Networks can work wonders for your business. Why not improve leadership skills and management performance in your business through professional networks? Network learning is a way of interactive learning that activates the tacit knowledge of your business. How does one create a learning environment where mutual learning takes place when leaders and managers meet? One answer is professionally facilitated networks. Business networks support knowledge sharing, best practice, inspiration, innovation, and sharing of experiences. Moreover, networking can reduce misunderstandings between departments because the participants gain an understanding of the business as a whole. At the same time, they improve as leaders and managers because they learn from each other. This session will cover the tools you need to initiate and facilitate networks in your business. You will learn how to build, invigorate, and support networks. You will learn how to evaluate and measure the effect of networks in your business and examine the necessary skills for the key person in building networks: You, the facilitator. You will take away the five golden rules of how to develop networks. The learning that takes place in a network is different from courses with curricula. The network is a learning setup where the framework is provided by the facilitator, but the content is co-created and co-directed by the participants. The strength of network learning is that it addresses the problems and challenges of today and tomorrow--not of yesterday. The speaker will show examples of how networks can contribute to organizations and the skills necessary to facilitate networks. The session will be facilitated with networking principles and a high level of interactivity, in both content and form.
