Do you also experience that…
The linear path to development did not close the worldwide gap, given that:
- Strategies are plucked from their implementation
- Focus lies on what needs to happen, instead of “how to make it happen”
- Stakeholder intelligence is an add-on, instead of the core ingredient
Do you want to be able to create..
A partnership process based on a learning cycle of collaboration towards change for the better, which:
- Builds on a mix of existing experience and peer to peer know-how
- Is demand driven and fast learning curve compared to traditional training
- Provides strong on the job support to get a difficult task done
- Saves time in tackling the outstanding challenges of today
Do you want to learn…
- A set of participatory techniques
covering for example:- How to organise decision making that links strategy and implementation in a logical manner?
- How to work on a shared analysis of the situation if knowledge and perspectives vary widely?
- How to remove obstacles for collaboration as they constantly pop up?
You learn to practice facilitation techniques in a safe environment!
- Access to the practical wisdom on how these tools can be applied in their specific assignment
covering for example themes like:- How do you start a process towards cooperation in your specific situation?
- How to avoid the complexity trap, and get stakeholders take responsibility (or ownership) for the content of a strategy/policy?
- How to work towards shared decisions and boundaries (i.e. decide not to do something) if interests diverge?
We share experience and analyse situations through intervision techniques!

How it works…
- About 8 participants working in various types of policy environment, a variation in nationalityis also welcome
- A timespan that is sufficient to have an impact on their assignment at hand, so about 12 months, but it is up to the participants to decide
- Bi-monthly meetings of 2-3 daysthat allow for intervision and training
- Monthly online follow-upmeetings
- Participants host the face-to-face meetings in turn, to keep costs down
- Costs are shared amongst participantsbased on a previously agreed budget
