Dialogic OD is the next step in the evolution of organizational change theory, from thinking of organizations as organisms that adapt to their environments, to organizations as conversations where individual, group, and organizational actions result from self-organizing, socially constructed realities created and sustained by the prevailing narratives, stories, and conversations through which people make meaning about their experiences.It is an interesting development of traditional diagnostic OD. If you would like to learn more, the first international conference on the subject is coming up in Vancouver later this year at The First International Conference on Dialogic Organization Development
