‘Theory U: a social technology for helping to bring about profound innovation and change’ with Nick Ellem

Theory U is being applied around the world by individuals, organisations and in multi-sector initiatives generating breakthrough possibilities around pressing organisational and societal issues.

Participants will learn and apply interdependent elements of the U-Process / Presencing:

• Four levels of responding to change
• Four types of listening and conversation
• Three (inner) instruments: Open Heart, Open Mind, Open Will
• Accessing and bringing forth one’s authentic Self
• Overcoming three barriers in one’s inner work
• Five movements of Presencing as a social technology for change: co-initiating, co-sensing, co-inspiring, co-creating, co-evolving
