W4: Sociometry Training Workshop – 3 days

Description

This workshop explores how sociometry can be used to make sense of and strengthen human relations in organisations. Sociometry is an action method process which actively works with interpersonal choices and their impact on groups. The dynamics of this inner structure of a group can facilitate or hinder the work of an organization. Realisations about the inner structure and its patternings have a powerful flow on effect of stimulating the formation of new links, and strengthening these/them.

Sociometry assists promoting cohesive working relationships. The matter of personal preference is researched and then put to good use in order to increase mutuality in work groups. Organisations willing to work with both formal and informal networks are more likely to produce work groups focused on activity and tasks they find satisfying and have a natural affinity for.

The training process will be based on links continually being made between the immediate group situation as well as the experiences of participants in other work groups.

The content will focus on inner and outer group structures; relationship patterning and social configurations of informal systems; and designing relevant interventions to promote cohesive relationships.

The aim of the workshop is to make participants more steady, versatile and responsive in approaching the sociometric field of a group.

This workshop is relevant to those working with action interventions in or with organizations including team leaders, managers, coaches and consultants.
