Overview

Fundamentally our teams and organisations are a system of conversations. Strategy, operations, planning and goal setting, change management, and project management – these are all conversations. The success of your teams and organisation depends on the quality of these conversations, on your ability to collaborate. In this online course, you will learn how to design and facilitate intelligent conversation for productive collaboration. Collaboration is approached and seen as a soft skill that focus primarily on personal mastery and interpersonal skills. While these soft skills are important, it can be limiting and often not sufficient to ensure collaboration. In this course, we provide you a unique perspective and theoretical lens into collaboration as a conversation system. We offer you a deep insight into the theory of collaboration and a practical methodology that gives you a hard skill in collaboration design – Systemic Collaboration. 

You will learn a practical methodology for diagnosing dysfunctional collaborations and designing productive collaborations that accelerates the agreement necessary to manage in challenging situations. To ensure value add, we can embed the learning via a structured action learning application relevant to you and your organisation.

This course is made up of videos lessons and short quizzes to ensure you embed learning. You have an opportunity to hone practical learning by doing an application in real situations that are important to you. We will provide you with personalised feedback to accelerate your learning and skill development.

What people are saying

HUGE fan of Dr Julian Day’s work and courses. I had the opportunity to study his approach whilst working with Old Mutual. At the time it was one of those fabulous moments of epiphany: a real game-changer, and it has since been an invaluable part of my toolset as a facilitator. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to get “unstuck”.
