Participant Selection Criteria:
|
- Has completed Module 3 of this workshop series.
- Has met the criteria listed for Module 1
|
Pre-Workshop Readings /
Intersession Works
|
- Review content of Module 3
- Be prepared to discuss intersession works.
- To read the article on Robert McNamara within the workshop manual. It is a fascinating
read on the impact this man had on today’s typical management philosophies, practices,
pros and cons. We would be doing a VDM work on this article. The intent is to see how
VDMs are used at mega-level change practices, such as creating a Learning
Organization.
|
Bring an article to the workshop
|
There would be a show-and-tell at the beginning of the workshop. Find an article in the
newspaper (you can take any in the past few weeks, etc.) that to you illustrates an
archetype at play. Cut and bring a copy to the workshop. For group discussion.
|
Post-course Work:
|
Draw a VDM mapping the Robert McNamara case with the chapters under the section
'Prototypes' in 'The Fifth Discipline'. Consider what action plans you would need for your
organization for the five levels of perspectives? Track the interventions on the project work
that you attempted in the workshop. We would love to hear the progress that you have
been seeing with applying the interventions. Look out for the follow-up note after the
workshop.
|
Classroom Etiquette
|
- Participants are strongly urged to have a good night's sleep before the workshop days.
Where possible to avoid long-distance travels prior to the workshop dates (which
includes the previous or same weekend) as it affects the participant's capacity to stay
alert and be attentive during the workshop.
- Participants to have read the joining instructions here, and their respective links (such as
the project background, workshop scope and manuals) at least two weeks prior to the
worshop date.
- IMPT: If at any instance the participant needs to be away, it is advised the participant do
not return to the session but instead rejoins from the beginning of the next available
session.
- To request your office colleagues and managers keep all phone calls to break-times (i.e.
prior to 9 am, 10.30 am, 1.15 pm, 3.30 pm and after 5 pm) within the workshop timings.
This is to minimize disruptions for other participants at the session.
- Will be "self-help arrangement by participants" at the workshop venue, if we need to.
NOTE: The participant will be advised not to proceed to Strategy Implementation stages of
the project if they were not able to complete Module 4.
