Astrid Blunschi Balmer
Introduced by Klaus Schenck Sociocracy’s roots in political philosophy are almost as old as those of the banking industry in Switzerland. Combining the two with a focus on ethical values and sustainability, plus adding some lean, agile, and Solution Focus (SF) elements to the mix, sounds like another approach to radically Reinventing Organisations (building on Frederic Laloux) or more Brave New Work (as introduced by Aaron Dignan).
Lance Fortner & Tara Gretton
Introduced by Tara Gretton Lance Fortner’s voice and tone testify to his deep empathy and respect for others. The topic of schools, especially the challenges faced by children and young people, can be daunting. Yet, Lance’s approach is marked by a profound understanding of everyone he speaks about, a quality that shines through in his role as a solution-focused counsellor in a school in Heidelberg, Germany.
On 16 January at 18:00 CET. Lance will facilitate a workshop that focuses on a systems approach to skill building that empowers organisational staff to bring solution-focused (SF) principles to their client outcomes, creating a company-wide SF culture.
