 Upcoming Events
Here is a list of events Marcia Conner will be facilitating or speaking at over the next year. As new events are scheduled, we'll update this page.
Creating Chaordic Organizations.
May 2-3 2002 Seattle, WA or May 8-10 2002 in Charlottesville, VA. What if we could conceive and create organizations which incorporated our most fundamental values? What if our organizations were exceptionally fluid, durable and capable of continuous, self-generated evolution, while preserving core purpose and principles? What if our customers or clients created value and contributed to continuous learning, growth and profitability as owners and members of our businesses? What if a dynamic, trusted process were available to help develop successful and sustainable enterprises of all kinds - strategic alliances, acquisitions and mergers, supply chain organizations, IT enterprises, nonprofit networks, foundations, educational institutions and health care systems? This program is open to everyone interested in finding new ways to work in turbulent times. Learn more about the program and get the registration form: www.chaordic.org/what_sem7.html. Marcia will be co-facilitating this program with staff of the Chaordic Commons. Read more about Marcia's work with the Commons at www.learnativity.com/chaordic.html.

Darden Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Virginia will host a small colloquium on Creating a Learning Culture: Strategy, Technology, and Practice June 26-28, 2002 in Charlottesville Virginia. Marcia Conner is helping to develop this event and will be facilitating several of the panels. Wayne Hodgins and Ellen Wagner will be participating and speaking during the event, as well.
What is this event? A three-day conference to examine how organizational strategy, technology, and practice must align to achieve business results. Why now? The time is right to facilitate a conversation that business leaders wants to have: to discuss why organizational learning is not fully addressed through training or eLearning and how technology and classroom development should support business strategy. While many conferences focus on "training", we'll examine how organizations should align educational opportunities to business needs. We'll focus on how technology is changing the conversation around how, what, and why people learn within the context of an enterprise. What will it answer? Perspectives and experiences of corporations: How is technology affecting learning strategy. How is it meeting the needs of business leaders? Perspective and experiences of technologists: How are we making use of technology to change the way people learn and the learning strategy? Are we just reformatting? Perspectives of business educators: What are the opportunities and challenges in applying technology to achieve business outcomes? Participants will include senior corporate executives, chief executives of learning technology companies, scholars, and business faculty.
