WHY WE NEED A RESET: THE CASE FOR ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING

Monday, JUNE 2, 2025: with Nigel Paine and Matt Richter

OVERVIEW

WHY is organizational learning important? Because it prevents companies from stagnating or becoming complacent - setting themselves up for a fall in the process. It creates a warmer, more even-handed structure for all personnel in which everyone can thrive and contribute.

HOW will organizational learning change your life? This program will put you in the driving seat so you can create and sustain a more positive culture. You’ll understand how to implement techniques so that cohorts will collaborate positively, feel safe, be able to use tools effectively, and become more cohesive.

WHAT is organizational learning? It’s an approach to learning that draws on the ideas and insights of the entire company or cohort. You’ll learn how to move your teams or clients from a ‘top-down,’ hierarchic structure to a more egalitarian integration that allows all voices and experiences to be heard and involved. In a world of rapid change, organizational learning culture keeps an organization aligned, agile, and responsive.

Nigel’s latest book, The Great Reset: Unlocking the Power of Organizational Learning, supports this program.

Are you an OD consultant, learning leader or manager, facilitator, or anyone who designs learning strategies? 

This program saves you from:

A deep and legitimate concern about your organizational culture being disconnected from the business and people in the firm– making it unhealthy, or even toxic.

And takes you to…

An organizational culture that thrives and gives back at every level, where everyone feels respected, empowered, and safe.

Which leads to…

Improved organizational output, a healthier culture overall, and longer-lasting retention.

This is for you if: 

• Your organization could use some changes to make it more cohesive.

• You want to implement positive and more steady dynamics.

• You are committed to instigating a healthy permeation of ideals.

• Nigel and Matt will take you on a journey to better: 

• Understand how organizational learning theory actually works.

• Analyze your current state of readiness.

• Begin to build out the elements of organizational learning.

• Construct, under supervision, a unique action plan.

• Integrate the plan at your soonest opportunity into your organization.

• Create a climate for the right culture, values, behaviors, and procedures.

• Judge its wider impact on your organization’s (or your clients’) success.

• Join a follow-up a month later to troubleshoot and share successes.

Using Nigel’s unique, success-tested model will make your company culture more flexible and robust. You will have created a framework that invites better conversations, more positive work relations, and better retention.

You’ll receive: 

• Bespoke attention and unique advice from Nigel and Matt during the session.

• The know-how to change a hierarchical culture into an organizational learning culture where everyone thrives and feels valued.

• A customized action plan, unique to you, created on the day.

• An e-book of Nigel’s latest book, The Great Reset: Unlocking the Power of Organizational Learning. 

• Lifetime access to Nigel (Nigel’s lifetime, not yours)

INTERACTIVE TECHNIQUES FOR LEARNING

Tuesday, JUNE 3, 2025: with Matt Richter and Thiagi (Thiagi will join via Zoom)

OVERVIEW

WHY are interactive techniques important? Because they engage the learner in a way that effectively facilitates learning based on the objective, the skill, the experience level of the participant, and the logistics. They prevent learning settings from becoming stale, confusing, disengaging, or non-productive. Interactive techniques allow for deeper, faster understanding and implementation, They wrap themselves around tried and true strategies that increase the likelihood that learning actually occurs.

HOW will interactive techniques for learning change your life? You will have a toolkit– a plethora of activities you can modify for your own programs. You discover how to choose the right activity for the moment at hand. You will have a mix of activities that enable you to impart knowledge, facilitate practice, explore topics, and assess whether learning is happening. You will have a treasure trove of activities that are evidence-informed and supported by cognitive psychology, to be the most effective route to whatever outcome you need.

What are interactive techniques for learning? They are a set of templates, or FRAMEGAMES, created and honed by Thiagi and Matt Richter over decades. This specific program walks the talk and uses those activities to teach both the science of how humans learn stuff and simultaneously how to take Thiagi activities and use them in your own work to maximize learning for your cohorts.

This program will release you from…

• The fear that you are unable to use activities to facilitate learning.

• A lackluster teaching style and the lack of respect that goes with it.

• The rut of traditional lectures and one-way learning that may yet reside in your work– or that of your colleagues.

And it allows you to…

• Get the best outcomes from a group, whether random, jaded, or unsure.

• Efficiently ensure your participants learn content, practice applying it, and ultimately can transfer it back to their work.

• As our friend Clark Quinn says, avoid using learning myths and misconceptions that may feel good but actually undermine real learning outcomes.

Which in turn enables you to increase…

• The speed of your instructional design.

• The ability for you to assess how well learners are doing.

• Engagement among learners with the content, with you, and with each other.

This is for you if…

• You want to improve your instructional palette and expand your toolkit.

• You are excited to learn numerous ways to engage students more effectively.

• Increase the efficacy of your instructional designs.

Matt and Thiagi will bring their unique deep dive in a one-day workshop to London, UK to celebrate the publication of their most recent book, Interactive Techniques for Learning. Matt will be on-site, and Thiagi will join via Zoom.

You will be learning directly from one of the greatest activity inventors in the world - Thiagi - and his long-time abetter and partner, Matt Richter. You will:

• Learn about learning itself and the motivations that drive us to learn.

• Receive training on a raft of exciting activities and try them in real-time so that you can introduce them to your participants later.

• Try a range of techniques, from storytelling to text-based activities to role-play to the trademarked Thiagi ‘jolts’—each of which invites you to learn different ways to engage with content and apply it.

• Understand that each tool is specifically chosen to embed content.

• Learn the importance of the debrief and how to enact a successful debrief without concern.

Using The Thiagi Group’s unique and proven frames means you will be a better, more engaging, more agile instructor, lecturer, facilitator, or Learning & Development manager. You’ll know better how to get the best from a group and have less stress about awkward dynamics and difficult conversations. This will lead to better learning patterns, better results, and happier groups who actually learn!

You’ll receive: 

• Bespoke attention and unique advice from Matt and Thiagi during the session.

• The know-how to change a limited, unidirectional teaching style into a hugely varying, flexible, agile, robust, and INTERACTIVE teaching style.

• Literal experience of how the activities run.

• An e-book of the new Interactive Techniques for Learning. 

• Lifetime access to Thiagi and Matt (Their lifetime, not yours).

SUSTAINABLE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Wednesday, June 4, 2025, with Matt Richter and Nigel Paine

OVERVIEW

WHY is sustainable leadership development (LD) important? Many leadership programs are problematic, unfulfilling, ineffective, or misaligned. Potential leaders need great development to inspire others and work through the wicked problems organizations face daily.

HOW will sustainable leadership development change your life? You will no longer leap with confidence that your program(s) actually do develop great leaders– or, heck, leaders at all. You’ll realize that we are greatly affected by the context we are in, the unexpected and the unpredictable. But, we will give you a framework for mitigating these uncertainties and construct leadership development that has the chance to be the right program for those in the cohort at the right time to facilitate through the problems faced. 

WHAT is sustainable leadership development? It is an eclectic method of developing leadership in organizations. It is the recognition that leadership is a system functionally done by many who fulfill the needs as they arise. It leverages evidence-informed practices and models like systems thinking and self-determination theory, among others, to equip leaders with tools to navigate the aforementioned wicked.

Are you a leadership developer? A leadership trainer? An LD instructional designer, LD facilitator, manager, executive, business consultant, or lecturer? Are you in L&D or HR? Do you manage or lead leadership programs? Do you want to?

This program will release you from… 

• Concern that you are confused or woolly on what leadership development actually is.

• Fear you aren’t up to date on current methodology or best practice.

• Uncertainty on whether you are on the most efficacious path to effective LD.

• Worry that you’re stuck mapping inflexible, inconsistent, warped, inaccurate, ineffective, or even flat-out wrong ideologies onto an ever-shifting corporate landscape.

And set you on the path of…

• Increased confidence in your methodology, even as the business landscape shifts from year to year.

• Awareness of the problems and pitfalls of expectation gaps, historical fails, and flawed traditional methods.

• Recognition that you have to remain ever-vigilant in your own flexibility– because what worked yesterday likely won’t work today… which won’t likely work tomorrow.

Resulting in…

• You are creating expert leaders who know how to engage, influence, and facilitate how to solve the biggest problems facing your businesses today as you prepare for the future.

• You foster empathetic leaders who are aware of the realities that the people they are leading face.

You can confidently view this one-day session as your first leadership development (LD) decision. This program’s cost will save you tens of thousands: the ROI on this day alone of the three-day program is spectacular– if we don’t say so ourselves!

Morning: You’ll unpack the flaws inherent in traditional leadership development, saving you confusion and missteps down the line:

• Definition problem. There are so many paths of leadership (and, therefore, ways that leadership development gets defined) that we are rarely clear about what the heck we are teaching!

• Context problem. Sadly, research and history show that what worked yesterday is unlikely to work today, and what works today is unlikely to work tomorrow. Why? The characters, problems, issues, and other contextual factors keep changing the game.

• Reliability problem. No maths, we promise! But few - if any - leadership models hold up to scientific / research scrutiny. Why does this matter? Because what we eventually deliver is bound not to work or solve the problems we face.

• Alignment problem. Finally, there is a discrepancy and dissonance between what is espoused by those in charge and who teach and the reality of what is actually lived or needed. We’ll examine that!

Afternoon: You’ll examine evidence-informed approaches to effective leadership development, thereby producing more bang for the client's buck.

• Understand the context. We explore analysis tools to better understand the context: the problems, opportunities, and situations that keep leaders up at night. We take a problems-based approach to determining the various situations leaders and managers run into as a catalyst for determining how to lead.

• Engage that context. We consider systems thinking a critical component of effective leadership development and an appropriate competency all leaders should have. How do leaders flex and adapt to the scenarios they face in an ever-changing world?

• Engage the people. How can leaders manage and own their narratives? How can they authentically foster and align motivational environments where community or organization members voluntarily engage toward a common goal? We’ll use a highly researched (50 years + over 8,000 peer-reviewed papers) theory of motivation that provides a structure leaders learn and then use.

• Manage your domain expertly. Finally, we urge leaders, LD designers, and educators not to forget the essential requirement: that leaders know their stuff enough to facilitate decision-making, navigate those problems, and more.

You’ll receive:

• Bespoke attention and unique advice from Matt Richter and Nigel Paine.

• The know-how to be a sustainable leadership development coach.

• An advance e-book of Matt’s upcoming book: Sustainable Leadership.

• Lifetime access to Matt Richter.
