The Cooperative Experience
The
Cooperative Experience is designed for people
interested in improving their ability to create and maintain
cooperation, and gain greater contributions from others. It is
designed for those new to management ranks, and those who lead work
groups and project teams.
The Cooperative Experience
is a 1 ½-day course in which participants, working in groups,
practice the skills required to establish cooperation, diagnose and
correct dysfunctional groups, and gain greater contributions from
others.
Upon completion of The Cooperative Experience, participants
will be able to:
● Create and maintain cooperation among
people
● Diagnose and correct dysfunctional group dynamics
● Set up situations allowing others to make significant
contributions to group work
● Use a common end to focus the efforts of others
● Facilitate effective communication to improve results
● Conduct activities consistent with strategy
The
Cooperative Experience is offered as an internal,
private company program, and in cooperation with associations.
What Past Participants Are Saying
"I applaud the amount of research and vision put into
this program. It has helped me to gain a more 'scientific'
understanding of the cooperation process."
"I have done many of these seminars but have left very few with any
enthusiasm for what I have learned. Congratulations and thank you!"
"I wish that I had attended this course 20 years ago."
"My expectations were indeed exceeded. I am confident in the ability
to use these ideas and benefit from them, for a lifetime."
"This course was a very eye-opening process that made me realize
that assumptions may lead to not being able to accomplish the task
at hand."
"The class was very helpful and provided new insight to areas at
work where problems do arise. Instructors were excellent!"
"I felt that it was a very valuable class that gives you tools to
bring back and apply immediately at work."
"One of the best classes I have ever attended. I learned more these
last two days than I ever have."

"I have taken several leadership courses and participated in company programs to improve overall performance. This approach was significantly different. It is one that makes sense and I think I will succeed in putting into practice." |
