Theory and Practice of Whole System Transformation by Roland Loup

As you all know Kathie Dannemiller is the most powerful OD woman I’ve ever met in my life. Roland Loup over all the years was the closest to her. He wrote the introduction to my main textbook titled Practicing OD.

Sharing with you he’s email to me recently

Hello, my fellow design thinkers,
I have been ruminating on the deceptively simple, yet fascinating matrix.

 

What we don’t know we don’t know
(The Johari window is a version of this representation that helps us explore what we know and don’t know about ourselves and others.) 
The article 
https://uxdesign.cc/the-knowns-and-unknowns-framework-for-design-thinking-6537787de2c5

offers background thinking and a brief historical review of the know/don’t know framework as well as implications for its possible use in organization design, culture building/change and strategy. I suggest it not as any truth but as a point of departure for your review and possible discussion. For example, Paul, is this an appropriate topic for a forum or dialogue at the OD design group you helped start in Europe?
A couple of ideas that have occurred to me. The article talks about assumptions as “assumptions (known unknowns).” In my experience assumptions are seldom known, that is, conscious to those in the organization. In strategy work, I think it is useful to help organization leadership and other stakeholders, especially employees and clients, work to surface the assumptions that guide decisions and actions. (In fact I propose assumptions are more useful to discuss than “values” which are often merely words on a page.)Edgar Schein posited in his book The Cultural Survival Guide, 2009, page 75 , “Cultural assumptions are tacit and taken for granted.” (I admit that I rely on Schein in matters of organization culture because his work is congruent with what I have found in working with organizations. Of course, you need not take on that yoke, but must follow your own guru and experience re culture.) Further, when helping to build perhaps a new organization design, I suggest that having those engaged in the design consider the assumptions that not only will help guide the organization design , but also the decisions and actions that will be the pillars of a revised culture.
Another aspect of design culture is “beliefs,” which are cousins of assumptions. While it may not always be useful for organizations to wrestle with the difference between organization assumptions and beliefs, it is helpful for us consultants to understand the differences as we guide the organization through design of work, culture, etc.
Again, I offer the article and thoughts as stimulation as you continue to work with clients and, to perhaps help advance knowledge. Of course, if this shoe doesn’t fit, then I trust that you will not be tempted to wear it.

Attached is a working draft of a document that I worked on almost 10 years ago when I was trying to figure out what I knew about organization culture – perhaps you will find something of interest or use in it.

Best to you all. Roland
Stay well, be safe and keep being kind. Roland Loup – website: https://www.rolandjloup.com/

Cardinal Tagle’s Important Message on Climate Change

This is the serious message from Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the current Archbishop of Manila, Philippines who is said to most likely become Pope after Francis.

In essence, he says we must attend to Mother Earth and climate change. We also need to get rid of the USA economic method where the rich get richer and replaced with equal distribution of wealth.

Art Freedman’s Body just transcended to Divine Life: His Theory supports my Whole System Transformation

In the early 70’s, Freedman and I both lived on Sheraton road next to Loyola University in Chicago. We were 10 minutes away from each other. He was one of those few people understood my Whole System Transformation Practice and Theory.

Here’s a link to his one of his early cont. Art Freedman was an intense bright fellow. SHe always was a major OD thought leader as he went on to his new positions.
I miss him dearly. He will be forever remembered.I love 💕 him as I love you all!!!!

Fox & Delio elevated my passion for reducing climate change

As a father I am talking with my daugher about her human and spiritual consciousness. These two videos are key. I have listened to them 5 times. I started with Fox at Loyola University in Chicago in 1967. Delio is new. I believe in her. In-joy. Leave your reaction or Questions. This is the only way I communicate with the public because my time is limited. Here are Matthew Fox’s video and Delio’s video.

Owen’s Open Space Influence on Sullivan’s Whole System Transformation(r)

For yours truly, Lou Carter, the founder of Best Practice Institute is one of two of the most Significant latest next generation OD professionals. I have been for years the Chief Transformation Officer at BPI. Lou interviews 87 year old Owen. Owen and I have been in a relationship for a good 40 years. Do not miss the Palestinian- Israeli-true story at end of the video!

Carter-Owen historic Video

After two martinis, Owen conceived a modern Open Space. I taught “open space” to my daughter. She did twice the largest virtual 8 day open space. I am so proud of her.

Link to daughters open space that had over one half million video down loads of the open space breakouts or presentations!

So combined that is a million downloads. Note how Owen says that now we have the possibility of gathering a million people on line. He says this is due to technology.

Another session is scheduled for summer solstice 2021. Climate Change will be key. Love you all.
