An Aikido Theorie for U
steering big changes together

As a team, how can you keep on navigating and innovating in a constantly changing world?

The Theory U of Otto Scharmer provides a powerful philosophy about change management. For many organisations and teams it is a valuable guideline for enabling successful change.
With the teambuilding program, an Aikido Theory for U, you will work on the development of a new team spirit which allows your team to achieve strategic changes. Acting with agility means embracing your appreciation for each other and engaging your talents from a place of curiosity toward a connected and effective team.

Over the course of five workshops, you will develop team-qualities - social intelligence and joined intention - together with your team, through experience based exercises. This leads to collective innovative power. We achieve breakthroughs by linking the Theory U with fresh and practical Aikido exercises. Together with your team you will start to feel and experience the changes. In this way you develop the necessary trust and understanding in order to steer big changes together.

Workshop 1 – In connection inspire each other
Big changes start with inspiration. What would it be like to get in a flow as a team and really listen to each other, without judging? In this workshop you will experience the felt effect of ignoring the NO. Sharing inspiration and seeking new solutions together. Moving forwards as a team, is a wonderful experience.

Workshop 2 – Develop collective senses
What is essential for the direction and energy of a group process? Which sources of inspiration need to come together in order to change? Not just as an individual, but on the contrary, learning to listen and think collectively is the key to true change. In this workshop you will be challenged as a team to dive into the deep and share the hunches of most potential.

Workshop 3 – In the team: who am I, what is my work?
How do you prevent regressing into old solutions? From which source to you collect the necessary creative change? In this workshop you will discover which unique contribution you can give to the team. Together each of you will look for their own inner motivation in order to get access to a joint intention and hold one another in the highest possible future.

Workshop 4 –Creating a shared intention
Nothing is as strong as the power of intention. What form does this joint intention take in practice? It is now imperative to develop strategic prototypes. We do this in this workshop by letting head, heart and hands work together. A beautiful iterative process of repeating, failing and continuing to work on a new direction and form.

Workshop 5 – Innovating together and co-evolving
In-depth innovation is about learning to act from the emerging whole. You don’t do this alone, also not just as a team, but in the environment that is involved. What do you need for this? In this workshop you will learn to consciously direct your awareness and respond to each other. This allows you to keep moving collectively, in connection with the constantly changing world.

Do you recognise this? Successfully responding to and achieving change often fails due to habitual behaviours.
It is not necessarily unwillingness. Human nature and reality simply are obstinate.
Your potential to navigate change stands or falls with your ability to break through fixed patterns and habits and subsequently substituting them with new ones.
That requires courage!
My work will support you to grow and practice this courage.
