Program Description:

 

A socially balanced strategy forces planners outside of their comfort zones so that they pay attention to "rational" perspectives they may usually ignore. Let's put our personal biases aside for a day and see how our organizations can achieve the innovative possibilities inherent in the development of socially balanced strategies.

 

You are rational, your leaders are rational, and your coworkers are rational. But you all may have different ideas and never see eye-to-eye. Your ideas are so right - why can't anyone else see what is plainly the best thing to do? It may be time to seek social balance in your organization and your life. What does this mean?

 

Everyone is socially biased - this is not a bad thing. To make sense of our worlds, we take certain mental shortcuts, especially when faced with ambiguous situations. These shortcuts help us to quickly make seemingly rational decisions, but they also expose us to risk - most notably a risk of closing our minds to different, equally rational perspectives.

 

We all have social perspectives but without a keen awareness of others’ potential perspectives, certain strategies, initiatives or actions can just seem wrong! Let’s find what’s right in each other’s perspectives.

Participants will take with them:
1. An understanding of the tenets of a Socially Balanced Strategy;
2. Ability to recognize your own rational, social decision-making biases; and
3. Knowledge of how to incorporate different perspectives across the social spectrum into your
organization’s strategies and your own life.
