Hello, folks - a facilitator colleague of mine who lives in Portland,
Oregon, USA...

Suzanne Bader

...is working on her research thesis paper for her academic degree.  She
would like your help, if you're interested - she'd like your thoughts
and experiences regarding organizational development and the questions
below.  If you would like to share your responses with her please
contact her *directly* at
suzbader at easystreet.com

She says:

I would ask the following questions:

1)
Is encouraging individual and collective reflection in organizational
development processes something you do in your practice?

2)
What specific methods do you use to encourage critical reflection?

3)
Do you provide time for reflective activities both within formal
settings (while you are with your clients) as well as ask them to engage
in reflection on their own and in daily practice?

4)
How effective are reflective learning activities in surfacing underlying
beliefs and assumptions which drive organizational behavior?

5)
What helps/hinders the effective use of critical reflection in
organizational development processes?

I hope this frames the discussion. What I'm really after is how best to
embed reflective practice in enacting positive organizational change. I
am most interested in what is possible outside facilitated sessions in
daily practice.
