Theory
Theorie U : open heart - open will- open mind
Theory U proposes that the quality of the results that we create in any kind of social system is a function of the quality of awareness, attention, or consciousness that the participants in the system operate from. Theory U is a method of learning and management created by Otto Scharmer. The principles of theory U are suggested to help political leaders, civil servants, and managers break through past unproductive patterns of behaviour that prevent them from empathising with their clients' perspectives and often lock them into ineffective patterns of decision making. Every person should be able to work with open mind, open heart and open will. Every conversation should be one of ´presencing´ (which combines the words ´presence´ and ´sensing´), in which unexpected creative ideas pop-up every time.
Departments or firms do not look at their personal gain in a project or product, but seek to work for the greater good of society. And finally, a Leader's most important job is to create context for improvement.The foundation of Theory U lays in the personal attitudes of people in conversations.
There are actually THREE INSTRUMENTS every person should use to work on a co-creating level: an open mind, an open heart and an open will.
An open mind means being able to set aside your ‘voice of judgement’. Prejudging situations or other people hinders human creativity and presence.
An open heart means to beat your inner voice of cynicism. You have to be able to be your authentic self and to dear to be vulnerable if you really want to co-create.Thirdly, an open will is necessary. People need to be willing to give up what they have, a spiritual condition for co-creating.Again, true change can only emerge when people are willing to approach every situation with open mind, heart and will, to be able to respond to it the moment it emerges
About our methodology
How?
The secret of the training is in the HOW.
As a participant you are going to have the chance to see things from a totally different perspective. To do actions, to act and share and act and share - all in order to make progress in your learning.
The goal of the training is to create more successes in life while enjoying it.
The program is super intense, we work from the morning till late evening, in order to create the maximum opportunity for those who are willing to learn and create. The build-up of the training is similar to a sport training, every day we do a bit more, and we use the previous experiences as a common base to build upon them. Through personal development, you will have the chance to improve your skills and gather knowledge in coaching and monitoring. We are going to take planning and project management skills and analyse them step by step to create the clearest possible understanding. By doing this, we practice how to use them.
