The book for effective organizational change
by Stephanie Borgert
 

Learning organizations have an answer to this: organizational discourse as a tool for effective change. Participatory. Complexity-appropriate. People-friendly. They know the strength of joint reflection on evaluation patterns, the need for irritation, and the power of shared meaning-making.

 

In her new book, our co-partner, Stephanie, sheds light on the organizational discourse in detail. It lays the foundation for understanding organizations as complex systems and thus using complementary and sometimes new explanatory models in order to exert influence. Organizational discourse is a multi-disciplinary tool influenced by various disciplines: systems theories, philosophy, organizational psychology, etc. At the same time, it becomes very concrete because the heart of every change is the debate between people in an organization. The practical discourse is presented intensively and invited to be implemented.

​

What you can expect in this book:

​

• The 8 principles for organizational discourse

• The philosophical and learning theory foundations

• The for what (not)

• The process of organizational discourse as an “enabler” for change

• The RIDA loop (Reflect, Irritate, Declare, Agree) as a didactic basis for the practical discourses

This book is written for people who tell a “different” story about change. That of participation, design, working on the system and philanthropy.
