Conversational based change

We recognise that people like to talk. We believe change is best achieved when people in the organisation understand the reasons for the change, feel involved and are able to put their heart behind the change.

We use positive psychology approaches to help organisations to improve what they do and use the skills and experience of their people to achieve these results.

To help organisations (and teams) deliver change we draw on conversational approaches like Appreciative Inquiry (or Appreciative Enquiry if your English), World Café and Action Learning.

Our team have worked with leading names in the field including David Cooperryder and Juanita Brown and have published extensively on how these ideas can be used appropriately with a UK and European context.

Appreciative Inquiry workshops

We can work with you in a variety of ways, either as a business partner to help train you in the AI techniques, or with you to design, manage and facilitate a whole systems event using AI. We should know what we are doing, we wrote a book about it !

If you are unfamiliar with the power of AI you might like to read more about how we have used the approach.
 

Action Learning

Action Learning is an active learning tool which can be applied to any number of different issues and challenges. In Action Learning groups or 'sets' we bring clients and their teams together to explore solutions to real problems and decide on the action they wish to take. Most action learning meetings follow a common structure:

1. Describing the problem as the person sees it
2. Invite colleagues to raise questions that might help the person develop a fresh insight into the problem
3. Encourage reflection on the discussion and deciding what action to take
4. Plan reporting back on what took action
5. Finally, reflecting on the problem-solving process and how well it is worked.

We run a number of action learning set groups for professionals to help them to meet and learn from each other.
 

World Café conferences

Mondays uses other conversational approaches in addition to AI, for example we can host World Café events, as well as manage team strategy days using other conversational approaches.

World Cafe provides opportunities for people to talk about what really matters and what they want to do to make things better. We have done this in a range of different organisations including helping Business Psychologists think about their futures at a conference in Cambridgeshire.
