Connection in a disconnected world: why learning experiences matter more than ever

I was in conversation with a long-time friend of RSVP Design last week, discussing the present state of workplace training; we'll be heading out to Washington DC for the ATD Exhibition this week and I was wondering what I might expect. Part of her response really stuck with me and I've thought about it a number of times since: "We've never had a ... Read more...
Practicing Before the Pressure: Building Negotiation Skills that Stick

The literature of Leadership Development has many advocates for an approach characterised as ‘learning on the job’. Strong voices that tell us that the best way for leaders to hone their skills is through the visceral, first-hand practice of leadership itself. I’ve got some sympathy for this viewpoint, there are some parts of leadership ... Read more...
Are you developing teams beyond a culture of blame?

Even a cursory browse through the huge volume of literature about great teams will reveal that there's an understandable interest in how they just seem to 'get it right'. There often follows a prescription to help other teams follow that path to success. We read about aligning individual contribution, solution-focused communication, building a team... Read more...
Do you focus on what you’ve learned, rather than what you’ve achieved?

I was challenged by a friend recently; she was making the point that we routinely ask clients to represent the complexities of situation or organisation in a way that reduces them to banal simplicity. What she asked me to do was to capture my life as it is today in a single representational diagram. I made several starts, only to abandon an attempt... Read more...
DON'T invest in learning (invest in behaviour-change instead)

I know I've written about this before, but it's important and it keeps coming up in conversations I have with L+D people so I feel it would be timely to ask a few questions about how learning in organisations is understood. As you'll know I'm a specialist in experiential approaches to learning, so I'm going to look at the subject from that ... Read more...

RSVP Breakthrough Thinking workshop(86.63 KB)

The Workshop objectives include:

To understand the difference between creativity and innovation

To recognise the stages in an innovation process and the contributions that individuals make

To practise a range of creative thinking techniques to generate new ideas

To apply creative and innovative thinking principles in practical problem-solving

To understand and use questioning techniques in coaching for innovation

To use the techniques to work on real-life problems identified and selected by the group

This is a one-day (7 hour) workshop that can be delivered independently or as part of a sequence of workshops around management skills, as we offer another five workshops in a discounted package (which can be seen below). This workshop contains four separate modules, and can be planned as a full day session which includes fun, engaging, serious and challenging activities aimed at helping delegates find new solutions to old problems, and to find new applications for existing knowledge.

Use this workshop to help intact teams move forward as part of a team development programme; to add another creative and fun module to an existing management or leadership development programme; or to help groups who feel they have little or no creative or innovation skills!

In an educational setting, introduce learners to the skills of creative thinking and understanding the connections to product and process innovation. Allow them to practice and build these skills, whatever their background or experience.
