Good Morning,
I am very interested in this topic and the approach this provides could provide in facilitating discussions with frontline individuals and teams about work as thought, as planned and as completed.
Are you aware of any facilitation programs which are available/run in Australia? I am interested in some further individual developed and to be trained on this approach?
Get in touch with Bob Edwards at hophub.org
Bob is the best!

Thanks,
Tom
