In this episode, we discuss the Dialogic OD toolkit and how leveraging dialogic-based tools can both generate and accelerate breakthrough results when solving for a complex adaptive challenge.

The types of organizational challenges that we as OD/Change leaders are increasingly being asked to help facilitate and solve are social in nature; that is, they are of a more complex variety where leveraging tools of old (i.e., diagnostic OD-based tools) is insufficient. To be successful with problem-solving today, it requires use of a set of tools that are attuned to solve complex, multi-stakeholder social issues. We refer to such tools as dialogic tools (aka ‘Dialogic OD Toolkit’) which are tools that leverage and are rooted in use of dialogue (as a conversational form) to facilitate problem solving. Knowing and being skilled in the use of such tools is vital to be an effective Organization Development/Change practitioner today.

In this episode, you’ll learn:  (7) Key tools that comprise the Dialogic OD toolkit  Why dialogic tools are so effective at solving complex challenges  How remarkably different Dialogic OD tools are from traditional Diagnostic OD toolkit
