Is the future of your business or your career
looking highly uncertain, or, is it looking so certain that
it weighs you down? Whatever past or present circumstances
have created your outlook now, the Strategic Directions Workshop
will provide you with a fresh view of your's or your
business's future. A view that connects you with the roots that got
you there, is truly your own, and one that will guide you clearly
and confidently in your next steps.
A few scenarios of how the workshop
helps:
| Scenario |
This workshop will help
you: |
| You have a successful business or career, but
you really are not enjoying it any more, it may even be keeping you
from doing what you feel really drawn to. Or, you just know you are
drawn to ‘something’ else. |
Find a way to get clarity on that ‘something’
and to get the strength to build a future in the areas that you
choose. |
| Your business or your career seems to be
coming to a stand-still, and no matter what you do you can’t get it
kick-started. |
Inject a new sense of purpose into what
you do and the direction in which you want to
head. |
| Your business or your career is facing
fierce competition from existing or new players, and you are
worried whether or not you or your business will even
survive. |
Create a resilience and determination in
you to out-play and out-smart the
competition. |
| The business or job you are in is being
gradually but certainly wiped out by new
technologies. |
Face what is ahead a lot more
confidently and identify the real opportunities that await
you. |
| Managing people is becoming too much,
there may be unresolved conflicts in your team that you are at your
‘wits end’ with. |
Sharpen your focus on what action is
needed, how to do it, and how to prevent such conflicts from
emerging again. |
| There is no way to escape the ‘squeeze’
of customers wanting more for less and suppliers providing less for
more. Profitability is suffering and cashflow is getting tighter
and tighter. |
With an affordable ‘escape’ from this
bind, and to help you prevent it from becoming a repetitive
pattern. |

Who it is suitable
for:
- Business owners
- Senior
executives

industry
- Not-for-profits and government
bodies
- Executives and professionals interested
in studying the hidden dynamics behind individual and
organisational achievement.
What the workshop involves:
This is an experiential tool. There is no
obligation to be involved beyond actively observing, however, we do
ask participants to at least be ready for something different to
their normal ‘workshop’ experience. Using systemic principles and
solution-focussed techniques, the facilitator works with people
representing the client’s situation in a social-spatial setting.
There is no role-playing, but people may be asked to represent
elements of a client’s situation and to simply report to the group
what they experience in that setting.
Throughout the workshop the facilitator will
provide everyone with practical lessons in how strategic directions
can be revealed, how they can be resourced, and how they can be
integrated into an individual’s or an organisation’s working
model.
About the work:
Where Peter Drucker got us thinking about
'management by objectives' in the 50's and 60's and Michael Porter
got us thinking about 'competitive advantage', 'value chains', and
the 'Five Forces' in the 80's and 90's, this  work
takes us beyond the 'thinking' to reveal the underlying dynamics
that shape our thinking and thereby provides a more direct way to
influence the changes we seek.
With roots in family therapy and the
application of phenomenology, the theory and practice of systemic
constellation work emerged in Germany during the 1980’s. It has now
spread to many parts of the world where practitioners are
increasingly applying the work to business, organisational, and
career development situations. For more background see:
