiential Learning Participants will learn from their personal experience during the events and from the spaces afterwards for review and reflection. There are no lectures given. Staff will be present to support your learning and to bring into focus what is happening as the workshop unfolds.
