THE
SEA CHANGE METHOD |
 |
PROJECT
BASED |
Sea Change has taken modern, project based, management
development techniques and combined them with the immediacy
of the often unfamiliar environment of sailing, to provide
a powerful tool for changing attitudes and behaviour.
Using a series of interlocking business projects (where
the learning from the first project is immediately transferable
to the second and subsequent projects) produces a programmed
learning curve, building throughout the event.
The projects are ‘real’ management situations
that do not require role playing for their achievement.
The learning, because it is experienced emotionally as
well as intellectually, is therefore real, remembered and
applied.
|
|
Rather than relying on a physical challenge for their
effectiveness, the projects reproduce and mirror business
issues… and therefore create the same demands, pressures
and challenges faced by people at work.
The projects used provide a ‘level playing field’ where
team and individual performance is free from the influence
of organisational culture, status and functional specialisms.
Team members are encouraged to try new approaches and
to resolve problems which they may not be able to do within
the constraints of their normal working environment.
Full understanding is achieved through team reviews of
the projects which give high ownership of the learning
and connect the learning back to the workplace. |

THE
SAILING ENVIRONMENT
|
Projects are both land and boat based, with the sailing
taking place in the sheltered waters of Southampton Water
and the Solent.
The immediacy of sailing, coupled with the need for
teamwork, adds to the power and impact of the projects.
The objective is not to teach people to sail, but to use
sailing as a ‘vehicle’ to deliver the benefits
of the projects. The absence, or presence, of sailing knowledge
does not affect the power and leverage of the projects,
as the challenge is the same for all delegates, irrespective
of their experience.
As the objective is not to challenge people physically,
the programmes are suitable for delegates of all ages and
physical ability. |
