Train-the-Trainer
This program is for people who will be training others in systemic sustainability.
It also suits organizations that want to build sustainability capacity by training in-company facilitators, and the sessions are given on demand for small groups or one to one.
Who is it for
- Sustainability change agents within an organization committed to taking real steps toward sustainability
Learning goals
- Develop a deeper understanding of your organization's sustainability program
- Apply the key steps of the SiD approach for integrated sustainability
- Practice techniques for designing and facilitating a sustainability change process
- Design and receive feedback on a sustainability capacity-building program for your organization
For people who will teach this inside their own organization, and for trainers who have done SiD Fundamentals and want the framework in their own practice. You start by reading your own organization's sustainability program more closely, and applying the steps of the approach to it.
You design a capacity-building program for your own organization and have it critiqued, so that afterwards the organization can take on bigger and more complex work without bringing anyone in to run it.
Teaching the method, and designing a program
Part of the program is the method again, this time from the front of the room. You go back over the five steps and the theory under them, with attention to the judgement a trainer has to use: when a group has mapped enough to move on, and when to let a session stay with a map that has become complicated before any answer has appeared.
The other part is the design of the process itself: who needs to be in the room, in what order the days are built, and how much time to give to system understanding, which is the step people cut first when a programme runs short.
Five to fifteen days, tailor-made, focused on increasing your capacity to make SiD work in your organization.
