How to Make Collaborative Change Work – A day-long Workshop with Dick
Axelrod

Dick is one of North America’s top-notch and cutting edge OD consultants.
He is here doing another project and we are delighted to be able to add this
workshop onto his existing schedule. We especially want to encourage you to
bring one or more of you clients with you because:

• It is a great opportunity to build your relationship with them by being
  learners together in working with this material on collaborative change.
• You can work on a real change project and get some valuable insights and
  feedback about your thoughts and plans.
• It would enable your clients to hear more about what OD can and should
  be, without you having to send all those messages yourself.
• And for some of you, it might be a great way to introduce possible clients
  to the whole OD field and its core values and some of it’s very best practices.
  Please see more details about the workshop below.

Do you have an upcoming change project?

Are you interested in applying the steps and principles for creating collaborative
change?

At this hands on workshop Dick Axelrod, author of Terms of Engagement: Changing
the Way We Change Organizations, will show you how to make collaboration work.

Most improvement efforts fail, not because of poor strategy but because of
faulty implementation, brought on by employee indifference, misunderstanding,
and anger resulting from outmoded approaches to change.

In this session you can expect to:

*   Learn a new paradigm for approaching change and understand
why the old paradigms aren’t effective any more.

*   Discover the four principles of engagement that can shape
your approach to change in the future

*   Apply real learning to real change projects. Please attend
with a team where possible (O.D. consultants – plan to bring 3 – 5 members
of a client group to plan an approach to an actual change). And yes, Individual
consultants may also attend and will work on changes brought into the room.

As a result of some feedback from you, Helen and I have clarified our fee
structure to make this as affordable as possible:

1. If you are a BCOD member then you pay $125 for the day.
2. If you are a non-member then the fee is $150.00.
3. And then we have a special category where consultants can bring their clients
   and the client pays $115.00.

Please note that a colleague who works in the same office is not necessarily
a client ….. and we are running all of this on the honor system. We’re leaving
it up to the sponsoring consultant to tell us what category any accompanying
people fall into.

The final step is to send a cheque made out to the BCOD Network to:

Suzan Guest, Steering Committee Chairperson, at
21523 87th Ave.
Langley B.C.V1M-2E5.

We need you to do an email registration by April 8th and to have received
your cheques by April 15th.
