    ANNOUNCEMENT--QUANAH Collaborative Learning Teams Now Being Formed

    QUANAH is now forming two collaborative learning teams to
    focus on issues related to the role of leadership in leading
    and developing a learning organization.

    A collaborative learning team is an intimate group of people
    who meet together via a ninety-minute TELE-Conference twice a
    month to collectively inquire about shared questions and concerns
    related to a specific topic. Team membership is limited to 12
    committed members.

    Each collaborative learning team will begin with an initial
    TELE-Conference Meeting in which team members conceptualize
    and develop the learning focus and format of the team. About
    2 weeks after the initial meeting, a TELE-Orientation Meeting
    will be held to finalize the team's learning focus and format.
    Team learning meetings will begin in June and run through
    August. Each team meeting will be hosted and facilitated by
    Laureen Quick, QUANAH President & Senior Consultant. At the end
    of August, QUANAH will produce and distribute a Summary Paper
    outlining the learnings of the team. Additionally, QUANAH may
    submit this summary paper for publication in related newsletters
    and/or journals. If accepted for publication, all learning
    team members will be identified as co-authors.

    The two collaborative learning teams now being formed are:

    COLLABORATIVE LEARNING TEAM #1
    Leadership, Learning & Organizational Change

    The focus of this collaborative learning team will be on
    the relationship between learning and successful change
    efforts within organizations and the role of leadership
    in facilitating change through adult learning strategies.

    Potential questions to be asked include but are not limited
    to the following:

    1. What is the link between learning and change?

    2. Does an individual's resistance to change essentially
    mask a learning disability on the part of the individual?

    3. Do ORGANIZATIONS learn and change OR do INDIVIDUALS within
    organizations learn and change?

    4. If individuals learn in ways that are unique to them, do we
    need to lead and manage organizational change initiatives
    in ways that take into account the different ways
    individuals learn?

    5. Can an increased understanding of adult learning theory and
    adult learning strategies serve as a leadership tool for
    facilitating sustained organizational change?

    This team's initial TELE-conference will be held Thursday, May
    14th from 2:00-3:30 p.m EST. The Team TELE-Orientation Meeting
    will be held Thursday, May 28th from 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST. Team
    TELE-Learning Meetings will be held on alternating Thursdays,
    June through August from 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST.


    COLLABORATIVE LEARNING TEAM #2
    Leadership Development Strategies For Learning Organizations

    The focus of this collaborative learning team will be on
    best practices associated with the development of leaders
    within learning organizations.

    Potential questions to be asked include but are not limited to the
    following:

    1. What is a learning organization?

    2. What is the role of leadership in a learning organization?

    3. Is the role of leadership in a learning organization
    significantly different from other types of organizations?

    4. How do leaders develop in learning organizations?

    5. Does the development of leaders within a learning organization
    require unique or non-traditional leadership development
    strategies? If no, why not? If yes, what specific leadership
    development strategies are essential for the development of
    leaders in a learning organization?

    This team's initial TELE-Conference will be held Friday, May 15th
    from 1:00-2:30 p.m EST. The Team TELE-Orientation Meeting will be
    held Friday, May 29th from 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST. Team TELE-Learning
    Meetings will be held on alternating Fridays, June through August
    from 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST.

    The fee for joining one of QUANAH's Collaborative Learning Teams
    is $225.00 and can be paid by check or credit card. Additionally,
    please note, team members will incur long-distance telephone
    charges associated with the bi-weekly TELE-Conferences.
