Interdepartmental co-development group
  • Looking for a practice-based development activity?

Join an interdepartmental co-development group, in English or French, led by a manager-coach.  

What is a codevelopment group?
  • A group of people who help each other in their respective development.
  • A training approach that allows people to learn from each other in order to improve and consolidate their management practices.
  • A structured consultation exercise that focuses on real situations.
  • Members take turns acting as clients, presenting a real situation, and as consultants, helping the client to enrich their understanding and capacity for action. Consultants are encouraged to ask questions rather than suggest explanations and solutions.
  • Participants are encouraged to complete a personal diary to identify and document what they have learned in each session, and thus achieve long-term change.
  • Facilitated by a facilitator (trained to manage the consultation process).
  • With a commitment to continuity, attendance, confidentiality and adherence to agreed rules.
Time investment:

In general, members meet once a month for 3 hours and sessions are from October to June.

What it takes to be a participant
  • Minimum of one year’s experience in management/supervision.
  • Available for managers (EX level).
  • Commitment to attend meetings.
  • Obtain approval from your immediate supervisor.

Register before September 8th, 2023 to be part of the next cohort!

What it takes to be a facilitator (coach)
  • Have a recognized training in co-development group facilitation.
  • Or have already participated in a co-development group.
  • Significant management experience at middle or senior level.
