Systems-Centered® Training Workshops An Innovative Approach to Integrating Differences in the Context of Change 20-23 January 2014 Stockholm, Sweden For Clinicians, Consultants, Managers, Leaders and Curious People Susan P. Gantt, Ph.D. with Sven-Erik Viskari, BA and Erika Ekedal, MSc Building a Systems-Centered Group 20-22 January 09.00 – 17.00 Workshop Design This workshop offers two levels of training: the Foundation Level and the Intermediate Level. Both Foundation and Intermediate members will work in their own small groups and have an opportunity to observe each other’s groups. The Foundation Group For members new to SCT and those wanting to develop their SCT skills in building a systems-centered group. Members will learn: • functional subgrouping as a method of conflict resolution • how to modify the restraining forces that inhibit change • the “fork-in-the-road” of choice between explaining conflicts and exploring them • to manage and weaken the familiar “one-up, one-down” role relationships • how to work in a systems-centered group on reactions to authority The Intermediate Group With endorsement from their SCT training group leaders, members will work in an SCT group to explore the dynamics in each of the phases of system development. Members will learn: • the conflicts in each of the phases of system development • their own role responses in each phase • the challenges of moving from person to member in each phase of system development Container Training A step towards leadership for intermediate and advanced members. Members will join the Foundation Group experiential sessions in the Container role, with process time in between sessions. If you are interested in Container Training, contact Rowena Davis (rdavis@rdaconsulting.net) who is leading the Container Training. If you need assistance in determining whether the Foundation or Intermediate Group or Container Training is the better training context for your work, contact Susan Gantt at sgantt@systemscentered.com or Sven-Erik Viskari at sven-erik.viskari@telia.com Using Systems-Centered Functional Subgrouping to Support Team Development 23 January 09.00 – 17.00 SCT sees team development as a function of the team’s ability to integrate its differences and use differences as resources rather than avoid them or stereotype them or convert them or scapegoat them. Systems-centered’s functional subgrouping contains the two sides of every conflict so that the differences can be explored as resources. This lowers scapegoating and enables a different group climate that helps teams develop from simpler to more complex. Members will learn: • to use functional subgrouping to support team development • to build a climate that makes it easier for everyone to contribute their differences as resources • to explore and integrate differences instead of ignoring or scapegoating them • to make group decisions with an openness to new information that supports adaptions to a changing world.

Systems-Centered Training Workshops for clinicians, consultants, managers, leaders and curious people Systems-Centered Training (SCT®) introduces: • functional subgrouping as a method for resolving conflicts • alternatives to noisy communication • how to move from self-centered to systems-centered Functional Subgrouping: Resolving conflicts and building a system that uses differences as resources for work The human challenge is how to integrate differences rather than avoid them or stereotype them or convert them or scapegoat them. Functional subgrouping introduces a method for containing the two sides of every conflict so that the differences can be explored and integrated. This lowers scapegoating and enables a different group climate, one more compatible with the conditions that facilitate exploration, openness and the neuroception of safety. Differences then become resources rather than problems. Communications That Work: Taking the noise out of “talk” Every communication contains both information and noise. The more noise in a communication, the less the message is received. SCT teaches skills for filtering the noise out of “talk” so the message gets heard. From Personalizing to Systems-Centered: Not taking things just personally Personal habitual roles hijack us to past conflicts. Functional roles enable us to live in the present. In the present, we can contribute to the systems that matter to us and we can learn to see ourselves in context, not in isolation or just personally. Supporting the system’s goals increases our personal satisfaction and decreases the anguish that comes from personalizing.
