Gathering as a Cultural Practice
The success of gathering lies in the "way" an organization approaches
the who, what, where, when, how and why they gather.
the who, what, where, when, how and why they gather.
We assist our Clients with reorienting the way they relate to gathering culture in their organization. Whether routine team meetings, special events, or training and development programs, we catalyze the integration of a consciousness regarding attendee emergent experience, as an essential ingredient of organization-wide gathering culture and practice. This, in service to increasing attendance, engagement, and experiential derived value for all participants.
Through this practice our clients transform their meeting culture, bringing gatherings to a higher level of connection and engagement among participants, and heightened experience of perceived power and realized potential such event enhancement provides.
The design and creation of the “Space” within which meetings, events or programs
is held extends beyond physical facilities, catering, and technology, or prescriptive project management or productivity practices. The way in which an organization relates to its meeting culture, in answering the questions, who, what, where, when, how, and why a gathering is convened is an essential ingredient to enable truly emergent sharing and exchange on a deeper and more affective level for all participants.
Safe spaces for profound dialogues rooted in powerful human connection that enable the art of deep listening and authentic expression are often non-existent within today’s complex, driven, and productivity-centered organizations.
If meeting and event planning can be elevated, on an organization-wide gathering culture level, and integrated into existing meeting, event, and program practices, Conversational Space Design can exponentially enhance individual and collective engagement, collaboration, innovation, and achievement of the greatest generative potential, for all attendees.
