CREATING YOUR DOJO

 

Upskill Your Organization and Create a Culture of Continuous Learning and Improvement

Faced with the challenges of multiple new technologies, processes, and ways of thinking, many organizations are embracing Dojos - immersive learning centers - as an effective way of upskilling their staff and creating a culture of continuous learning and transformation.

If you are interested in starting your Dojo, then this workshop is for you.

Creating Your Dojo is an immersive, experiential workshop covering everything you need to know to create a Dojo that meets the specific learning goals of your organization.
