Lectical Assessment in Practice is an accreditation course for coaches and consultants who wish to work with the Lectical Leadership Decision-Making Assessment (LDMA) and the Lectical Reflective Judgment Assessment (LRJA).
For many years, the LDMA (Lectical Leadership Decision-making Assessment) has been Lectica's flagship assessment. It is focused on a broad set of skills for leading in VUCA conditions (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity). The specific skills targeted in the LDMA fall into four broad categories—collaborative capacity, perspective coordination, contextual thinking, and decision-making process.
The LRJA (Lectical Reflective Judgment Assessment) is focused on a broad set of skills that we all need for managing CAOS™ (Competing ideas, Accelerating change, information Overload, and Social division). The specific skills targeted in the LRJA fall into four broad categories—working with perspectives, conflict resolution, evaluating evidence, and thinking and deciding. (CAOS skills overlap considerably with VUCA skills.)
ViP (VCoL in Practice) is a prerequisite for LAP-1. The ViP experience ensures that LAP-1 participants will have the skills required to learn optimally in LAP-1 and work effectively with all elements of the latest Lectical Assessment reports.
In LAP-1, you'll learn how to help others build micro-VCoLing skills so they can benefit from learning optimally from everyday experience.
You will also learn how to:
LAP-1 is open only to experienced consultants, coaches, or educators who have completed or will have completed ViP prior to the onset of meetings. We review applications as they are received and will let you know if you have been accepted as soon as a decision has been made.
The next LAP-1 begins the third week of September 2023 meeting biweekly at 5:00 pm on Mondays or 10:00 am on Wednesdays. (All dates are New York time.) LAP-1 consists of 8 modules with two-hour live sessions spaced two weeks apart, with a longer break over the end of the year holiday season. All modules include weekly written and practice-based pre-work.
The opening session will be on Monday September 18th or Wednesday September 20th, and the last session will be on Monday January 8th, 2024 or Wednesday January 10th, 2024. Your first pre-work will be assigned two weeks prior to the first session.
Registration closes on Thursday August 31st, 2023.
Course fee: $2,499 (with a $2,299 early-bird rate until June 29th, 2023)
To be accredited, participants will need to personally complete an Essentials+ LDMA Assessment and a debrief by a Lectica Master Consultant. If you have not yet taken an Essentials+ LDMA Assessment, there will be an additional fee of $625 to cover this requirement. If you have completed an Essentials+ LDMA assessment but not a debrief, a fee of $325 will cover the debrief. If you have already completed both, you're all set.
Prior to the registration deadline, we will refund 85% of your payment on request.
After the registration deadline, no refunds are available, but you will be given 2 years to complete your course by transferring to a later offering. When you transfer, you will be required to pay a processing fee equal to 15% of the course fee being charged at that time (excluding "additional fees," above).
LAP-1 is a practice-based course. You will be learning content by applying it in a variety of contexts and combinations, both prior to meetings and during them. Participants work together, comparing pre-work experiences, and using them to construct increasingly robust understandings of course material. This means that pre-work readings and practices are an essential component of learning. Please do not enroll for LAP-1 unless you will be able to complete at least 3 hours of pre-work per week. Unprepared participants reduce the quality of the learning experience for everyone.
