Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
This programme of supervision is designed for an intact team of OD&D/HR/change practitioners to enable them to improve their strategic impact, explore their identity, purpose and collective practice and reflect on their team dynamics. Team supervision will develop each practitioner and the team as a whole. Each participant will also be guided to develop a Practice-Based Learning Questions (PBLQs) to drive ongoing inquiry and professional development in their context and we will also craft and work with a team inquiry question. The programme consists of 6 day-long sessions, run face-to-face over c.6 months to be scheduled with the client.
The approach to the supervision is underpinned by the following principles:
•Focusing practice development on practical delivery – doing real work in the service of learning to practice
•Offering a space for reflexivity and enabling practice depth
•Delivering impact through the use of self as an instrument
•Keeping the needs of wider stakeholders in the picture
•Bringing in theory in the service of making a difference across the system
Objectives:
•Individual ‘airtime’ made up of participants current team or work challenges
•Collective sensemaking of themes arising, drawing on theory and practice and experimenting with new approaches
•Clarification your own and team professional ethos and what you stand for as a practitioner and as a function
•Refining approaches to practising OD&D in a way that most effectively meets the team’s current context
•Increasing noticing of multiple factors at play in client and team work eg systemic influences, parallel processes etc
•Supporting the emotional labour and impact on wellbeing of OD&D work in a system where relational work is often systemically under recognised"
