Shifting sands: Forging a future together in uncertain times

In times of rapid change, it can feel like the earth beneath our feet is constantly shifting and without warning, yet we are expected cope with the tasks before us.

This Group Relations Conference will seek to understand more about the tensions that can arise in such circumstances – exploring the effect on individuals and their organisations, the impact on leadership, and the forces that may work against collaboration both consciously and unconsciously.

This is an experiential and immersive conference, which offers members the opportunity to understand more about group processes. Exploring areas such as leadership, followership, authority, diversity, hierarchy and power structures, participants will be invited to engage with their experiences and emotions in “the here and now” to extend their learning.

Director: Mellini Mahadevan

Associate Director: Dexter Benjamin

Associate Director for BE Group: Sarah Wynick
