An inspiring seminar

Facilitated by:

Peter KOENIG and Diana RITCHIE

Workshop leader

Peter Koenig

Peter has studied the phenomenology of money since the early 1980s, giving presentations and performing original research with small groups. Following an MBA in Geneva, Peter ran a business providing management training, leadership and strategic development processes for companies. The stimulus for his monetary research began through observing the arbitrary effects of financial tools used in the context of these activities. In 1987 he became an independent financial and organisational consultant to companies and non-profit organisations. In 1994 he launched his first public Money work seminar and in 1999 he initiated a new international conference series on Money & Business Partnership.

The Initiator Work

Objectives

The objective of the workshop is for participants to explore an innovative and new management theory and practice that identifies and recognises the passion, energy and ideas of the Initiator of an organisation, project, team, community group or business.

You will explore

The characteristics that clearly enable everyone to identify who the present Initiator of an entity (enterprise, organisation or project) is.
The activities, responsibilities and privileges, which belong or do not belong to this role.
The relationship dynamics between Initiators and their next-in-line. Applying this understanding throughout the organisation.
How to change the dynamics without necessarily altering the organisational structure?
How to remain in touch with one’s own ‘Initiator energy’ while everything else is going on.
Which decisions are best made by the Initiator and which are not.
The art of collaboration between Initiator-persons.
The distinction between ‘Initiator’ and ‘Leadership’ roles.
The factors related to Initiator-persons that are crucial for succession processes.
By understanding and following the principles that underpin the role of the Initiator it’s possible to unravel the origins of unproductive dynamics, then identify leverage points for making quick and simple corrections that restore healthy flow and high energy to teams, enterprises and organisations.

How we explore

We work with the practices of dialogue and enquiry, as we respond to a series of provocative inputs. The group is invited to explore and share their reactions, and their personal experience of being involved in founding projects, organisations and community groups.

All the conversations and dialogues are confidential and conducted with the necessary care and integrity.

Description

This method is part of the Peter Koenig System, a result of 14 years of research into the role of the Initiator and the dynamics of the founding energy. Through a series of exploratory conversations we share real life experiences to help projects, groups and organisations thrive and resolve relational and operational difficulties in a sustainable way.

Outcome

By understanding and following the principles that underpin the role of the Initiator it’s possible to unravel the origins of unproductive dynamics, then identify leverage points for making quick and simple corrections that restore healthy flow and high energy to teams, enterprises and organisations.

“Power conflicts are usually accepted as a normal part of corporate life, yet everyone knows they lead to considerable waste and loss of precious time, energy and other resources. New research shows that three quarters of these are not directly related to the particularities of the individuals involved but inadvertently sown into the company systems and culture by the original founding group; then passed on to the successors.”
