What are the Participants Saying?
Here are what some of the participants are saying:
“The great thing about the Semco Style Institute expert program is that you go deep into the key principles, practices and phases to becoming a democratic workplace with a group of like-minded changemakers. Going through the rich content offered on the SSI learning platform and the Semco Style toolkit and hearing from others how this could be applied in their organisations is a real joy. During the sessions we have also been joined by international Semco Style practitioners who have generously shared their fascinating case studies. An excellent way to bring the theory to life and hear how it has worked in practice. “
“A new fresh approach to managing a Business that turns old traditional ways on its head. I am surprised in how much I learned from Semco and how much I had to unlearn. Semco style just makes sense. I predict that Semco Style will be the new way to effectively run businesses in our Brave New World. “
