Learning Quests
--Workshops, Weekend Getaways, the MQI Foundational Quests, Retreats--
These learning Quests enable the Institute to share its research and to help
individuals and organizations grow and achieve sustainable high performance. MQI
research is guided by the increasingly difficult challenges surfacing around the
globe ... the challenges driven by rapid change, uncertainty and growing
complexity. Learning Quests are designed to increase our understanding of the
nature of ourselves, our reality and our organizations in terms of those
challenges. They provide information and knowledge relevant to the future, and
suggest new ways of viewing, thinking and acting relative to the change,
uncertainty, complexity and anxiety enveloping the globe. See
Schedule for those events already scheduled at
MAI. Contact Alex or David at 304-799-7267 to schedule a professional
training session at MQI or your workplace.
Each form of quests is briefly described below. Detailed information about
specific sessions is available by clicking on the relevant link.
- Workshops
-
MQI workshops provide learning experiences for professional and
other knowledge workers. Varying from three to five days in length, each workshop
is an outgrowth of current Institute research related to specific issues
faced by individuals and organizations. Designed to bring participants up to
date on the latest theory and practices, the workshops mix short tutorials,
group discussions, small group problem solving and personal reflection.
Participants are encouraged to pursue their own learning needs and to share
problems and insights with others. Upon completing the workshop,
participants have a large number of new ideas, a workbook for reference, a
network of other attendees and an action list for follow-on learning.

- Weekend Getaways
-
As our world becomes more complicated many of us feel the need to
escape from our daily activities and environment and get away to relax,
learn and reflect on those things that are important to us but get lost in
the rush of life. The MQI Weekend Getaways encourage individuality,
participation and dialogue. Often there are no "right answers," only
insights, perspectives and growth of understanding. The Institute's
labyrinth, three miles of trails, and 18,000-volume research library
encourage quiet contemplation and meaningful conversation. The Getaways are
facilitated, schedules are flexible, and personal journeys encouraged.
-
- The MQI Foundational Quests
- The MQI Quests are designed to facilitate the individual's journey from
information and knowledge through consciousness to meaning. Each quest
builds on the previous ones. The Quest for Knowledge provides a language of
concepts that are needed to learn and work with meta-knowledge. It also
addresses the issues of learning how to learn, the validity of knowledge and
various approaches to finding, creating, sharing and applying knowledge. The
Quest for Consciousness addresses the question of what is consciousness and
how does it influence the creation of our perceived reality. Various forms
of consciousness are discusses and their implications and meaning are
explored. The Quest for Meaning encourages individuals to ask their most
basic questions and pursue selected ones to discover the meaning of both the
question and potential answers. In the end, it is the journey we value most.
-
- Retreats
-
Retreats are both formal and informal, designed to meet the needs
of executive or community groups, project or program teams, or friends and
family gathering. Retreats can be combined with sessions similar to those
provided for workshops, weekend getaways, or the MQI foundational quests, or
we would be pleased to offer consulting services
and
share research underway. For an overview
