PHOENIX PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT CENTRE

Scarce skills in a tight labour market
(or, the war for talent)

The boundaries between employers and employees are becoming less clear - ambiguity and uncertainty prevail. This makes for a tense atmosphere in which it is difficult to build trust and confidence. Employers are becoming increasingly aware that to live through these tensions requires an approach, awareness and a maturity from both parties.

Those organisations that have teams and individuals that are genuinely comfortable with ambiguity and uncertainty are the ones that will flourish. For the organisation, and its individuals, to work to full potential there must be the capacity at every level to: be authentic, lead, learn, share, be flexible, and respect diversity.

The PPDC is responding to the vital development needs of progressive organisations and individuals.

These courses and workshops can be open programmes or tailored to the specific needs of the organisation. For individuals, not necessarily as part of open or tailored programmes, we can provide personalised support through mentoring and coaching on a one-to-one basis.

This is a series of programmes for those, at any level, who have to respond to the pressing dilemmas of today's organisational kaleidoscope. Participants are kindred spirits who work at the leading edge of those processes which truly affect change. Their aim is to see differently so as to improve their personal effectiveness and the quality of their organisation. They are special in that they:

acknowledge that organisations need to work with the unstated
can challenge organisational conventions
accept that change only has a pattern on hindsight
recognise that complexity and ambiguity are essential parts of change

All who come will enjoy reaching for their more evocative thoughts and developing clarity of vision as our expert facilitators, Danielle Douglas and Roger Hurley and their team, share leading edge approaches to organisational development and the insights of many years of working closely and quietly at every level.
