The GLEN/GROVE Action Learning Eco-System
The Grove Learning Eco-systems model has guided the development of The GLEN and the Grove's longer term immersive leadership programs. At the link is a page that walks through the core elements of this system and why it is such a rich container for learning.
Links to Other Networks
The GLEN intention all along has to link to other networks and allow ideas and approaches to collaboration to spread widely. Here are ones that GLEN members are active in one way or another.
Ā Leading As Sacred Practice eBook
For several years an ensemble composed of Gisela Wendling, Alan Briskin, Holger Scholz andĀ David Sibbet led Leading as Sacred Practice retreats in both Germany and California, and then during the pandemic online. A product of this inquiry is the LASP e-Book which has been widely inspiring. It is available for download here.
Learning & Applying The Theory of Process
David Sibbet led seven Exchanges that will walk you through an inquiry about applications of Arthur M. Young's Theory of Process to organizational consulting and process design in general. This Theory articulates the torus pattern that describes archetypal patterns in living systems that lie behind most of The Grove Consultant International's work. Videos in this course are the property of The GLEN and not to be copied without permission.
Visual Consulting: Designing & Leading Change Prequel
David Sibbet and Gisela Wendling co-authored a book by this title in 2018 and led eight GLEN Exchanges on the subject. These Exchange videos walk through the Seven Challenges of Change model with input from GLEN members who are experienced consultants. They raised questions and helped refine the language and distinctions. Visual Consulting: Designing & Leading Change is now available on Amazon.
