Group Work Path

What path will your group take to improve their thinking, analysis and decision making?

Does your group work with complex or contentious issues? Do you think some shared understanding would benefit your team’s productivity?

This is the path for you!

The training will begin with foundation and intermediate courses in Issue Based Information Systems (IBIS) and Compendium (a graphical tool for IBIS.)  Then you will proceed to the Advanced Compendium course which focuses on using Compendium as a group support tool.

Since most groups have meetings, face to face or online, we recommend the course on capturing the content of meetings with IBIS and Compendium. You may optionally choose to have some or all of the people within your group trained to facilitate meetings with IBIS and Compendium.
