Training & Coaching between cultures: Arts & Business, or What can business people learn from artists?

Around 20 leaders from Rhine and Ruhr came together for an interactive lecture concerning the question: "Arts & Business: What can business people learn from artists?" by Dr. Katharina Kettner of wave-concepts.

Usually these two contexts are thought of as "two separate worlds" but here they were explored for their cultural common grounds, transfer possibilities and value systems.

This meeting has not only been interactive because of the stimulating questions, and all participants  sharing insights, but the rather special exercises.

An extraordinary highlight were the emerging synergetic light sculptures made - almost in silent consonance, as it were - from all the single light spots created by the participants.

Here, input, reflection and action combined into a new, direct experience.

Special Thanks to the Gabal-Team for their support and to IHK-Bochum (Bochum Chamber of Commerce) for the workshop  space!

Training & Coaching zwischen den Kulturen: Arts & Business, oder Was können Geschäftsleute von KünstlerInnen lernen?

Unsere Gesellschaft ist im Umbruch: die wirtschaftliche Lage, die politische Situation, die Formen zwischenmenschlicher Interaktion verändern sich rapide und stellen die Menschen, die hier & heute leben, vor scheinbar ungekannte Herausforderungen.
Change Management Training, welches Methoden und ‚Strategien' isoliert vermittelt, greift angesichts dieser komplexen, dynamischen Realität zu kurz.

Gefordert sind Ressourcen, die Mitarbeitern in Organisationen andere Fähigkeiten vermitteln oder Fähigkeiten anders vermitteln. Diese Ressourcen bietet die Kunst in idealer Weise.

  • Welche Methoden und Fähigkeiten aus der Praxis von Künstlerinnen helfen Fach- und Führungskräften, den kommunikativen Herausforderungen in ihrer Organisation zu begegnen?
  • Welche kulturellen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede lassen sich erkennen?
  • Wie trägt ein interkulturelles Wertesystem in diesem Sinne zur Personalentwicklung bei?
  • Wie können Teilnehmer diese Entwicklung nachhaltig in ihre Berufspraxis umsetzen?


Und weil wir finden, daß das Ruhrgebiet eine ideale Homebase für diesen Ansatz ist, erfahren Sie auch, warum.

Vortrag, Diskussion, ggfls. praktische Demonstration

Zeit: Freitag, 16. Januar 2004, 16.00 - 18.00 (im Falle einer praktischen Demonstration ggfls. 20.00)
Ort: IHK Bochum, (Industrie- und Handelskammer im mittleren Ruhrgebiet zu Bochum) Ostring 30-32, 44787 Bochum (Nähe Hbf)

"It is only love that makes us rich and human", Eva Meier-Kill

12 Dec 2003, Pauluskirche Bochum --- good, warm, bright. Many people had come. We miss Eva and are glad to have known her.

The feeling that the others appreciated the same warmth and brilliance, the same charisma in her, opportunities to learn from her, laugh with her, share delicious meals at a table where everyone was always welcome, all that unites us.

Her friend Anne-Mary Robinson travelled all the way from England just for the concert. The music, the choir, the organ: transparent, to the point, with an enormous range of expression and concentration, full of emotion and authentic passion.

She would have loved it!
