| Title: | Consciousness Raising Via Learning Journeys. Using OD to Connect Business to Society |
| Description: | How can organization development (OD) practitioners raise people’s consciousness about their true aspirations and enlarge their self-picture about what they might accomplish through their work and organizations? How can OD practitioners help companies to align and activate people to common purpose and to ennoble that purpose with meaning? How can service experiences help to connect individuals and their companies to issues and interests in society? The usual tools – self-assessment exercises, peer feedback and discussion, personal and collective visioning, real-time situation analyses, problem solving, goal-setting, and the like – can all contribute. But modestly-scaled journeys involving, say, hiking in a forest, service learning in local hospitals, an orphanage, or community centers, and two-way interaction with other leaders, operators, and customers in another environment and line of work can also open minds and stimulate fresh thinking about new personal and collective directions. On the surface, the idea of consciousness raising would seem rather far a field for business executives. Yet the case can be made that it is very applicable to the development of leaders and their companies today. |
