Join us for our third online global conversation which will explore the the relationship between dialogue and action. As dialogic OD consultants, practitioners and author we think that dialogue is vital to generative organizational change. But how does that connect to action? How do we help people into action, does it matter (as talk is just a kind of action anyway), are there ways to action which don’t just turn into ‘planned change’ but stay emergent…
Our gathering will be held in salon-style* and hosted by the Faculty of the Bushe-Marshak Institute for Dialogic OD.
We’ll begin with a number of the authors sharing their perspectives on the topic, then open it up for dialogue, creating the space for you to have conversations in small groups before reconvening as one large group.
Anyone interested in change leadership, organizational development is welcome to participate. The panel will consist of authors from the Bushe-Marshak Institute series on Dialogic OD.
