Dear Colleagues:
If the application of open systems theory at work, in training
events or organizational consultancy are issues for you, clients or
students, the following will be of interest. The Midwest Center, A.K.
Rice Institute is sponsoring an Advanced Application Workshop.
Participants submit a brief written description of an unresolved
organizational or consultancy problem to be used when they are in the
consultee (client) role.
Earl Braxton, Ph.D. and Ed Klein, Ph.D. have designed a engaging
training event; each person has the opportunity to use the consultee and
member (observer) roles to enhance learning about the consultancy role.
Learning is facilitated by focusing on these three roles and getting
feedback from the faculty. Participants rotate in the consultee role
presenting the unresolved case, the consultant role to the client and the
member (observer) role. The
focus will be on the application of role analysis and open systems theory
in understanding the unresolved case. Faculty will provide public
coaching/consultation to client and consultant.
This course is designed for 12 people who have participated in
an experienced based learning model or have done role analysis work.
Others may be admitted at the discretion of the faculty based on
comparable experience.
This workshop is offered to individuals who wish to learn about the
relationship of theory to practice and the member (observer), client and
consultant roles. If you know of anyone who is interested in the study of
applied systems dynamics in organizational, training and clinical settings,
please bring this to their attention.
Training begins at 2:00p.m. on Friday, December 11 and ends at
3:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 13, 1998. Sessions will be held at the
Duncan Center, Delray Beach, Florida. The fee is $695 which includes
room, board, tuition and all materials. For additional information or
brochures please phone Janice G. Brewington, Ph.D. at 336-273-4070 or
FAX her at 336-334-7637.
