Tale of 'O', A

The aim
To integrate all individuals into a team by promoting collective understanding.


About the programme
This British version of a world bestseller (based on Rosabeth Moss Kanter's acclaimed work) is an entertaining parable about being different; about being an 'O' among a group of 'X's. It is targeted at groups featuring minorities of all types, in areas such as race, sex, education, age or occupation.
The discussion that follows the programme will be co-operative, allowing team members to become more comfortable in their dealings with each other, thereby helping them to work together more productively. It provides comprehensive resource and support materials for running five different half-day courses.
