| SOL World International Conference 2009 14-17 May 2009 – Texel – the Netherlands theme: Connections for organisational developers, trainers, managers, coaches, HR-managers, team-coaches and all professionals interested in the application of the solution focus in organisations. Download the SOL2009 Conference Guide here ! SOL 2009 aims to share and strengthen what works. We would like to invite those participating in SOL 2009 to engage in new connections: – connections that deepen knowledge and skill – connections that renew in form and effect – connections that surprise and conquer and that conjure up new perspectives SOL 2009 welcomes, invites and involves. It is this new perspective that can revitalise old knowledge and inspire learning, renewal and further development. We can learn from what works in other contexts or application areas. What works for example in the world of sports, politics, law and order? What similarities exist? What valuable insights are revealed? In addition: in what manner can other specialist areas gain from the knowledge, insights and expertise generated in the solution focused world? How can we challenge professionals from fields beyond our own and encourage them to see through a solution focused lens? The theme of SOL 2009 is therefore: CONNECTIONS. We invite everybody to help us with ideas, insights and inspriration for the conference. All contributions please use: 2009@solworld.org |
