Techniques to encourage dialogue

By Shawn. Follow me on Twitter. Filed in Sensemaking.

Last week I suggested we needed more techniques that fostered deeper conversations in business. Well here is a new resource which will help you get up to speed on a range of group processes designed to encourage dialogue. The 86–page report was produced by the Pioneers of Change Associates and commissioned by the Nelson Mandela Foundation. The report describes the following techniques and many more:

  • appreciative inquiry
  • change lab
  • circle
  • deep democracy
  • future search
  • open space technology
  • scenario planning
  • sustained dialogue
  • the world cafe

[thanks to Mary Alice Arthur for the pointer to this report—when will we see your blog MA?]
