Co-development workshops for MBA students

KEDGE BS Alumni is holding a co-development workshop designed for MBA students.

What’s this about?

The professional co-development workshops bring together a group of persons who will share their professional challenges, learn together, and cultivate a “collective intelligence” through a 6-step process based on talking, listening, reflection, and taking action.

This collective intelligence in motion will generate insights, ideas, as well as concrete solutions. Most of the issues addressed will "resonate" to everyone, and the contributions of peers are almost always useful in one way or another. Everyone relies on their own experience, but also on their own genuineness and desire to share.

Objectives:

• Find novel solutions to professional challenges
• Learn the art of questioning
• Share between peers
• Develop the essential human skills needed for the 21st century through the 5 Cs - Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Crafting Alignment of the Mind and Body

Pre-requisites:

There are no pre-requisites to attend this workshop other than to respect the rules of collective intelligence: CARE, SHARE, DARE

• Speak with intention
• Listen with attention
• Agree to trust each other first and foremost
• Grant others the right to learn
• Respect the programme structure

Detailed Programme:

How does it work?

A co-development group consists of five to eight participants who meet for 2 hours. In preparation for the meeting, each participant will be ready to present an issue faced by his or her current profession, the subject of which he or she would like to discuss with his or her colleague, such as how to streamline a transformation, accelerate the implementation of a strategy, stimulate collective intelligence, animate governance, consider professional mobility, make a difficult decision, etc.

The session is broken into six steps: 

• the presentation
• clarification (or the art of questioning)
• the consulting contracts
• feedback, ideas, advice, and success stories 
• the action plan
• what was learned

The session will be led by a coach.  One of the participants, whose problem has been chosen by a vote of the other participants, will play the role of a “client” and will present the situation.  His or her colleagues will play the role of "consultants" who will provide the “client” with their insights, which will take two forms: questions and recommendations.

At the end, the things learned as to relationships and behaviours during the workshop will be emphasised rather than on the substance of the subject that was chosen to address.

Modalities: 

• This workshop consists of five 2-hour sessions (10 hours of coaching total)
• For organisational reasons, only the date of the first session has been fixed; subsequent dates will be fixed at the first session taking into account the participant’s respective schedules
• You can receive coaching in either French, English, or Spanish
• The sessions take place on the Paris campus
