Systemic and Default Organizational Practices

SYNTHESIS: Storytelling: Imagining a Systemic Organization

Step 1

Spend 3 minutes quietly imagining what it would be like if systemic practices were the foundation of your organization’s culture.

 

Step 2

Tell stories of an imaginary day-in-the-life of your organization if systemic practices were the norm. Share stories Popcorn Style.

Consider:

It is a sea change to move from default to systemic practices. It requires personal and organizational transformation to adopt new practices. It requires commitment, investment, mutual support, and imagination into why we want this transformation.

What is your share of this change management situation?

How will you need to change?

How will you need to change how you are with each other?

What will be different and how it might be worth it for you as an organization to develop these practices?

 

Step 3

Group discussion.
