for global people

A two day programme for leaders, project managers, global mobility professionals and educators working in a global context.

A powerful skill-building and practical workshop for global team leaders

Do you manage international teams or staff working from anywhere?

This is a two-day programme for leaders, global mobility professionals and change agents who want to lead powerful conversations. If you work with teams and stakeholders in different geographic locations and want to catalyse sustainable change across cultural and organisational divides by uplifting people and performance, this leading-edge programme is for you.

What challenges are we looking to address?

We live in an increasingly interconnected world where talent can, once again, move more freely. This has many benefits. But it also brings challenges. In particular, we are at risk of increasing fragmentation. Individuals often struggle to talk with each other about what matters most. Teams compete rather than collaborate so that critical ssues fall through the cracks. Organisations don’t serve their whole ecosystem of stakeholders and fail to connect people with an inspiring purpose.

“Brilliant course – maybe the best I’ve been on. Great to have some practical tools and conversations that lead to better decisions and higher performance.”

Gareth Evans, HR Director, AB Connect

Why attend

Creating Change through Dialogue in Global Business is a skill-building programme that provides practical tools to mitigate the risks by shifting these dynamics. It gives you the know-how to participate in and lead powerful conversations that create positive change to increase performance and wellbeing and get the most out of interdisciplinary and/or international projects, assignments and global talent.




Who needs Dialogue?

Participating in this programme will enable you to expand your leadership skill set whether you are:

  • An international business leader in the private, public or not- for-profit sector
  • A manager responsible for international assignees or business travellers
  • A global mobility or HR professional who catalyses or supports change in organisations
  • A stakeholder in technology, finance, manufacturing, enterprise or education and learning who has a vision to generate sustainable global growth and radical social change.

“This programme gave me the opportunity to investigate dialogue in depth and to practise with other professionals. The dialogic tools and skilled faciliatation whave helped me to embed dialogue into the way I work.”

Gillian Crooks, HR Transformation, Change, Engagement and Commnications Lead, HMRC.




What are the benefits?

Research shows that better dialogue delivers measurable benefits, including improved team performance, more satisfied customers and higher profitability. There is an art and science to holding powerful meetings where people do their best thinking and commit to aligned action.




Participating in this programme enables you to:

 

  • Lead conversations that mobilize people’s energy for action
  • Intervene skilfully in teams, groups and systems to integrate
    multiple viewpoints, increase creativity and decrease the risk
    of blind spots
  • Co-create solutions to challenges by listening to each
    individual and the wisdom of the whole room

The programme

Dialogue delivers results by turning creative tensions between different stakeholders into radically new insights and innovation. Rather than merely fighting for one’s own point of view, dialogue allows participants to stretch and evolve their points of view through engaging sincerely and creatively with opposing viewpoints and agendas. On the programme, we will discuss creative tensions such as:

    • Opposing agendas related to relocation of talent at different levels of management management levels
    • Tensions between sending and receiving line managers around interpretation of relocation packages
    • The wish to harvest the power of diversity through relocation alongside maintaining group coherence
    • Different views on how relocation mobility and international experience can and should contribute to employee and/or organisational development
    • Economic vs. family related selection criteria when choosing between candidates for relocation
    • How various host locations view talent deployment of minority groups
    • Different views on relocation vs. online work and the possibility for hybrid work forms after a relocation move or repatriation

A well-tested experiential approach

The programme consists of a unique and energizing weave of experiential exercises, personal reflection, research inputs and whole group dialogue. Instead of the typical role play approach we draw on a rich diversity of fields including applied psychology, organisational dialogue and cognitive science. Prior to the programme, you’ll have the opportunity to identify a current leadership challenge to explore and move forward.
