Transformational Learning -- Process Project
For the upcoming Leadership Norfolk classes the class participants will be breaking up into teams and preparing a process project using transformational learning skills.
In preparation for the January 2008 class we are providing some read ahead material to help with the future dialogue in class and your activities for selecting a process project and developing your outcome. The general topic for this year's class is, “How would you prepare Norfolk for the future that is emerging using transformational methods?”
As part of the class we'll be investigating weak signals, e.g., the current political campaign and how this may impact the future political process. Please take a couple minutes and read the following New York Times article by David Brooks, Jan. 4, 2008, The Two Earthquakes.
A more recent paper written by Rick Smyre, he introduces several new weak signals that should be considered as part of the class dialogue and your process project.
