The 6 modules
- Module 01
Clarify its purpose
What is a (good) Purpose? What does it serve for me? How is it useful for my organization? Does my company have a Purpose? Is it explicit and shared? And my team, does it also have a Purpose? How to establish and then share our Purpose?
This Masterclass addresses each of these questions, clarifies the terms for you, and then questions you to bring you closer to yourself. Finally, in interaction, you take ownership of two easy-to-implement methods. The first one is individual. The second one is collective.

About Bastoun
After 7 years in the agro-industry, internationally, Bastoun TALEC co-founded and led CSUPER!, the first alternative communication agency in France, and then invented aligned communication® in ‘his’ second consulting agency. Heavily engaged in the concepts of the agile/learning organization, in 2016, he became a guide in Holacracy, an organizational development facilitator at HappyWork, which means “joy at work”.

As a Sculptor of Why, he clarifies the purposes at the organizational, collective, and individual levels. He facilitates various collaborative moments, writes in the Dirigeant magazine, co-organizes and hosts the Holacracy Meetup, an interest community that brings together 1,600 members.

Mapping roles
Employees don’t read their job descriptions or the org chart. People are unsure what they are meant to do, and what others are expected to do. That lack of clarity slows work and decisions.
In this module, you will approach a very new way of defining professional roles and learn a method to redesign them for yourself and with your teams. This exercise provides participants with immense clarity and opens up the potential for future developments: sketching professional paths, energizing multiple roles, changing them…

Knowing how to prioritize with the help of OKRs.
If ‘the priority of priorities is to prioritize’ (Stephen Covey), how to align priorities in the organization? OKRs provide a framework for thinking AND offer a collective practice aimed at focusing efforts on measurable and adjustable achievements. Discover the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) system initiated by Intel, popularized by Google, and begin to make them your own, on your scale; that is the aim of this session.

The art of feed-back
Discover or rediscover why and how feedback can be a powerful tool for personal and collective effectiveness development. Understand the right approach, both for giving and receiving feedback, and practice with participants on simple situations. A key to healthy interpersonal dynamics in organizations, the art of feedback is learned and practiced daily.
- Module 05
Renewing operational meetings
Better, easier team meetings, drawn from the most advanced management systems. You play a role in a fictional organization and run a "new generation" operational meeting: sync the team and deal with each member’s points. You see how a structured process creates more cooperation and efficiency, and leave with tools you can use at once.

Organizing collectively
How to organize autonomously within a team? How to adjust each person’s roles to streamline the organization? How to bring clarity to everyone’s authorities? This module addresses this question, with a simulation exercise of a meeting where participants experience the zero objection decision-making mode. Go beyond consensus for greater collective effectiveness.
