The overall vision of the Intervals programme is to help staff in PRBB centres develop their skills for working in complex spaces and across boundaries - in science and beyond. The basis of learning is systems focused and interdisciplinary, seeking to promote adaptability, flexibility and resilience in the face of constant change.
The Intervals programme is divided into three learning areas: Self skills, Team skills and Systems skills. These learning areas are based on a systems approach to leadership development as described by Bolden et al (2019). The levels of learning recognise the complex, interdependent systems that stretch out from the inner world of each individual, to the public domains in which we act and communicate as social beings.
As a curriculum framework the Intervals categorisation is pragmatic rather than definitive, since boundaries are rarely clear and never permanent. PRBB staff can design their individual learning and development plan by combining Intervals events in a modular way as appropriate to their career experience and needs.
Please note: PRBB Intervals courses are only open to staff affiliated to PRBB Centres.
