The Foundation Course

Introducing key applications of the Thinking Environment.

The Foundation Course (2 Days) introduces you to the Ten Components of a Thinking Environment and their eight group applications. You will explore Thinking Pairs, Dialogue, Rounds, Open Discussion, Meetings, the Council and Facilitation. Any of these applications will help you turn groups and organisations into Thinking Environments.

You will also see one Thinking Partnership demonstration in order to consider its importance for leaders in creating Thinking Environment cultures.

This course is also a prerequisite for the Facilitator Qualifying Course.
