7. The Group Relations Conference
A Group Relations Conference is a format in which a „temporary institution‟ is set up to explore issues
related to Leadership, Authority and Management of Change.
This temporary institution explores dimensions of change in the “here & now” -- through active
participation & experiential learning.
The conference is an intense experience of questioning, observing & working with the unconscious
processes behind the conscious role-taking of leaders & followers. It also explores the role of an
organization in the scenario of “change”.
The GRC creates event to mirror typical organizational situations.
Opening and Closing Small Study Groups Staff Management Marketplace Event
Plenary Large Study Groups Event
The GRC offers powerful simulations on what happens on joining or leaving an organization. It provides
opportunities to explore personal effectiveness in an interpersonal face-to-face group. It explores the
organizational dynamics of the whole system and the problems of individual effectiveness in a large
group.
It explores the boundary and dynamics between members and the conference staff in management
role; this facilitates learning about the perennial problems in organizations between those in authority
positions and others who perceive themselves as less powerful, thereby making more creative
engagement possible.
