ISABS-XIMB Monsoon Event: September 4-8, 2006

About ISABS

Indian Society for Applied Behavioural Science (ISABS, http://www.isabs.org/) is a national, non-profit, voluntary, professional organisation, founded in 1972 by a group of behavioural scientists engaged in applying their knowledge and skills for the well-being of persons and organisations.

ISABS events focus on human processes and aim at helping people to understand themselves better and discover more creative and satisfying ways of working and relating. ISABS utilises group- and experience-based learning as its main training method. Experiencing, reflecting, hypothesising, conceptualising, and experimenting - rather than lectures - are the chief ingredients in this process of learning. ISABS also trains professionals to facilitate such experiential learning in organisational and societal contexts.

Human Process Laboratories

In a Human Process Laboratory, a group of around 8 to 12 participants work together along with a facilitator to learn about human processes and discover more about themselves, their strengths, their styles, their interpersonal and group interactions, how they perceive and are perceived by others. While this is the primary task, there is no pre-determined agenda and the group uses the 'here and now' experience to derive this learning, using each other as a resource. The facilitator helps to create a climate for such learning. There are also some community sessions where members from all the laboratory groups are invited to participate.
