Please note: These workshops are designed to improve a workplace and the work performed there. They are not training, per se, but facilitated improvement events used as part of your overall strategy.
Search!
Based on the groundbreaking work of Marvin Weisbrod, a large, cross functional team meets for three days to explore past and present issues, using them to develop a common vision. This workshop develops a set of project teams and a steering committee to coordinate them. Search! is ideal for breaking through conflict or mistrust and finding common ground.
Next Steps
For use with union and management teams, this workshop facilitates agreement on how to proceed with improvement projects. Results include the specification of Rules of Engagement, a joint labor/management steering committee and the identification of initial improvement projects.
