Post-graduate certificate program debuts

A prototype certificate program, Designing and Leading Emergent Change: A practicum in sensing and shaping the future of living systems, begins in February — designed to become a model for a rich set of future offerings. For OSR Masters graduates and other interested learners, this post-graduate program will:

• Create a learning community of practice grounded in theory, design, and methodology. The purpose of the community is to develop competent and confident individual practitioners who can engage with organizational systems and design and lead emergent change.
  
• Be guided by Craig Fleck, Roger Harrison, and Mitch Saunders.
  
• Convene 4 times for Friday-Saturday sessions: February 29–March 1; April 11–12; May 16–17; June 20–21
• Provide a certificate from OSR (future offerings may provide certificates from Seattle University)
  
• Cost between $2,000-3,000 depending on type of employment and organizational support.
  

A design team of interested OSR Masters graduates — Steve Byers (OSR 13), Yolanda Christianson (OSR 13), Nick Folwer (OSR 8), Barbara Lewy (OSR 13), and Clarice Sieden (OSR 10) — have been working with the "guides" to define the particulars of the program.

Applications are now accepted through Friday, February 8. A detailed course prospectus and application with intentions, content, schedule, and format is available. Download the pdf >>
