We believe that there is only one way to learn, or acquire the Beta mindset: Through acquiring the theories and distinctions necessary for solving all relevant problems you may encounter in your work. It's simple as that.

Thinking within the logic of Beta, one cannot help but becoming somewhat critically about seminars, certifications and “trainings”. We all have experienced, one way or another (often through the dreadful reality of training programs and conferences), that profound insight and learning are unlikely to happen within mandatory, authoritarian, teacher-dominated, classroom-bound, and knowledge-accentuating settings and contexts. Which is why trainings (and, to a large degree, elearning) are sadly among the most ineffective vessels for producing relevant personal learning and organizational development. In line with this reasoning, we offer a wide range of Beta-related alternatives to “trainings-as-you-know-them”, which we are giving an overview of on this page.

For your personal learning

For teams & organizations

  • BetaCodex thought clinics & workshops – public and in-company – for groups large and small and for entire organizations. Usually delivered in a highly collaborative “thought clinic” format – without fixed agenda, without power point or lecturing. Several BetaCodex associates will be happy to assist you with this.
     
  • Courses and masterclasses are offered by several BetaCodex associates are also a great learning option. These learning formats provide a structured way of getting into the Beta mindset.
     
  • Impulse sessions & speaking at conferences are offered by several of our associates. Such sessions may be as interactive and reflection-focused as the client, organizer and format allow. Ideally, one might call this kind of format “keynote workshops”
     
  • Online small group-based learning, as provided by qomenius – a learning provider founded by BetaCodex Network associates Silke Hermann and Niels Pflaeging. This kind of approach highly scalable and self-organized – in line with BetaCodex principles. You can try the qomenius approach to learning for free.
     
  • Social technologies derived from the BetaCodex are a way to make Beta a reality in your organization or in client organizations. 
    - OpenSpace Beta – a BetaCodex approach to Very Fast Organizational Transformation
    - Cell Structure Design – a BetaCodex approach to organizational design and structure
    - Relative Targets – a BetaCodex approach to performance systems
    Red42 regularly offers several qualifications around these approaches.
     
  • Knowledge conferences based on OpenSpace Technology – for existing communities and organizations. These can be set up and run for you by BetaCodex associates, if you wish.
     
  • Advice and consulting support, which is offered by several associates and their companies.
