CANCELLED ::: Organizational Development (OD) SIG: Dialogic OD - The New Face of OD

Dialogic OD is a label used to distinguish a mindset about organizations, leadership and change that is different from foundational Diagnostic OD.

In the 2015 textbook on Dialogic Organization Development Schein describes Dialogic OD as a return to the roots of OD’s original spirit of inquiry, and opined that Dialogic OD may have emerged because organizational problems are now more complex, ambiguous and uncertain. Since then, the idea that Diagnostic OD is better suited to complicated, technical problems and Dialogic OD better suited to complex, adaptive challenges, has been echoed by others.

Our July OD SIG will explore different premises and patterns of practice between diagnostic and dialogic OD and the three types of dialogic OD. Follow the link below to learn more about dialogic OD.
