The Technology of Participation (ToP®)

The Technology of Participation (ToP®) teaches team members how to collaborate on projects and group facilitators how to effectively lead their team. ToP® provides methods that:

• Recognize and honor contributions of all
• Let a group deal with more data in less time
• Pool individual contributions into larger more informative patterns
• Welcome diversity while minimizing polarization and conflict

The Benefits of Using ToP®

An Effective Approach... The ToP® courses will aid those who are creating a climate of involvement in the workplace. You will experience the methods, talk about the theory behind them, practice them in small groups, and then get feedback on your style and skills. You'll leave these courses ready to immediately apply what you've learned.

An Exceptionally Qualified Faculty... Each faculty team brings a wealth of both up front facilitation and training experience coming from work with large and small businesses, nonprofits, community agencies, governmental and educational institutions and neighborhoods. They are skilled at both transferring these methods and answering your questions about how these methods work. The faculty provides an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach to organizational change and development. Technology of Participation® courses are available in the US in both English and Spanish.

Documented Success... The ToP® methods use innovative approaches which have been extensively researched and field tested. ToP® methods are supported by practical results that have proven sustainable over time. Participants and leaders gain a renewed confidence in their capability to support participative approaches and strategies in their organization.

Take-Home References... Our comprehensive participant workbook, which clearly outlines the steps for each method, is a practical tool for your future use.

Limited Course Size... Programs are all presented in a relaxed and interactive small group learning environment. Courses are intentionally limited in size and are taught by at least two trainers to insure the highest levels of participation and learning.

Using the Technology of Participation® series, you will learn to:

• Capture the power of diversity and harvest it for a shared vision.
• Focus group energy by utilizing individual insight.
• Build commitment by using a process that assures effective action.
