The Dynamic Collaboration Deep Immersion Program offers in-depth, cutting-edge insights and highly relevant tools for individual, team, and organizational development. This relevance is a promise and a commitment to understanding and addressing leaders’ and organizations’ specific needs and interests, ensuring they can find the solutions they seek.

The Dynamic Collaboration approach provides leaders with practical frameworks to better manage complexity and achieve more integrated decision-making at every level. These tools are about managing unique contributions and empowering leaders to take control of their organizations’ future.

It’s built on three modules (taken individually or combined):

Module one. Next-level Thinking.

This module sharpens leaders’ decision-making through critical thinking frameworks and is designed to support executives in crucial leadership transitions, namely those related to the need to think and decide more broadly, let go of the ego, and realize stronger connections in collaboration from there on the other. It teaches leaders how to think more holistically and creatively. It covers contextual thinking, making sense of evolutions and change, defining critical relationships, and transformational thinking.

Module two. Optimizing Your Organization.

Design your company for efficient collaboration and regenerative growth. We make a difference between designing your organization’s left and right wing. The left-wing is about how you split up the work and design units and jobs and is focused on the design of unique contributions at all levels as the basis to guarantee proactive ownership. The right-wing is about designing horizontal and vertical integration mechanisms to ensure coordinated action. This module teaches leaders how to design more effective and efficient organizations. It covers organizational design, job and unit design, and coordination and integration mechanisms.
