Workshop events
Small Study Group
In small groups, each with one or two consultants, participants will have opportunities to study the shifting patterns of relations in the group and their own part in what happens in the here-and-now in relatedness to the explored subject.
Review and Application Group
In Review mode, participants will have opportunities to review and reflect on the meaning of their experiences of the various roles they take or find themselves in within the workshop. In Application mode, participants will have opportunities to relate these experiences to the roles they will be resuming in their professional, organizational and personal lives outside the temporary workshop institution. The members of the RAGs will work with one or two consultant/s.
The Social Dreaming Matrix
The SDM comprises all participants. The primary task of the SDM is to provide opportunities to discover the social meaning of dreams. This is done through participants providing dreams to the matrix and free associating to them. Making links among the dreams and association will provide the systemic "unthought-known" meaning of the dreams. It is the dream, not the dreamer that is the focus of the work of the Social Dreaming Matrix.
It is a unique opportunity to explore whats going on in online group in relatedness to the workshop subject and reflect on how it might be connected to your own organisation in times of COVID.

The Organisational Event
This event provides opportunities to study and experience the relationships and relatedness between the participants and the staff in this temporary workshop institution as a fractal of our larger organisations and society. How do we understand the dynamics and processes that are at play? How were they formed? How are they part of collective unconscious processes? What function are they serving for us? What roles do we play in them? And who ends up acting them out on our behalf? How do we find and take up our authority, what is our experience of leadership and identity? Staff will manage the event, working in public. Consultancy will be offered.

Consultants
Dr Mannie Sher, PhD
Principal Consultant/Researcher
Mannie works as a social scientist investigating and consulting to top teams of organisations on their culture and development and change plans. Mannie brings the accumulated scientific experience and wisdom of the Tavistock Institute to bear on organisational dynamics and culture and thereby facilitate leadership groups in taking a fresh look at their strategic direction and performance levels.
In the kind of volatile working environments in which we exist, Mannie helps organisations to be smart and agile, to be in immediate touch with the views and needs of their users and to mobilise the willingness to change, loyalty, inspiration and commitment of their workforce. Mannie works with organisations and communities to go beyond surviving to remain creative, in turbulent times through developing capacities for rapid adaptability, inspired leadership, excellent teamwork and a responsible bottom-up team-focussed approach to design and delivery of products and services.
Mannie addresses the institutionalisation of work process that often stands in opposition to these objectives and it is his task to apply practical theory and high-level change-oriented consultancy to the challenges of complacency, out-dated practices and low-morale teams and turn them into star teams with stellar performance. Mannie co-directs the Tavistock Institute's Dynamics @ Board Level programme which is based on well-established Tavistock Institute approaches – addressing the unconscious, working with whole-system dynamics of boards and experience-based learning. He is an executive coach working with individuals, but always having in mind that they are part of larger systems, i.e. their organisation, community and society.
