A lively talk with irreverant OD practitioner Allon Shevat, speaking from his home in Israel.

Social Scientist Gilmore Crosby reads and embelishes the introduction to his sixth book, Diversity without Dogma. The goal is to create as equitable a society as possible, and as free from prejudice as possible. To this end the author believes we need a common framework for understanding DEI learning and action so that we do not make the mistake of further dividing those who care about these vital issues. Collboration is our best hope for progress.

Gilmore Crosby interviews Mark Horswood, an OD professional who took the unique path from hourly worker at an Aluminum smelter, to OD consultant. True Lewinian OD engages the people at every layer of an organization, especially the front line, in thinking for themselves and coming up with their own solutions. Mark was so inspired by the positive changes he saw this OD bring to his workplace and his personal life that he found a new calling in making, in his own words, "work a more humane place." If you can do that while simultaneously getting better results, the only question is, why isn't everyone applying Lewinian OD?
