Real Organizational Change

For an organization to change at a deep level and to become the industry standard for product offerings and product systems and place of choice for talented people, they must be able to have a culture that:

  • Exercises creativity and innovation in developing a distinctive and value differentiated strategic direction which members of the business then exercise personal creativity to advance,

  • Promotes flexibility to continuously change what work is done, the nature of work, and who does which work utilizing the strategic direction as the cornerstone for this flexibility

  • Develops self-accountability in individuals who exercise systems accountability for the wholes of which they are apart anchored in the strategic direction of the business

The human and organizational technology used for causing such an organization to come into place must be disruptive, by design and intention, to move people off their current way of viewing their job and the place they and the business are positioned in the marketplace. It is fundamentally different than an instructional model of learning, It is not based on knowledge transfer. The model of working in the sessions is not presentation style, but uses Socratic method and Systems Frameworks for developing thinking and experiential understanding The intention is to invite people to think, although interactively, for themselves. 22 pgs
