Holding Space for Culture by Design

Join us for our 7th Volume of Facilitation Jam with ATÖLYE Community Member Patrik Somers, who will dive into the pivotal role of cultural and organizational health. The jam will equip facilitators with the knowledge, tools, and strategies to understand, shape, and nurture organizational culture intentionally. We will explore the critical link between culture and value creation while gaining practical skills for fostering cultural health and driving positive transformation. 

This workshop is ideal for social facilitators, change agents, corporate trainers, organizational development professionals, human resources practitioners, consultants, leadership coaches, and facilitators who are interested in values-based culture by design and conscious leadership as strategic priorities for optimal organizational health and value creation that uplifts all life.

By the end of the workshop, participants will:

• Gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental connection between culture, organizational health, and optimal value creation. 
• Acquire practical techniques and frameworks for assessing and interpreting organizational culture within the Middle Eastern context.
• Learn to design and facilitate interventions that support cultural transformation and cultivate a healthier organizational culture.
• Explore strategies for addressing cultural challenges and leveraging cultural strengths to drive enhanced engagement, performance and value creation.
• Develop an individualized action plan for applying the principles of holding space for culture by design within their respective organizational and community contexts.
