Twenty-first International Conference on Knowledge, Culture, and Change in Organizations

Abstract

“Getting to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of our culture, which depends on the quality of our relationships, which depends on the quality of our conversations. Everything happens through conversations!” Conversational Intelligence by Judith Glaser. Conversation is the carrier of culture; it is the medium through which we connect and create for better or worse. We are in constant conversation with ourselves, with others and with the world around us, and the quality of our conversations, the awareness with which we arrive and engage in one, directly affects the quality of each and every outcome. This workshop has two parts. Firstly we will showcase an experience that illustrates our working approach during meetings and conferences that helps people see the unseen, capture the potential, and create more sustainable, innovative solutions. We do this primarily through creating a highly sensitive container combined with visualisation. The second part of the workshop will include a hands-on experience of this working approach using our visual tools which are the product of conversations we have listened to and visualised. In this way, participants will access higher levels of awareness inspiring human-centred, creative and innovative solutions. These generative conversations reveal third-way solutions so much needed in today’s organisational world.
