Project Description
Book Circle as a Service
THE BOOK CIRCLES
Each book is supported by 6-9 sessions, led and facilitated by a subject matter expert, with vast experience of the subjects covered in the book. The sessions are all well prepared with slides to follow and additional experience based discussions and learnings.
We love learning. We love reading. We love exploring theories and practical problems with other engaged people. Book circles are the perfect combination of those passions. Informal, low investment, great sharing opportunity, easy to tie to local context.
You can invest in your staff by bringing in an experienced guide to run facilitated book circles, every week, fortnightly or monthly – the schedule is set up together with you so it suits you and your organization and staff. Bring this into your Communities of Practice, Guilds or Chapters to help with creating a learning organisation.
