A workshop of two days to introduce IMO methodology. The first day introduces the main elements of IMO methodology and the second one will take place after one week from the first one. This is why you can explore the concepts and steps which will come out from the first workshop and reflect on them to learn from experience in the second one.
Leaders, managers, trainers, consultants and anyone interested in experimenting new ways for development in complex situations renewing the meaning of the work for themselves and for the people in the organization creating value for clients.
Today there is an increasing need to combine functional and hierarchical structures with interactive forms of leadership that put the client process in the center, activating and motivating people. Horizontal leadership is needed to generate organizations which integrate vertical spaces with horizontal ones, as modern communities of sustainable development and meaning.
The workshops can be inter-company (participants from different companies) or carried out within an organization.
IMO methodology used in the workshops allows you to move from the cognitive understanding of theoretical ideas to the generation of concrete actions for:
* the development of one’s leadership skills
* the initiation of organizational development processes integrating vertical spaces with horizontal ones.
This proven modular seminar of three two-days workshop is a powerful program for heads of departments, team leaders, managers. Based on IMO methodology, it is focused on the generation of horizontal leadership competences in a “horizontal space” which when integrated with the vertical one gives a life impulse to the organization. This creates development, sense for oneselves, for the collegues and for the company, helps to renew visions and behaviors by increasing self and context awareness, and client orientation.
What is horizontal leadership for integrated organizations: human being and organization in connection to sense making. Vertical and horizontal guidance. The framework of the four core qualities and competences of the horizontal leader. How to inspire, design and steer development processes. The art of designing the “next step” and giving the right rythm to a living organization.
How to start a personal leadership development process. Learning how to accompany people development and be able to make intervention to save the quality of processes for the working community. How to discover the question behind a problem and set up renewal processes actively and client-oriented.
The art of development: designing and steering processes, accompanying people in their development, intervening and inspiring are four kinds of dialogues, to help the leader and the organization community to deal with critical situations in a constructive way. This allows the organization community to become a community of horizontal leaders.
IMO provides Horizontal Leadership Masterclasses for leaders, managers, trainers and consultants. It is designed with the IMO methodology and will help participants to generate development at a personal level in the working situation by living strong change momentum in their own organization and their own biography.
We have a common format in different countries, it is a generative one and is focused on three parts working in alternate mode:
To give a new input about the organization and people development and help participants exercise how to connect this input to their personal working situation focusing on a next step.
During the two-day workshops, the main elements of the IMO methodology are presented: a developmental picture of the person and the organisation and their developmental connections. The methodology is then always proposed in concrete applications to one’s own work context through specific exercises that characterise the IMO methodology.
To make the decided step in the working situation by observing the consequences.
During the two-day workshops, the foundations will be laid for experiences based on new assumptions about the view of self, the context and self as co-creator of the context. It is necessary to overcome the old habitual thinking constructs that lead to recurring critical actions by concretely experiencing oneself differently in work and personal contexts. From new ideas come new possibilities for action and perception of contexts, it is the way of development that begins with the ‘next step’.
To reflect on the steps made by learning about personal developments and defining new steps.
It is a time of reflection guided by a particular creative work of transformative learning with IMO methodology. These moments make it possible to learn from experience and group work that opens up new avenues for one’s own development.
