- Interdepartmental co-development group
Interdepartmental co-development group Looking for a practice-based development activity? Feeling isolated and want to connect with your peers? Do you want to develop your leadership skills? Feeling like you’re at an impasse with a situation? Are you wondering how to have a difficult conversation? Would you like to improve your communication skills (active listening and giving feedback)? Join an interdepartmental co-development group, in English or French, led by a manager-coach.
What is a codevelopment group?
- A group of people who help each other in their respective development.
- A training approach that allows people to learn from each other in order to improve and consolidate their management practices.
- A structured consultation exercise that focuses on real situations.
- Members take turns acting as clients, presenting a real situation, and as consultants, helping the client to enrich their understanding and capacity for action. Consultants are encouraged to ask questions rather than suggest explanations and solutions.
- Participants are encouraged to complete a personal diary to identify and document what they have learned in each session, and thus achieve long-term change.
- Facilitated by a facilitator (trained to manage the consultation process).
- With a commitment to continuity, attendance, confidentiality and adherence to agreed rules.
Time investment: In general, members meet once a month for 3 hours and sessions are from October to June.
What it takes to be a participant
- Minimum of one year’s experience in management/supervision.
- Available for managers (EX level).
- Commitment to attend meetings.
- Obtain approval from your immediate supervisor.
What it takes to be a facilitator (coach)
