The Belgian State Archives, a 200 year old organisation achieved to make their shared purpose visible, connect in a meaningful way to each other with offices scattered over 30 towns and cities, in three language communities and two political regions, working out the strategic and innovative elements for their future. Being able to host in Durch, French and German turned out to be really useful today, with the great support of strategic harvester Frans Nijs.<\/p>\n
It all started back in 2016 during the Dutch EU Presidency: I designed and facilitated the first participatory event for the European High level Group of State archivists in The Hague to help them work out a strategic plan for their future years.<\/p>\n
Now the States Archives Belgium wanted to include their recently recruited colleagues who often also represent the younger generations actively for innovation of the services.<\/p>\n
For a maximum output of the meetings, highly interactive methods were applied in a creative way to use the full potential of everyone involved in the process from the beginning. Participatory Leadership suggests ways to combine and connect diverse views as a creative potential, and fuel new ideas and innovation for the evolution of existing processes and the wiser creation of new ones.<\/p>\n
An in-house steering group including managers as well as recently recruited employees was accompanied from the beginning to co-create the events. In between de-briefing meetings offered great learning opportunities and transfer into daily work process and the existing know-how. Great experience and beautiful talents showed up on the way.<\/p>\n
A final workshop to foster the learning for the future was offered in the end of a process.<\/p>\n
Languages used were Dutch and French and English.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1130,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"featured":[14,97],"project_sectors":[356,512,21],"project_states":[],"project-tags":[94,360,384,112,75,366],"class_list":["post-1127","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","featured-home-page","featured-projects-page","project-sectors-administration","project-sectors-management","project-sectors-public-sector","project-tag-collaboration","project-tag-knowledge-exchange","project-tag-multilingual","project-tag-online-hosting","project-tag-organisational-development","project-tag-workshop"],"acf":[],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":1127,"de":1136},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/projects_rest\/1127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/projects_rest"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/projects_rest\/1127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5609,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/projects_rest\/1127\/revisions\/5609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1130"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ffeatured&post=1127"},{"taxonomy":"project-sectors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproject_sectors&post=1127"},{"taxonomy":"project-states","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproject_states&post=1127"},{"taxonomy":"project-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wwwneu.salonhosting.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproject-tags&post=1127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
