With Mark L. Vincent's new book that released in June, listening helping learning: Core Competencies of Process Consulting, we are excited to offer this exclusive workshop series focused on understanding and tackling the process consulting approach.


Cost: Free

We are excited to share this event exclusively with all LIVE attendees and it will not be recorded.

How will this workshop work?

We'll be reviewing a case study about helping when a closed culture must become open. Mark L. Vincent and special guest Carlos Romero will facilitate the conversation with Live Q&A.

What is the case study we'll be reviewing?

New Day University celebrates its 75th anniversary in the new year. After a long-serving (17 years) president retired, a new president was appointed who had been trained as a lawyer and had not previously served in an academic institution. This is a non-traditional background for a college president, which meant that even before the new person started, they were already being looked upon with suspicion from the university community who did not see the president as “one of their own.”

The new president understood that many challenges lay ahead. Because academic administration was a new endeavor for the president, it came with a realization that there was an industry-specific language he would need to learn. There was also little common experience between him and the university community that would aid communication and further build on common ground and experience. In addition, the words of the board who appointed him were recorded in his mind: We need to change the culture and deal with the dysfunctional teamwork. At the same time, after successfully serving as the CEO of a large hospital for 15 years, he felt he had some experience that would easily transfer to the new setting as he introduced ideas and concepts.
