Applying the Cape Cod Model in Organizations

This program is an advanced practice week for graduates of the Cape Cod Training Program who want to use the Cape Cod Model of facilitating change through microinterventions in their work with organizational teams. Participants will be observed and coached as they are working with a client, receiving feedback from master facilitators as well as from the client group themselves. Emphasis
will be placed on seeing group competence and learning to provide bold and direct feedback, along with techniques of assessing effectiveness of interventions. This intensive program provides three days of practice, two of them with invited clients.

One day is devoted to case consultation in which participants will work with their own cases, and participate in facilitated peer supervision groups, providing a unique opportunity to resolve troublesome case issues.

Participation will be limited to maintain a low faculty-student ratio and allow for intensive individual concentration and practical guest client experience. Since the focus is on integrating learning and sharpening intervention skills, participants will find great value in repeating the program.

“A year ago our staff had the opportunity to be the daylong ‘clients’ for Applying the Cape Cod Model in Organizations.
Despite some resistance and grumbling beforehand, afterwards I received rave reviews from my staff! Somehow our professional relationships were transformed that day in a very positive
manner. And without exception, when we de-briefed the next day, each person characterized our day’s retreat at GISC as an outstanding experience.”
