Transformation! The most popular Buzzword in South Africa today. Transformation of an organisation is a dynamic and sometimes very painful process that requires the enlistment of everyone.

It is a process that requires commitment, dedication and intent. It involves the setting of a compelling vision but that's the easy part. Implementation is the hard part and what has become clear is that organisations have to transform the thinking patterns in the organisation if it wants to succeed at transformation.

This workshop is a must attend for OD practitioners OD - Organisational development practitioners, organisational behaviour specialists, HR executives, corporate communication managers, change and/or transformation agents in organisations.

Combining 30 years of OD, communication and management consulting experience, Deon will help you to understand that you cannot transform any organisation, unless you radically change the way people think, interact, participate and communicate. Deon will show you how to transform your organisation's reputation using various tools and processes including the latest thinking on how Social Media is transforming organisations.

Joyce Wycoff wrote in her book 'Transformation Thinking' that thinking within an organisation is defined as the mental activity of every member of the organisation...all the idea generation, learning and skill development, exchange of information, communication and problem solving that make up the intellectual capacity of an organisation. (Intellectual capital is the sum total of what everyone knows in the organisation).

How do you liberate this capital? The goal of most communication is to provide information in order to change attitudes or behaviour. To transform thinking patterns, attitudes and behaviors will need massive communication and OD style interventions. Research shows that the companies who are successful at transformation communicates...all the time, at every level, in great detail.

This workshop will deal with issues relating to transformation and mechanisms that will improve communication flow that will impact dynamically on freeing up the intellectual capital in the organisation.

The late Harry S. Truman said, "We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow, free and open, across international boundaries". To which can be added, "organisations will never be as successful at transformation unless it does the same to its communication and thinking processes".

Topics:

- How social media is changing communication patterns
- How to use social media tools to transform the organisation
- How to dynamically transform thinking patterns (culture) in the organisation by using organisational development, organisational communication, creativity and innovation and social media best practices

The workshop will be facilitated by Deon Binneman, international speaker, trainer and reputation managerment consultant. Deon has worked in 15 countries the past 19 years inc. China, Australia, Singapore and South Africa.
