SUMMARY:Working with Resistance: A Deep Democracy Approach
DESCRIPTION:As facilitators\, our job is to help diverse groups come together\, engage in dialogues that encourage positive collaboration across differences\, enable groups to overcome resistance\, access more of the wisdom inherent in the system\, and craft solutions that stick. Resistance is a dynamic that slows down or sometimes even blocks the system from moving toward a decision.  \nIn this session\, participants learn about the Lewis Deep Democracy\, which was developed in South Africa after the fall of apartheid to help organizations recover from the legacy of racism. We will share a tool to diagnose resistance in a system. We will focus our attention on our inner systems and reflect on where we are with resistance. We will search for the answer to “what is needed to work with resistance” by using self as a fractal of the systems we work with.  \nParticipants will gain a tool for diagnosing resistance as well as deeper insight into the dynamics of resistance in themselves and in groups. \nLearning Objectives  \nIn this session\, participants will: \n\n\nLearn a tool to diagnose if everything is said in a group: The Resistance Line\nGain insight into personal Resistance Line Behavior\nGain Deeper awareness about a current resistance one is having\n\n\nNOTE: This workshop will be recorded for distribution to all who register (breakout rooms will not be recorded). \nPresenters: Maya Townsend and Ipek Utun

SUMMARY:The Human-Centered Organization: OD's Role in Bringing Radical Humanity to the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Maya Townsend \nIn November 2022\, an international group of business leaders and thinkers asked: “What are organizations centered around?” The answers were telling: Leaders. Operations. Profit. Customers. Managers. Money. Notably missing from the list were purpose\, human well-being\, learning\, and growth. \nMany of today’s organizations replicate the Taylorist model\, which believes employees are tools to be used\, not human beings with ideas\, energy\, needs\, or rights. What would our organizations look like if we treated people as unique and valuable? If we conceived of people as our most valuable source of organizational energy and contribution rather than a cost to be managed? \nThe field of OD is grounded in humanistic values. Many of us strive to help our clients become more just\, democratic\, and collaborative. In this session\, participants will: \n\nExplore what organizations would look like if we truly centered our businesses around human dignity\, learning\, and well-being.\nConsider/learn the impacts of human centering on practices such as appraising performance\, hiring\, onboarding\, and managing.\nLeave with new ideas and inspiration for OD’s role in developing vibrant\, energized\, human-centered organizations.

SUMMARY:Racial Justice Community of Practice: The Deep Democracy Approach
DESCRIPTION:Conversations about racial justice often involve hearing viewpoints that differ from your own\, and have the potential to evoke deep emotions. One approach to facilitating such conversations is called Deep Democracy\, a method developed in South Africa during the transition from apartheid to democracy. We’ll hear from two Deep Democracy practitioners\, Maya Townsend & İpek Ütün\, and discuss how the method’s basic principles of ensuring everyone can say what they think\, and hear from others who disagree with them\, lends itself to the tough conversations we need to have around racial equity and justice. \nPlease note that this is for MAFN members only and there is limited space\, so please register early.\n \nOur guiding principles are: \n\n\nCome open to learning (growth mindset)\nNot expert led- hosted by peers with space to learn from all\nBring your questions\, share your expertise\n\n\nONLINE CoP Discussion REMINDERS \n\nIf you register and cannot attend\, please cancel to allow someone else to come. \nRegistration closes at midnight the day before the discussion group.\nRegistered participants will receive instructions for joining the live session and any additional details 1 day in advance and the morning of the event. Please be sure to look for the link in your email.\nMAFN CoP discussions will not be recorded in order to support space for learning.\nFor registration or membership questions contact info@mafn.org.

SUMMARY:Deep Democracy and Organization Development: A New Approach to Resistance and Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:The idea that every consulting project will go smoothly\, without a bit of conflict\, is a lovely dream. But it’s just that: a dream. Whenever people come together to share expertise\, design something\, or implement a plan\, we encounter differences\, yet people at work are not adept at creating healthy spaces to explore opposing points of view. \nFrequently\, one point of view wins while other views go underneath the surface and turn into resistance. Unfortunately\, these voices of resistance often represent those who hold lower positional power in our organizations\, who belong to groups that have been marginalized within the United States\, or who simply represent ways of thinking—voices that are desperately needed in order to sustain resilient\, flexible\, and agile organizations. Many times\, organizational leaders find out too late that there was truth in what the voices of resistance had to say and regret not understanding this truth sooner. As OD practitioners\, we have many tools that can help people have conversations in productive ways. \nIn this session\, we will introduce participants to the Lewis Method of Deep Democracy\, a methodology created in South Africa to help organizations recover from the trauma of apartheid and develop equitable organizations. Deep Democracy uses a group-as-a-whole perspective to help shift participants away from individualistic blaming and shaming to collective explorations of what is valued\, important\, and necessary. The tools are simple enough to be learned quickly. They can be used for a range of situations from light\, cognitive differences of opinion to deep\, emotional conflicts in values. Please join us if you are interested in adding a new tool to your toolkit for working with resistance\, change\, conflict\, and collaboration. \nA recording will be sent to attendees following the webinar\, and will be available for on-demand purchase within three business days. \nFee\nOD Network Members: $25\nNon-Members: $45 \nSHRM Professional Development Credits \nOD Network is recognized by SHRM to offer Professional Development Credits (PDCs) for the SHRM-CP℠ or SHRM-SCP℠.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Deep Democracy: A New View into Resistance and Conflict
DESCRIPTION:As facilitators\, our job is to help diverse groups come together\, negotiate differences\, and craft solutions that stick. Too often\, however\, group members nod their heads\, but don’t really agree. Their concerns go under the surface. Occasionally\, these concerns become conflicts so large that they threaten to divide a team or undermine a project. In order to achieve real commitment—and to create spaces in which people can disagree and share divergent perspectives safely—we need new methods and tools. \nIn this session\, participants learn about the Lewis Method of Deep Democracy\, which was developed in South Africa after the fall of apartheid to help organizations recover from the legacy of racism. We will share three Deep Democracy tools: a facilitator-friendly method for surfacing differences in a group\, a tool for diagnosing resistance\, and a method for working with conflict. \nAfterwards\, if time permits\, we may have time for open discussion and networking. \nLearning Objectives\nIn this session\, participants will: \n\nLearn how a Conversation in Motion can surface perspectives and uncover hidden issues\nUse the Resistance Line to identify and diagnose hidden resistance\nPractice the Debate tool for leading a group safely through a conflict\n\nSpeakers\nMaya Townsend brings diverse groups together to tackle complex\, systemic challenges. She works with corporations\, community groups\, and nonprofits to help identify strategy\, mobilize networks\, lead change\, and resolve conflict.

SUMMARY:From Commitment and Action: Uncovering and Addressing Hidden Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Too often\, employees learn that the politically sound choice is to agree—even if they don’t. Concerns go under the surface and important viewpoints aren’t discussed. Occasionally\, concerns become conflicts so large that they threaten to divide a team or undermine a project. \nIn this online\, on-demand session\, participants will learn about the Resistance Line\, which helps diagnose and address hidden resistance. This technique is an outgrowth of the Deep Democracy methodology\, which was developed in South Africa after the fall of apartheid to help organizations recover from the legacy of racism. We will also discuss how to intervene when there is tension in teams and how to prevent tensions from erupting into harmful conflict. \n2021 HBA Annual Conference: Registration\nMembers or Employees of Corporate Partners: $425 (Aug 28 to Oct 22) / $525 (Oct 23 to Nov 12)\nNon-Members: $600 (Aug 28 to Oct 22) / $700 (Oct 23 to Nov 12)

SUMMARY:Need Resilience? Look to Your Networks
DESCRIPTION:One constant throughout tumultuous 2020 has been change. Organizations have been faced with unprecedented challenges that have forced them to rethink\, retrench\, rejigger\, and revitalize. One more “re” word has been necessary: resilience. The traumas of the past year have wounded individuals and organizations and made even more evident the need for resiliency. \nIn this session\, we will focus on where resiliency lives in organizations: in their networks. Networks are the webs of informal relationships that people create in order to complete routine work\, make decisions\, solve problems\, and respond to changing conditions. They are more flexible and agile than organizational hierarchies and better prepared to respond to change. We will discuss how participants can leverage the power of networks to support strategy formulation and implementation.

SUMMARY:Deep Democracy: First Aid for Conflict
DESCRIPTION:Disagreements often are avoided or swept under the rug in organizations. Occasionally\, disagreements become conflicts so large that they threaten to divide a team\, create a toxic working environment\, or undermine a project. \nConflict doesn’t have to be destructive. It is both common and inevitable. With skill and awareness\, we can use conflict to develop deeper understandings\, uncover unexamined assumptions\, and reveal hidden wisdom. \nIn this session\, we will introduce participants to First Aid for Polarization. This technique\, an outgrowth of the Deep Democracy method\, allows people to engage in one-on-one conversations about tensions\, differences of opinion\, and divisive issues—political or work-related. We will learn the method and then practice it. Participants will leave with the ability to engage in First Aid for Conflict with the people in their lives as well as with work colleagues and clients. \nTakeaways \n\nUnderstanding of the Resistance Line\, a tool for diagnosing conflict\nAbility to lower the waterline and identify underlying dynamics contributing to conflict\nPractice using the First Aid for Conflict method to engage in 1:1 conversations about differences of opinion\, disagreements\, and divisive conflicts\n\nFacilitators: Maya Townsend and Lauren Powers

SUMMARY:Stop Fighting Fires\, Start Shifting Patterns: Using Network Knowledge to Shape Change
DESCRIPTION:The ONA Summit is a unique opportunity to learn from international thought leaders about how networks of trust and data-driven insights can help you accelerate transformation across your organization. This pandemic has significantly challenged your organization\, teams\, work culture\, and workflows. Trust plays a key role in how your organization adapts to the “new normal” and how the crisis will affect the engagement and productivity of your people. \nHowever\, building and strengthening trusting relationships among your employees has never been more important than now. Use this interactive opportunity to learn how to navigate the uncertainties and nurture a productive and constructive organization – one that will continue to provide value and have a positive social impact on the world. \nPartnering Resources founder Maya Townsend will present “Stop Fighting Fires\, Start Shifting Patterns: Using Network Knowledge to Shape Change.” The session will ask: \n\nHow can we see beyond events to the network patterns that influence change?\nHow can we use network knowledge to influence change more effectively?\n\nThe session will be followed by a panel discussion in which Maya and other presenters will discuss how to use networks to support change.

SUMMARY:A New View into Change Leadership: Leveraging the Power of Networks
DESCRIPTION:More information coming soon!\n \nLeaders intuitively know that informal influencers can help make or break a change effort. However\, the change management profession doesn’t yet have a clearly articulated\, well-practiced methodology for identifying influencers or using network strategies to support change. In this technology-powered workshop\, we build network intelligence while learning a simple tool for mapping and analyzing organizational networks and influencers. \nThis workshop covers two topics: \n\nChange in the Networked World. Change worked differently before organizations were deeply networked. Now that they are\, you need to understand networks and the tricks to accelerating change within them.\nUnlocking the Wisdom in Network Maps to Support Change. Network maps provide a snapshot of how information flows within an organization. We’ll look at a map collectively and learn how to interpret it and use the findings to fine-tune a change initiative.\n\nJoin me online for this on-demand session!

SUMMARY:Our Organizations are Networks: Why Don't We Use Them for Communication and Leadership?
DESCRIPTION:Now an online event! \nAlmost every organization now relies on communication networks to share information and mobilize collective action. Yet leaders rarely take a thoughtful\, planful approach to leveraging networks. In this workshop\, we will learn how to use networks to support effective communication and change. \nThis workshop covers three topics: \n\nThe Networked Organization. A healthy networked organization has certain qualities. How healthy is your organization? Learn about the shifts needed to develop a robust\, productive networked organization.\nCommunication in the Networked World. Communication worked differently before organizations were networked. Now that they are\, you need to understand networks and the tricks to accelerating change within them.\nUsing Network Maps to Strengthen Communication.

In fact\, networking can be radically different. \nIn this webinar\, Maya Townsend will share how to get back in touch with the core purpose of networking. Participants will learn how to create sustainable practices that work for introverts\, engineers\, scientists\, technologists\, and others who may shy from traditional networking expectations. She will touch on the important role of mentors and sponsors and share simple actions that significantly increase the health of your network. You will learn: \n\nThe real purpose of networking\nThree networks everyone needs and how to develop them\nThe critical roles of a mentor and sponsor and how to fill those roles\nSimple and sustainable networking techniques that are well suited to introverts\, scientists\, technologists and engineers

SUMMARY:Influencers: The Key to Organization Change
DESCRIPTION:~~ Spotlight session at the inaugural Maven7 users’ conference.~~\n \nOrganization change success remains elusive. After years of research and practice\, organizations still struggle to achieve their change goals. In this session\, we will discuss six ways of creating change and delve into most neglected resource for change success: influencers. Found in every organization or network\, they have disproportionate impact on the whole. We will discuss how organizations have used influencers successfully and share case studies to inspire participants to leverage influencers in their next change initiative.

SUMMARY:Is Your Strategy Stuck in the 20th Century?: Rethinking Our Assumptions about What Makes Organizations Thrive
DESCRIPTION:Today\, the world is a much different place than it was twenty years ago. Yet\, in OD and the organizational world\, we still rely on strategies that were developed in the 20th century (and a few that were developed over 2000 years ago). We need to move beyond old methods to what works in our connected\, global\, rapidly changing world. In this active\, engaging webinar\, we’ll discuss the five common assumptions about strategy\, based on deeply ingrained thinking about organizations. We’ll explore new pathways towards helping organizations thrive. \nParticipants will leave with increased clarity about: \n\nHow their work is tied to the five common assumptions about strategy;\nHow disrupting some of those assumptions might benefit their work and their organizations; and\nWhat alternatives exist to the five assumptions and how to integrate them into their practices.\n\nFee\nOD Network Members: $15\nNon-Members: $25 \nMaya Townsend helps individuals\, teams\, and organizations thrive in our networked world. Through her company\, Partnering Resources\, she uses the science underlying human relationships to make soft skills generate hard results. Her strategy\, change\, and network clients range from Fortune 50 to small NGOs. \nMaya serves on the Editorial Review Board for OD Practitioner. Her articles are regularly published by venues such as Inc.com\, CIO.Com\, People + Strategy\, and Nonprofit Quarterly. Co-editor of The Handbook for Strategic HR\, Maya will happily tell you why you should throw out your performance reviews and why most HR departments need a total makeover. \nMartha Miser focuses on disrupting organizations\, so that people think differently about themselves and their relationships\, leading to client organizations that are more awake\, more passionate\, more human and more focused – all of which adds up to better business results. Her company\, Aduro Consulting\, serves a broad range of both domestic and multinational companies. \nPrior to starting her consulting business\, Martha held leadership positions in several organizations\, including Global Head of Leadership and Change for ING Bank in the Netherlands. Her newsletter\, Exploring Leadership\, examines the unique challenges of 21st-century leadership.

DESCRIPTION:The Shifts You and Your Company Need to Make in Order to Thrive in the 21st Century\nPresented by Maya Townsend and Martha Miser\n\nToday\, the world is a much different place than it was twenty years ago.

SUMMARY:Smarter Networking 101
DESCRIPTION:Bust the Myths\, Avoid the Awkwardness\, and Weave Valuable Connections\nHave you ever wondered why networking feels so difficult? Why you struggle to get the results you want? \nThe answer is easy: what we know as networking was designed for extroverts and salespeople. Luckily\, it’s not the only way. The New Networking draws on the science of networks to uncover methods that work. Real\, practical methods of developing and sustaining the relationships you need to be successful. \nIn this webinar\, we learn about the science behind networking and how that science can help you make connections successfully and strategically. We draw on insights from researchers and practitioners in the social sciences and business to learn about the networking practices of high performers. We dispel the myth that people who want strong networks should never eat alone and\, instead\, we learn about the simple actions that significantly contribute to the health of your network. \nParticipants Take Away: \n\nInsight into some of the science behind networking\nUnderstanding of the three networks everyone needs and how to develop them\nA roster of effective networking practices to use when you don’t feel like going to an open networking event\nA first pass analysis of your network’s strengths and gaps\n\nDate: Friday\, January 26. 1pm ET / 12pm CT / 11am MT / 10am PT \nRegister Now for the free Webinar
