NMF is offering a workshop to assist in making unsolvable problems manageable. The framework being introduced is based in Polarity Thinking and will benefit organizations, groups and individuals.
Unsolvable problems represent two seemingly opposing ideas, with both being true. Some examples of polarities include: neglect of the customer / focusing on the customer; indivdual / team; centralization / decentralization.
The session will be held in Bemidji at the Sanford Events Center on Monday, June 13th from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm. There is no charge for the workshop and lunch is included; space is limited and pre-registration on the NMF website (www.nwmf.org) is required.
Managers from all sectors will benefit from learning about Polarity Management concepts, which help to distinguish problems that can be solved from those issues that are actually polarities, which need to be managed.
Participants will increase their ability to manage the 5 “Cs”: complexity, change, conflict, chronic issues and cross cultural issues, through learning how to apply the concepts of polarity thinking.
Through NMF’s Nonprofit Excellence program, workshop attendees will be offered the opportunity to work with consultants to assess their organization’s polarities.
