BREAKFAST AT CONTRACT SOUTH AFRICA

14 June 2012

Join us for an informal and interactive discussion, focusing on what is relevant to our clients and stakeholders!

Breakfast topic: A Demonstration of Appreciative Inquiry in Action

Facilitators: Marguerite Sacco Turner and Karen Pratt

Appreciative Inquiry is a collaborative, strengths-based programme that enables sustainable, transformative change in human systems. It is used in team development, problem solving and strategic planning. Rather than focusing on problems, it elicits solutions. It encourages groups to shift their way of doing and being to an appreciative approach that focuses on what is right in their group. It is a process that brings about choice, understanding, attention to detail and responsibility and accountability. For whole organisations it is a most powerful way to rapidly affect and manage change.  The process is designed to powerfully engage every single person in the change process, getting their buy in almost at the speed of light!

At this breakfast you will experience a talk and demonstration of this exciting, ground-breaking  methodology and philosophy

THE CONTRACT SA TEAM

What Phil says about himself:

I have worked in learning and organisational development for 20 years but started my career in retail management, where I was a store manager for a few years.  It was where I gained my interest in working with lots of people and have been fortunate enough to have worked in an industry that has allowed me to do that ever since.  I made the transition through a 6 month secondment to develop a supervisor training course and liked it so much I never went back.  Since then I have worked in Deloitte’s Human Capital practice where I learnt how to work with clients, and then built my own business, which operated successfully for 10 years. 

I lived and worked in the UK until 2 years ago, where I specialised in personal and leadership assessment and development.  During that time I have been fortunate enough to have worked with many leading UK based organisations; businesses such as Marks & Spencer, Boots the Chemists, Linklaters, Gap, Severn Trent Water and Deloitte.  Over the past year I have started working with CONTRACT SA, enjoying their flexible, informal but professional style and passion for client-centred excellence, which is rare to find whichever country you live in! 

I am a quietly confident, warm and friendly person who is sensitive to others’ needs and behaviour.  People tell me that I listen well and can understand and explain complexities in an engaging and understandable way.  I enjoy creating new or different ways of doing things, meeting lots of interesting people and the variety of working with different organisations. I have a reputation for delivering results efficiently and effectively with a calm, measured, style.

I am now permanently based in Cape Town and I love the weather, food, wine and outdoor lifestyle that South Africa offers.  I do miss pubs, skiing in Europe, my friends, family and the Brit sense of humour, but clearly not the cold and rain!!

What we say about Phil:

Phil has brought a great energy into our team. He’s not only fun and easy to work with, but also brings in his extensive experience and wonderful ideas how we can serve our clients better. With him, we now also have a real specialist on assessment and development centres in our team!

Like the rest of our team, he has a passion for good wine. His British English adds to the diversity of accents in our team and we love his sense of humour!

Breakfast topic

The use of Transactional Analysis (TA) as a development instrument in Organisations – Part 2

We will work with a different set of models to the first workshop, so there is no catching up to do if you did not attend the first one.

TA models are most often used in organisations as communication and interpersonal skills tools. This workshop will give you insight into the use of TA models as they are applied in Organisational Development.
