What we do

Home / What we do

Public World offers organisations a range of blended learning and development programmes, consultancy and coaching to enable, support and sustain self-organised team work.

Although organisations share many challenges in common, each also has unique circumstances and challenges. So, useful though it is to share learning between our clients, we understand the importance of co-creating solutions with each.

So we begin by getting to know you and your needs, to understand what is important to you, what you want to achieve, and your starting point and constraints.

Inspiration

Our Inspiration Workshops are the best introduction to the basic principles and practices of self-organised teamwork, and how and why it can produce great outcomes, happier staff and better productivity.

Making the change

Blended Learning Programme – ‘Self-organisation: from purpose to practice’ Our first two programmes are designed to enable and support teams and coaches to make a successful transition to self-organised teamwork. Through engaging online modules and interactive workshops, participants will gain invaluable insights and a good working knowledge of the principles and practices of self-organising teams. […]

Sustaining the change

Making changes to the way you work can be challenging. It can take a lot of commitment from all of those involved and it can require many resources. What’s more, even with the most successful programme of change it can sometimes be hard to keep momentum, to not become complacent or worse still, revert to […]

Growing/scaling

Once you’re working successfully with one or two self-organising teams, your next challenge might be how to enable organic growth through the organisation, scaling teams in other departments or indeed other neighbourhoods and locations. We will help you look at what needs to happen to achieve that and co-produce a plan of action.
