Enabling Change
The 2-day complete, hands-on workshop on the design of change projects in complex social environments (and aren't they all?)
For practitioners in the fields of sustainability, health promotion, natural resource management, road safety, crime prevention and emergency management.
The tools to plan effectively
This enjoyable workshop will provide you with proven strategies and tools to design programs that (a) systematically tackle wicked problems; and (b) really enable behaviour change - all richly illustrated with cases from Australia and overseas.
You'll: - learn how to strategise solutions to socially complex (aka "wicked") problems;
- have powerful insights into the causes of behaviour
- tackle resistant behaviour change problems
- learn powerful tools and processes for facilitating teams
- understand the role of values, norms and comfy zones
- avoid common pitfalls
- simplify the process of evaluation.
The workshop consists of two full-day sessions: DAY 1 is crash course in the motivational and social psychology of behaviour change.
On DAY 2 we'll work in teams to design real life projects using a rigorous step-by-step methodology: the Enabling Change process.
IN-HOUSE COURSES ONLY: An OPTIONAL DAY 3 covers Program Logic, the practical system for problem analysis, identification of objectives, and evaluation, which is becoming standard in many disciplines.
All participants receive the 174 page workboook with all tools (worth it for the registration fee alone).
The diagram below shows the five elements of a behaviour change project, and the skills you'll learn at each stage.
