From training to engagement coaching and mentoring
Dialogue by Design’s training programmes have earned their
reputation at the cutting edge of thinking and practice on engagement
and consultation. Our emphasis on process design has transformed
the way that many people think about engagement.
We want now to take this emphasis one step further. While there
are always general principles to discuss, process design is all
about using exactly the right process for each situation and context,
and we want to reflect this individuality of approach in how we
help others to make good design choices.
So from now on our training will focus on the needs of individuals - and
in fact it will be more like coaching and mentoring than training
in that we want to work with individuals to help them solve specific
problems.
Bringing design to your desktop
Our training materials and particular design tools such as The
Bridge Model, will not, however, be lost to posterity.
In spring next year we will be publishing a book, Dialogue
by Design: the Complete Guide to Engagement and Consultation as
an accompaniment to Dialogue Designer, our unique web-based
engagement design and management package.
Please contact us by phone on 020 8683 6602 or by
email if you
would like to know more about any of these developments.
