The Society for Organizational Learning has once again selected our introductory workshop on Structural Dynamics, Seeing and Using the Big Picture to be included in their upcoming "2008 Academy on Wheels."  Boeing Corporation is providing the venue for this second Academy on Wheels to be held in Seattle.   Our workshop will take place on Thursday, 16 October 2008.  It is open to anyone wishing to enroll. 
's Introduction to Structural Dynamics Workshop was very well-received at SOL's premier "2007 Academy on Wheels " in Detroit. The Society was founded to advance the systems thinking approach made so prominent by Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline. We were very proud to have been included among the presenters at this event, which drew participants from across American industry, government and non-profit institutions. Attendees at our workshop used a composite case study to explore how to get underneath the loud and confusing buzz of current events in order to see into the structural elements that create both the present and the future. Combining the rigor of systems thinking with the creativity of futurism, the learning group built its own Structural Dynamics Model from scratch and used it to create alternative scenarios and explore action strategies via a set of highly interactive exercises. Participants had a very positive response to the session. As an IT strategist for a Fortune 100 corporation commented, "I cannot say enough good things about your program!"  
We will be presenting this workshop again at the second Academy to be held at Boeing ...

People from a variety of professional backgrounds have attended  's Introduction to Structural Dynamics workshops.  Representatives from health care, higher education, financial services, management consulting, a builder of Chinese-American partnerships, an environmental NGO, the public schools and others stepped through a detailed process for getting behind the headlines of any field in order to understand the deep structure beneath the surface of current events.  In a day packed with exercises, conversations and concepts, the participants used facts from a case study as a springboard to discover and live in plausible future worlds in order to select strategies to begin to implement in the present.
