Integrative Development: It’s Time for a New Story about Change
Come learn about a new body of work that turns our thinking about development and change on its head.
If people are to work at their best amid continuous change they need to learn and develop in fundamentally new ways and be able to contribute to the ongoing evolution of how work is done. This requires us to move on from pedagogical paradigms based in the industrial age. This presentation will introduce you to Integrative Development as a new paradigm that:
- Combines adult learning & development and organization learning & development to create a unified theory and process.
- Brings together three disciplines (coaching, training, OD) so people and organizations can change and develop at the same time so they both flourish.
- Addresses three areas of development (Mindset, Behavior, Environment,) and aligns them with core Aspirations to create more sustainable growth (BEAM).
Integrative Development shifts the frame from cascades to campfires. Its features include:
- Mindsets are key and real processes are used as developmental incubators.
- Investments are inverted so more resources are available at the end.
- People identify their learning/development needs as they progress.
- Resources are curated, leveraged and available to all who want it.
- A coaching mindset and practices are embedded in every process.
You will learn the key elements of integrative development and hear two cases where it has been used to design innovative, coaching-driven change initiatives.
