In this video we discuss integrating dialogic OD (methods, tools, and techniques) with traditional diagnostic OD (method, tools, and techniques) to produce a more powerful, accretive, and innovative social and organizational change methodology.

Increasingly we find that leveraging Diagnostic OD method, tools, and techniques alone is inadequate to effectively (read: sustainably) address the complex adaptive challenges of today. To solve complex adaptive challenges effectively, it requires an approach that is “suited for the times”; that is, an approach that both leverages complexity while embracing uncertainty. Moreover, we need an approach that is focused not only on addressing change at a behavioral level, but also, and far more importantly, at a cognitive level. That is, we need a method that addresses both inner AND outer. Integrating both OD methods, diagnostic (outer; behavioral) and dialogic (inner; cognitive), helps us achieve this goal.

In this episode, you will learn:  The case for integrating Dialogic OD with Diagnostic OD  How Dialogic OD amplifies the value of Diagnostic OD  The aspects of Dialogic OD to integrate with Diagnostic OD  Practice fields of opportunity to begin role-modeling the new  Key considerations when integrating both methods

Hope you enjoy!
