Responsive change to intentional transformation: Exploring NIODA’s transition to an online environment
In early 2020 NIODA was already a virtual workplace, but the services it offered were mostly face-to-face: teaching, seminars, workshops, organisational research, consulting, and coaching. Like many others around the world with the means to do so, in March 2020 NIODA responded to the threat of COVID-19 by rapidly pivoting to an online way of delivering its services. Since then, along with the rest of the world, NIODA’s thinking about providing services online has shifted from a short-term response to a crisis to a more purposeful engagement, with permanent shifts and new possibilities being contemplated such as intentionally offering courses in online mode along with in-person classes; or contracting with consulting and coaching clients who we may never meet in person.
The experience of not knowing how online services would work and coming to know ourselves as part of the new paradigm of online service providers needs exploration as both a quality control exercise and our own internal organisational need to understand in more depth the implications of online service delivery .
As three NIODA staff members we are undertaking an exploratory project looking into our organisation’s experience of moving to online service provision by investigating and articulating: ‘How can NIODA, employing the systems psychodynamic methods it teaches and uses with clients (as in Long, 2013), understand the experience of shifting our services online?’
Our aim is to support NIODA’s move from crisis response to intentional transformation in a way that enhances service offerings for our students, clients and the NIODA community. The exploration will draw on data from recent student evaluations, feedback on the 2020 NIODA symposium from organisers and participants, a dedicated staff workshop exploring the online teaching experience, interviews with staff, students and clients, and reflection on the dynamics emerging between us as a small staff group as we engage in the exploration – including our first meeting to discuss the project, at which two members of the group met in person for the first time.
