About the Course

The course will be led by Rob Evans and Carolyn Buck Luce. Participants will receive personal copies of Patterns, Tools, and Models, three volumes of the Collaboration Code™, the state-of-the-art system for collaborative working ($495 value).

  • Understand and apply the essential patterns, models, and core principles of collaborative work

  • Expand practical strategies for selling to and working effectively with client executives and organizational leaders at all levels

  • Master a comprehensive set of workshop modules, tools, and models and understand where and how to apply them in large group, multi-day workshops – both in-person and online

  • Design workshops to deal successfully with complex challenges (the course includes practice designing for existing clients with detailed feedback from Rob and Carolyn)

  • Reduce risk in the sales and delivery of the most difficult projects

  • Increase competence – and confidence – in leading groups to successful outcomes in person and virtually

This class is not appropriate for novice facilitators. Participants must have previously demonstrated familiarity with the core elements of facilitation: effective listening, basic workshop design, stage presence, etc.
