SD Learning Group – Collective

A continuous program tailored for experienced trainers and organizational advisors focusing on the deepest undercurrent: the collective layer with culture and energy.

Many standard development programs follow a team-centric approach, with clear steps from A to B. These programs are based on team dynamics formed by individual team members. It has proven reasonably successful when employing the Individual and Team drivesDNA™ instruments.

In March 2020, we introduced SD Next Level Development, featuring our 3-layer approach: Collective, Team, and Individual. Here, it’s not the team or individuals that serve as the starting point, but the deeper collective culture and energy. This is where the resilience of teams and organizations resides. In SD Next Level Development, this forms the starting point for strategic team and organizational development, thanks to the unique Collective drivesDNA™ instrument.

SD Next Level Development flips the direction of development, initiating from the collective. This delves deeper, has a greater strategic impact, and proves more effective in complex development challenges.

This new approach demands not just a different perspective but also a new methodology for you as a SD Expert. You need to comprehend and guide processes at this layer, including the more intricate, underlying issues that manifest there. This is precisely the purpose of this ongoing learning group.

You’ll become aware and adept at working from the collective layer of the drivesDNA™. You’ll operate from the layer where collective culture and energy reside. This serves as the starting point for further development of teams and individuals, now finely attuned to the collective context. Sometimes, this even requires an intervention at the collective level before effective steps can be taken at the team and individual levels.

A project at the collective layer inherently carries greater strategic impact and long-term effects. This demands commitment and engagement from both the client and the SD Expert to truly embark upon it.
