Theory U

Theory U is a change management method targeting leadership as process of inner knowing and social innovation developed by Otto Scharmer. At the core of the "U" Theory is presencing: sensing + presence. After a phase of letting go, at the bottom of the U, lies an inner gate that requires us to drop everything that isn't essential. Theory U comes with some powerful tools to help us collectively touching this inner state.

Spiral Dynamic

The Spiral Dynamics is a cyclical and iterative theory that is gradually emerging and seems to transcend the existing models in our society. As a data-based, psychological approach, it is used to dynamically model human evolution and information systems of people, organizations and society which seem complex and apparently fragmented. A new way of mapping and understanding the interaction between people that distinguishes the different value systems or world views of people and cultures and how they change when the life conditions change. It is a powerful change management and behaviour tool. You probably know this model without knowing it. Don Beck used it to coach Nelson Mandela move out of the apartheid, Frédéric Laloux used it in "Reinventing Organizations" and Ken Wilber used it to develop his "integral approach". "Changing society and changing oneself is a one and only journey. »

Systemic Approach

The systemic approach is a way of looking at the interactions between people and their environment. People are in relationship with each other and their exchanges create a system with implicit rules which are most often unconscious and constitute the balance of the system. Observing the relationships in a team or a service allows us to understand what the regulations and impacts are at all levels. The Systemic is therefore a global approach that will invite you to gain height to observe and decode the relationships between the different elements of the system.

Lego Serious Play

The LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® (LSP) methodology is a scientifically developed method that helps companies and organizations handle complexity, increase dialogue, and unleash innovation and creativity. Research shows that LSP facilitated workshops help people in organizations see their challenges in new ways, just as they enable people to create new ideas and approaches to their challenges. The Real Time Identity application of LSP is an unique approach to turn groups into teams or teams into high performing teams. Through guided and structured exercices, team members built a strategy to improve their teamwork and to achieve their full potential, both as an individual and as a team. This allows each team member to explore, challenge and better understand their identity and role within the team. It creates a strong understanding of the possibilities and challenges that the team is facing.

Collective Intelligence & Participative Dynamic

There are a lot of definitions of Collective Intelligence. The common point is levering the knowledges, the talents, the competencies of all individuals of a group to serve a common goal. This way of being and working together can also serve the governance of a group or company, allowing everybody to give his best, we are at that point moving to a participative governance.

Hero's Journey

The Hero ‘s Journey is a metaphor of all human transformational process. Based on Joseph Campbell’s work on universal myths found in every culture across time. There are three life paths that we can take: the village, the wasteland and the journey. Campbell’s notion of the hero’s journey provides a powerful road map for navigating the challenges of growth and change, especially change at the level of identity. On the journey, we follow our hearts, vision and calling to find our own way and discover something new. This is the path of all great leaders, entrepreneurs and pioneers. Through the challenges and discoveries along the path we acquire courage, insight, wisdom, resiliency and greater awareness of ourselves and the world.

Team Models

Team dynamics are the unconscious, psychological forces that influence the direction of a team's behaviour and performance. They are created by the nature of the team's work, the personalities within the team, each individual’s skills, their working relationships and interactions as well as the environment in which the team works and their relationships with other people they work with. Although team dynamics are very similar to group dynamics, there is an essential difference. Groups are a social community, consisting of several people who have something in common. A team is a special instance of a group in which the commonality is a shared goal. This fact, itself, creates a dynamic between team members because they are dependent on each other for success. For example, a sports team wins or loses as a whole. The creation of a team is a challenging adventure that undertakes a group of men and women assembled together around a common project : to succeed, they will have to develop their team dynamics and boost their collective intelligence that can be diagnosed in terms of maturity. Understanding the maturity of a team is useful to understand the origins of its potential dysfunction (O. Duvillard model). According to Lencioni who worked on the five dysfunctions of a team, making a team functional and cohesive requires levels of courage and discipline that many groups cannot seem to muster. This is where a team coach can help.
