A process for Co-Constructing Solutions to organizational challenges and Creating Sustainable Change
"No problems can be solved using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
~ Albert Einstein
Large- & Small-Scale Organizational Change, such as:
- Creating Winning Teams
- Strategic Opportunities
- Fueling High Performance
- Work/Life Balance
- Recognition Systems
- Collaborative Cultures
- Community Service Initiatives
- Becoming Best-in-Class
- Maintaining Customer Loyalty
- Learning Design
Four Step Process (otherwise known as the 4-D Cycle)
- Discovery (D1): ’ÄúThe best of what exists.’Äù Leveraging Best Practices
- Dream (D2): ’ÄúWhat we might become.’Äù Envisioning Results
- Design (D3): ’ÄúSteps for getting there.’Äù Co-Constructing Solutions / the Future
- Delivery (D4): ’ÄúHow to maintain changes.’Äù Sustaining Change
Five Core Principles
-
Constructionist Principle: We construct our realities based on the images we create
by our questions, conversations, and ’Äúorganizational vocabulary.’Äù
-
Principle of Simultaneity: Change begins with the first questions we ask.
-
Anticipatory Principle: Our image of the future we anticipate influences our behavior
in the present.
-
Poetic Principle: Just as poets have no constraints on what they can write about, we
have no boundaries on what we can inquire and learn from.
-
Positive Principle: The more positive the questions used to guide a change process,
the more long-lasting and effective that process will be.
