Advanced Diploma in Systemic Transformation of Organisations

Building the capacity of leaders and organisations to transform and establish better ways of working - suitable for a changing world - in which the ability to keep evolving with the context is key.

Become an accredited systemic change leader and maximise the potential within yourself and your organisation.

The context for transforming organisations

Rule books everywhere are being discarded because they no longer fit. We need better insights, new methods, new skills and new ideas about how to do things, and how to take up all our roles with more connection, depth and meaning in order to generate fairer outcomes.

This requires a higher level of competence in understanding ambiguity and working with complexity, in order to collaborate openly, honestly and with creative emergence as the walls between organisations and hierarchies come down. In this way we learn to work together, passionately, to bring about a better world.

The programme develops change leaders who can lead and facilitate deep transformation across systems, connecting individuals, teams and organisations with the eco-systems of which they are part, in repurposing their organisations to be fit for the future.

The Diploma Experience

The programme contains four progressive Movements of Energy creating a journey of transformation. Most participants aim to graduate within 18 months of starting and have a clear sense of how they will be applying their learning, however, some decide to take longer in order to fully digest their experience and fit in with other commitments

The programme requires time, energy and presence and will support and enable your day to day work-life rather than impinge on it. Think of this as your “Camino”, your learning and reflective practice for the times ahead. Whatever pace you choose, you will join a worldwide community of like minds who are keen to connect and share their experiences. Participants enjoy networking with people around the world from walks of life they may not usually meet.

"What attracted me to the Diploma were the people. I was immediately fascinated by how they thought, how they looked at the world and how they conducted themselves. I am extremely happy with the instructors; it is very much a collegial approach, and they emphasise that they are constantly learning as we are. I would highly encourage people to consider this programme."

The programme is structured to suit varying types of experience and development needs, including leaders who are interested in the methods but do not necessarily need the professional coaching qualification. Prior experience can also reduce the time and cost required for accreditation.
