Parallels between corporate and marriage lifecycles and what to do about it ..

I would like to use this opportunity to present parallels between corporate and marriage lifecycle and the application of both into a change process. This workshop will allow attendees to identify where their cooperation or marriage is on the lifecycle and how each phase needs to be managed. Depending on the location.

This presentation is founded on the original work of Dr. Ichak Adizes around the concept of corporate lifecycles.

Participants will have an opportunity to first understand deeply the notion of corporate lifecycles. Then its applications to marriage. Participants will learn to identify where they are on both cycles.

The methodology of presentation would allow participants to share in a peer like setting the key issues they are facing today. In each cycle.

In the second round, participants will be placed around tables pertaining to the different phases, and around those tables will have an opportunity to develop a strategy on how to move both to the next stage. Since the presenter is not an expert in marriage therapy, we will be trusting on the experience of group members to co-create a language for both.

The methodology of presentation will include a one-hour presentation on the concept, 30 minutes sharing around the group. Examples of either corporations or marriage challenges for each phase.

In the second phase, new small groups will sit together for a session of an additional one hour. In order to develop together methodologies on how to move both towards the phase of prime.

The working setting for this presentation/workshop will be small tables of six participants each in the larger room, where such small round tables can be placed.

The presenter/facilitator Dr. Amir kfir will be sharing his life experience in both organizational as well as small group therapy and would allow participants to both shares their own stories, as well as experience using the power of small group sharing in an environment of intimacy and confidentiality.

For presentations, we will need logistically, a large room with round tables, allowing six people to sit around a table. With an overhead projector to be hooked to the computer.

Participants in this session would have to sign a confidentiality agreement, binding them not to expose any information shared around the small table outside of the circle or the larger group.

The outputs of the session will be a deeper understanding of the notion of corporate lifecycle in its application to both companies and Marriages or the career location of participants sitting around the table.

The presenter /facilitator of this meeting has had over 20 years of experience in corporate change management, working side-by-side with Dr. Ichak Adizes, as well as over 12 years in world while facilitation of small intimate peer learning groups of YPO.
