CO-CREATE Andrew Campbell Presencing Futures

U Workshops

The U Process

I began designing and facilitating workshops in 1997 for the Unipart Group at Oxford, applying learning organization theory and creative practice at every level of their organization. That contribution was featured in a Demos Report on Creativity in UK Economy Unipart U being one of their three ‘case histories’.

Inauthenticity is the reason 80% of professional interventions fail and as a rule of thumb 90% of the problems we face are engendered by others and 10% by ourselves (Denning), so it’s leveraging that 10% that matters.

Everyone needs to leverage their own leadership capacity today, and the capacity to lead comes from exercising personal mastery. Presencing is a reliable map in that continual journey.

We offer insights, squarely based on extensive action research, informed by some hands on client work including work with teams from UnipartU, The Academy for Chief Executives and The House of Commons. To help you develop really solid personal mastery skills.

• you will realise you have everything within yourself to
develop leadership qualities.

• discover the confidence to integrate your thoughts, feelings and
actions to aid in walking the talking.

• you will experience fluent, dynamic and adaptable skills emerging which
will never become obsolete

Two authors recognise the value of the approaches I have pioneered.

I have discovered that art is a leveller - whatever the company size or turnover, all that becomes irrelevant when faced with a blank canvas and paintbrush in hand. What matters then is our ability to tolerate ambiguity, to face the unknown and to allow our energy and concentration to paint the vision. This world enables us as leaders to tap into resources that we may
never have dreamt of as being possible”
Sue Knight, 2000

"Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the age - ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion. Andrew, you will find yourself in my book.”
— Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind (2005)

Each course reintegrates your experience from previous ones, generating real energy and capacity for shaping optimum futures. Each is designed and delivered with imagination, insight, skill, and care and is proven in a wide variety of settings.

There are three courses on offer for you to learn to practice the U Process and Presencing.

The One Day Course

You could start to build a whole new future from attending just this single Foundation Course in the U Process and Presencing, -if you are prepared to trust and assimilate your own lessons and you commit to really using the course materials offered in a disciplined way into the future.

Creativity really is the only sustainable key for unlocking human potential. Through ‘micro’ capacity building exercises you can realize that in practice, which leads to innovation. You do not have to come with special skills or become an expert in any sense. It is about how we can begin to start paying deeper and better attention, which is what really ‘opens’ us into real awareness and increases our imagination, creating new choices.

Feedback

Business Practitioner, 2001. Henley, Oxfordshire.

“Andrew I liken your presence, - to that of the "Acoustic Resonance" created when two or more musical notes are played on any acoustic instrument under specific conditions. -Debussy incorporated this into his music. I believe that human interaction does the same...some one needs to release the dampers and others stroke the keys...To do both is a gift and a learning which you have.”

The Two Day Course

This course will offer you the opportunity of a deeper engagement to explore at the interface of your ‘self’ and the ‘world’ , you’ll increase your personal confidence and your capacity.

Taking ‘field walks’ in nature and ‘learning journeys’ in built environment- you are shown how re-connecting with what is new and perhaps re-connecting with what's familiar in a new way can bring significant benefits. You'll make just three movements.

- Out of one’s habitual perception to open up to the unknown and turbulent world around you (co-sensing)

- Out of one’s habitual self to open up to one’s higher self within the whole (co-presencing)

- Out of one’s habitual actions to begin operating from a simpler, emerging future (co-creating)

Feedback

Interview, CEO, Financial Institution, 1998

“I am much more conscious about being in balance in my life now. I am conscious of when I am in that flow. I feel absolutely aligned and when I am working with others and that is when I am coaching from my heart. I know when I am out of balance and I remedy it. For example I was doing a piece of work that I really didn’t like and I realised that I was not enjoying it at all. I explained that they would have to find someone else to do this work for them now. You know at the time -when I did the Systemic Enterprising course I was going through a lot of change in my life. I accept that life is a journey but at this time it was a tougher journey than normal. This whole process was an instrument in getting through that. It helped me to move on and get balance so that I started doing the things that I really enjoy.”

The Three Day Course

This course is a deeper immersion into the techniques and insights I’ve developed since collaborating with Otto Scharmer and his associates at Generon Consulting since 2001.

By using the key research findings and passages from the interviews with 150 global leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs and global ‘master practitioners’, your efforts are focused on learning through deepened and hightened awareness, peak-performance, grounded in personal experiences, creativity and innovation, and servant leadership.

Uniquely these courses interconnect into a larger, integrated self generating learning cycle, based on one’s ability to sense and realize emerging futures.

You will learn how some of the most successful organizations have benefited from this creative and intuitive 'technology for susainable change'.

“It is all rather like the way a painter creates a new work. Indeed, the point is not to focus on outcomes so much as understand the forces that would compel the outcome; less on figures and more on figure-ground.” GBN Scenarist Document.

Participants will access ‘source’ - the inner invisible place from which they operate. They will learn to pay special attention to what’s going on within and around them in ways that leads to the opening of their mind, their heart, and their will. This is an holistic process.

The quality and depth of understanding of this work is reflected in the people we are invited to serve.

Feedback

“Source -- this is still at the center of my attention. I'm doing a lot of work in large systems, including organizational systems here in the US. I'm looking for the best way to describe Source and the experience of connecting to Source.

I must tell you I agree one hundred percent with you... I was completely struck by it... I was deeply touched by what you said there. I completely understand. I completely see. Thank you. Love, Joseph” -
