Event Details

PCHRA is offering a new service to advance the profession and HR professionals by teaching systems thinking for HR startegy, communications, openness and safety. 

"Systems Thinking with DSRP, Part IV: Perspectives"

ABOUT THE EVENT: We introduce a new service called “Advancing the Profession and Serving the HR Professional Learning Series”, a bi-monthly online event raising awareness of systems thinking. 

This is a 12-part training exploring the systems thinking theory and methodology of DSRP facilitated by Lori Fisher, PMP PCHRA social media chair. DSRP, which stands for Distinctions, Systems, Relationships, and Perspectives, is “thinking about thinking” and helps users develop empathy and active listening skills in addition to thinking skills.

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: In this presentation, Lori will share the systems thinking methodology of DSRP, a natural and practical way to improve your thinking, interactions, and learning. In this last of four sessions Lori will build on Dr. Derek Cabrera’s Distinctions, Systems and Relationships Rule by considering the Perspectives Rule, which helps us practically understand the ways to view ideas or things from different perspectives, and the ways in which they “change” based upon perspective.

This session will include illustrative explanations, and human resources and management exercises to enhance learning and work applicability. Be aware people rarely consider multiple perspectives and struggle making conceptual perspectives (like viewing Total Rwards through the perspective of "equity".) Learn ways to facilitate agreement in 1:1 and group sessions, by understanding the act of choice requires perspective taking; present information in the right perspective to facilitate choice.

The effectiveness of your perspective-taking fosters agreement, accelerates good decision-making, and facilitates empathy, which are all critical skills for human resources.  Questions and dialogue are welcome and encouraged!
