What Happens When Cultures Meet?
Join us to experience the time-tested, research-based workshop created by Barry Oshry, a pioneer in the field of human systems thinking.
The When Cultures Meet workshop invites participants to explore and experience first-hand the challenges and opportunities that emerge when two or more cultures interact. Participants have described this workshop as insight-provoking, deeply personal & experiential, and the application of the learning continues beyond the event itself.
This workshop is usually done as a large group intervention and is typically run over 1-2 days. Wendy and John have custom designed this experience to fit into our 90 minute meeting format.
This workshop is a blend of:
- two dynamic, experiential exercises which explore the interaction of two or more cultures
- thought-provoking strategic frameworks to consider the challenges and opportunities of cultural interactions
- application activities that help participants make sense of their experience to bring practical solutions back to the organization
The typical full workshop information is available on the Power+Systems official website.
What might we achieve together when we practice how we interact with one another?
