They just announced a new workshop series and I thought I'd share here. Maybe we can all come back here and share about the session we attend and have a conversation about it? I signed up for April 23rd and May 7th. Here's all the info: https://www.u-school.org/offerings/presencing-series2026 The calls are at 4pm CET

@Thomas Jordan has now built a dedicated website with resources primarily for people who want to use the IDG framework in organizations here AMAZING! Here are brief presentations of two key resources: ******* Manager’s Toolbox for Working with the Inner Development Guide This book is a practical collection of ready-to-use activities that managers and facilitators can apply directly with teams. It offers 31 clearly described exercises, ranging from a few minutes to extended sessions, each linked to specific IDG skills. The focus is on immediate usability: helping practitioners introduce inner development into meetings, workshops, and team processes without redesigning structures or requiring deep theoretical grounding. The Toolbox is especially useful as an entry point for organizations new to IDG work, or in contexts where time, mandate, or readiness for deeper structural change is limited. It emphasizes actionability and flexibility over long-term systemic design. ******* The Inner Development Guide for Teams This handbook focuses on how teams and departments develop collective capability over time. Rather than offering isolated activities, it provides structural “scaffolds” — meeting formats, routines, roles, and norms — that embed the Inner Development Guide into everyday work. Its core premise is that individual skills do not automatically become collective strengths; they must be enabled by deliberate structures and practices. The book is written for team leaders, managers, and consultants who want to shape how teams function as systems, building sustained capacities for reflection, collaboration, sensemaking, and action. It is best suited for practitioners aiming at long-term cultural change rather than quick interventions. ****** There are also a couple of web apps that give overviews of the practices, exercises, activities and structures that are described in more detail in the longer handbooks and essays.

Hello All, I am working with a client on their talent development needs and am exploring using the IDG Guide to do a 360 degree style survey for the stream leadership teams. Looking forward to any best practices I can emulate. Thanks in advance.

Here is the new updated guide with the explanation of each them and related competencies. Also included is the Translator version for those of you working in other languages

I filled The Year Compass out a few years ago and found it a helpful piece for reflection. Taking the time to reflect on what took place and what stays can be enlightening. https://yearcompass.com/gb/ https://yearcompass.com/#download I wish you, in our community, a peaceful end to 2025 and a glorious beginning to 2026, sparkled with love and compassion, and joy.
