Structure
Activities for the program are scheduled to maximize participant learning through active engagement, hands-on facilitation practice, and feedback.
The program begins with one 1-hour optional virtual session to introduce the material and set the stage.
During each day of the in-person session, one Human Element module is used for the day’s practice and instruction. The program leader provides information about the module, its history, purpose, and design. Small groups spend time to plan presentations for the module, which are delivered in the afternoon to the other members of the group. Following delivery, workshop participants and the program leader provide feedback. Each day ends with advanced sessions or further personal work.
Following the in-person session there is a two-day virtual session covering application and selling client engagements using the methodology. Participants use the material in real-world settings so that they begin to use the work immediately.
The program has two tracks, which are addressed simultaneously:
- Learning the content of The Human Element methodology
- Experiencing the process and benefits of the methodology by building the cohort group.
