What is Dialogic-Driven Change?

In this video we discuss what is dialogic-driven change including how leveraging the power of dialogue can and does facilitate transformative social and organizational change.

Engaging in dialogue is part of the human condition; it is part of our collective lived history. For 1000s of years, humans have leveraged the power of dialogue to form community, educate and inform, provide a means for governing, and even as a source of entertainment. Sadly, in the western-world, such ancient practice has been supplanted with a cold and clinical emphasis on machine- age logic, rational thought, and overly formal ways of working and being.

The good news is humanity is ‘thawing out’; it has tired of these artificial ways of relating and being with one another. Increasingly, we see a movement back to our innate, ancient practices of yesteryear; a time when practicing dialogue was cherished, valued, and relied upon to maintain the stability and promote the growth of a group. The world is once again revealing its true colors; showing its innate desire and interest in leveraging the power of dialogue to facilitate transformative social (and organizational) change.
