关于我们

Since its founding in 1987, Community At Work has been both a think tank and a consulting firm. Our motto is “building models of collaboration and putting them into practice.” AS A THINK TANK Our purpose is to study the actual dynamics of collaboration and group decision-making – and to build more accurate models – in order to support people to find sustainable solutions to the world’s toughest problems. We take pride in combining insights from psychology and the other human sciences with the practical ingenuity of the business community, grounded in a philosophy of social responsibility. AS A CONSULTING FIRM We are organization development professionals. We specialize in providing collaborative approaches that enable our clients to address their most perplexing, system-level challenges. Our services have been put to good use in many different work settings, from high tech to health care. Over time we have developed content expertise in social entrepreneurship, community-based planning, and social enterprise. We also have numerous clients in education, human services, environmental health and international development. To support our clients in their work we employ a variety of consulting competencies: we assess and diagnose; we facilitate; we coach; we create, test and produce relevant models; we project-manage; we advise; we conduct training to build capacity – all this and more, as dictated by the needs at hand. A distinctive feature of our work is a determination to support our clients to think intelligently about the challenges they face. We are committed to helping people learn skills for putting participatory values into practice. To this end we provide clients with training in the concepts and skills of collaboration.

    ?? When a transformational book leads to a blossoming practice – that we can support... ?? The book ‘the Facilitator’s guide to participatory decision-making’ (Sam Kaner et al.) has profoundly transformed my way of looking at collaboration, facilitation and team work. ? ??? The theory is clear, with sharp language, grounded in the reality as we actually experience it, not in a wishful idealistic thinking kind of way. ???? The practice that the book is embedded in is unbelievably rich, reflecting the 40+ years of experience of Community At Work in guiding groups to give their best thinking and achieve sustainable outcomes whether in an organisation or in multi-stakeholder collaboratives. ? ?? For these reasons, I consider the the Facilitator’s guide to participatory decision-making a bible of collaboration, facilitation and teamwork. ? ???? I have been privileged to follow Community At Work’s 'Group Facilitation Skills' training as a participant, and have been even more privileged to be instructed by some of the book authors, including its lead Sam Kaner and partner Nelli Noakes, to dispense this training. ? ???? With an incredible joy, pride, and some humility, I am delighted to announce that I will be hosting this ‘Group Facilitation Skills’ training again, this time in the Netherlands, in May of this year. ? ???? Whether you are a team leader, manager, facilitator/trainer/consultant, this foundational training course may rewire your brains on everything collaboration and facilitation the way it did to me some nearly 10 years ago. ?? Whether you’re struggling to understand how group dynamics work, you are keen on unleashing everyone’s brilliance in collaborative efforts, you want to do a better job at making clear decisions with results that stick, or you want to beef up your in-the-room facilitation or process design capacities, this training course has something solid to offer. ? ???? Join us asap and enjoy a one-of-a-kind discount just for the re-launch of this course in Europe. ?? Together with my friend and business partner Louelle Seelmann, we welcome you in The Hague 29-31 May 2024 for three dazzling days of practice, learning and feedback, with dashes of delicious and extremely practical theory! ? ?? Don’t miss out! ?? (link coming up in comments) PS. Oh and bonus: if you join the training, you get your free copy of the 'Facilitator’s guide to participatory decision-making' ;)
