Event	:	Authority, Leadership and Innovation: 14th Edition of the Italian Group Relations Conference
Venue	:	Varese Lake, Italy
Date	:	24/02/2011
Duration	:	4 days
Extra Info	:	ALI is a residential experiential group relations conference working as a "temporary organization". Its "primary task" is to study authority, leadership, and innovation as it happens. Learning from the experience of what unfolds is fostered by keeping in mind the social, systemic, & unconscious processes which inform relationships among people in groups and organizations. These influence both the production and the loss of efficiency and creativity on one hand, and the management or resistance to change on the other. Understanding these dynamics is very important for managers, leaders and trainers, and in general for anyone who wishes to be effective and task oriented. ALI will provide an organizational experience of participation as members in a managed environment. The aim is to study oneself in the context of the task, of the group and of the inter-group processes. ALI represents a unique opportunity to learn from experience: the residential setting is an essential component of the learning process. By living and working together for 4 days, and with the consultants' help, participants will be able to observe and study in the "here and now" the relational and organizational processes that may go unnoticed in their daily environment. Particular emphasis is placed on applying what is learned to the working context of the participants. The members backgrounds will bring different perspectives to the issues at hand. ALI includes multiple events and variously sized groups which facilitate a mix of learning experiences. This unique and sophisticated training model is informed by the work, research and tradition of the TAVISTOCK Clinic and is associated with the "Leicester Conference" approach. ALI is specially suited for those employed in industry and trade, public administration, social and health services, education, the administration of justice, charitable and no-profit organizations. The prerequisite is a real desire to learn from participation in the Conference experience. The working language will be Italian. English can be a second language depending on membership registration. Groups may be both in Italian and in English. Foreign participants are encouraged to register even if they are not fully fluent in Italian, as the experience of working in two languages offers an opportunity for observing unchallenged Residential Group Relations Conference Please visit the website (address below) for details of this event.
