Workshop: Self development within the firms and organisations

Patrick Banuls
Trainer and counsellor in self-development of managers in firms and organisations. Working as independant for EM-Lyon, School of Executive Education and for Firms, Naval officer retired from the Navy - MBA INSEAD, Student in PCE at IFRDP – Dijon (France), email: patrick.banuls@free.fr

Abstract:

The aim of this conference is to show that self development is possible within organisations on a PCE mode. Along with job competencies, firms and organisations want to develop the transverse competencies of their employees and managers in order for them to be more efficient on projects and on transverse management and influence. The dream is to free the deep energies of people, to have persons working and progressing along with their jobs and have high level fidelity to the firm.

Men and women in the firms also have dreams. Being recognized and respected, have an interesting job, learn and progress in it, being myself.

Could we imagine these two dreams coming to reality? Could it be possible thanks to "actualising tendency" of everybody and thanks to "rogérien" attitudes all over the firm? This would be another dream!

Questions then arise. Can a firm policy be centered on persons and on their development as persons? Could managers really be present in front of others, empathetic, congruent, accepting unconditionally the other? All this making the firm perform more ! Could training benefit from a PCE approach for developing transverse competencies and also for the development of self?

Reciprocal demands in the relation between employees and the firm show mutual interests. Stemming from the study of this relation and of the personal and firm challenges, tracks are proposed for persons to develop themselves on a PCE basis. Firm and persons benefiting of that. Concrete examples will be shown.

Workshop: Change-management and person-centered approach

Cornelia Seewald
Sternstr. 32, 40479 Düsseldorf, Germany, mobile phone: +49 171 9531681, e-mail: seewald@costconcept.de, Internet: www.costconcept.de

Abstract:

Changemanagement concepts need to be designed for learning and coping on the business level, the organisational level and last but not least on the individual level.

The individual level concerns mental orientation, innerpsychic dynamics, behaviour and emotional adaptation.
The integration of the Person Centred Approach into Changemanagement skills and concepts can make a value added difference to change-processes like organisational restructuring, mergers and aquisitions, redeployment, growing start ups and fading out into free lance activities. This can make a difference in quality of interpersonal interactions and relationships. On the organisational level is a need for complementary interventions such as encounter and dialogue, appreciative inquiry, focusing, culture scouts, system constellation and other.

Sustainability is a major topic on the world's agenda: economic, ecological and social sustainability. One criteria of social sustainability is: participation of all stakeholders of society, like managers and employees. Based on healthy interpersonal communication culture and led by a vision and commitment to social sustainability we might have a better chance. The Person Centred Approach is supporting this value-based development perspective.
