Leading Learning: A Canadian Experience

Country: Canada 🇨🇦

“Learning organisation” is an organisation continually expanding its capacity to create its future.” — Peter Senge

The organisations that will truly excel in embedding and sustaining Signs of Safety are the organisations that tap into people’s commitment and capacity to learn within all levels of the organisation. We offer a first-of-its-kind exciting, innovative, and enhancing opportunities for leaders across Canada to participate in a guided learning process for an entire year.

How it works

We will facilitate cohorts of 15 participants through 12 sessions in the utility of the disciplines, processes, and methodologies of Signs of Safety. We will also equip leaders with the skills to facilitate, embed and sustain a learning ethos within their respective organisations. The consultants will model, coach, and mentor participants to facilitate end-to-end casework, utilising the Signs of Safety, from risk assessment through to safety planning. Each participant will, in turn, simultaneously lead an end-to-end case process with their respective teams. Everyone will be encouraged to track and speak to their learnings, staff learnings, and organisational implications and document their casework. The 12th session will be a celebratory mini Gathering consisting of casework presentations.
