The Upside to Downsizing: HSD at Work
|
|
This program includes an on-demand recorded webcast, available for access any time.
In these complex times, sustainability means flexibility. And, unfortunately, flexibility often means having to downsize. The more we and our clients walk the path toward a flexible workforce, the more we need to rethink how to walk with humanity and hope. This free, one-hour webinar introduces you to fundamental principles of human systems dynamics, and demonstrates how those principles can shape supportive, productive, creative, and promising experiences in the midst of RIFs (Reduction in Force), layoffs, and furloughs.
In this online workshop, you will learn ways to:
- Help individuals, teams, and organizations prepare for change
- Support the deciders, the leavers, and the stayers through uncertain times
- Maintain your own balance and perspective in the face of the unexpected
Your guide: As a pioneer in the field of human systems dynamics, Glenda Eoyang applies principles of self-organizing systems to help people thrive in unpredictable environments. Since 1988, she has provided training, consulting, coaching, research, evaluation, and facilitation support in the public and private sectors. Her approach to systems thinking focuses on a lively integration of theory and practice as she helps people see and influence patterns that emerge within and around individuals, teams, organizations and communities.
Her published works include numerous scholarly and practical books and articles including Coping with Chaos: Seven Simple Tools (Lagumo, 1996) and Facilitating Organization Change: Lessons from Complexity Science with Ed Olson (Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer, 2003). She is an associate of the Center for Evaluation, Planning, and Assessment at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada; Scientific Advisor to the Plexus Institute; member of the Circle of Scholars of The Union Institute and University; faculty member at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota; and founding Executive Director of the Human Systems Dynamics Institute.
