What the Intensive will cover and look like
Workshop Overview
This intensive and immersive workshop is designed for Adaptive Leadership practitioners—facilitators, educators, coaches, consultants, and change agents—who want to expand and deepen their work. Participants will become more adept at working in real-time with the interactions, needs, and challenges of their client groups while learning to use themselves more flexibly and spontaneously.
Learning Outcomes
By completing this comprehensive program, participants will gain:
Core Competencies
Professional Development
- Understanding of the powerful and practical Case in Point (CIP) methodology for use across diverse settings
- Advanced skills in facilitating, teaching, and consulting with enhanced diagnostic and intervention capacity
- Applicable insights into how human interaction and group dynamics shape learning behaviour
- Greater awareness of personal behavioural patterns, defaults, and leadership impact
- A peer network of committed practitioners from diverse professional and personal settings
- A wider and deeper grasp of the CIP method through practice and peer feedback
- A developmental pathway leading to formal accreditation
Workshop Structure
This experiential workshop employs seven interconnected learning modalities designed to build skills progressively:
1. Skill Development Sessions
Purpose: Build core CIP competencies through structured learning
These foundational sessions outline, explore, and practice essential CIP skills in an incremental progression. Each session connects to specified CIP Competencies that guide the accreditation process.
Key topics:
- Observation and Interpretation
- Systemic Questioning
- Intervention Skills
2. Demonstration Sessions
Purpose: Experience CIP methodology in action
Faculty members demonstrate their individual CIP styles while focusing on standalone topics relevant to Adaptive Leadership teaching, coaching, and consulting. Each demonstration emphasises different CIP competencies and concludes with a methodological debrief.
3. Workout Sessions
Purpose: Reinforce skills through focused practice
Short, intensive skill practice sessions either integrated into Skill Development sessions or conducted as dedicated practice periods. For example, a 30-minute structured practice exercise follows each Observation and Interpretation session.
4. Pedagogical Debriefs
Purpose: Analyse and integrate CIP applications
Structured debriefs following CIP Demonstration sessions that examine the specific CIP style used and competencies emphasised. These sessions provide opportunities to consider incorporating CIP skills into personal practice while critically evaluating skill application.
5. CIP Facilitation Practice
Purpose: Apply CIP skills in real facilitation scenarios
Two distinct practice formats:
Short Form Practice:
- Focus on specific elements such as session openings or framing adaptive work
- Targeted skill application in controlled scenarios
Long Form Practice:
- Extended practice sessions with the full group
- Comprehensive application of CIP methodology
- Followed by focused feedback sessions
6. TOOT (Time Out Of Time)
Purpose: Real-time reflection and course correction
Specialised debrief format used specifically during Long Form Facilitation Practice. TOOT sessions examine what participants observe and experience during practice, review emerging lessons, and address individual experiences. Sessions may focus on group health, subgroup functioning, or other emerging dynamics.
7. Review and Reflection
Purpose: Process insights and integration
Unstructured check-ins designed to surface participant thoughts and emerging insights. These sessions create space for sharing “what’s on people’s minds” and “what’s percolating” throughout the intensive experience.
Program Flow
The seven learning modalities work together to create a comprehensive development experience:
1. Foundation Building
Skill Development + Demonstrations
2 Active Practice
Workouts + Facilitation Practice
3. Integration and Refinement
Pedagogical Debriefs + TOOT + Review
4. Outline of Accreditation Process
This structure ensures participants experience CIP methodology from multiple angles while building competency through progressive practice and reflection.
