A MINDSET more than anything else

Reality and relationships are socially constructed

• Multiple truths
• How people define and describe their

world creates meaning

• With no single “reality” a diversity of voices

needs to be engaged

14 @NHSE_DoOD www.nhsemployers.org/od

Organisations are meaning making systems

• Reality is continuously created through

interactions and agreements

• What happens is influenced to a large

degree by how people interact and make meaning

15 @NHSE_DoOD www.nhsemployers.org/od

Language matters

• Words create meaning
• Thinking is influenced by language,

storylines, and metaphors

16 @NHSE_DoOD www.nhsemployers.org/od

Creating change requires changing conversations

• Speech (spoken words, writing, symbols)

is a creative act

• Change is promoted when everyday

conversations are altered (what is said, who is saying it, how it is being said)

17 @NHSE_DoOD www.nhsemployers.org/od

Transformational change is not planned

• Requires moving purposefully into the

unknown

• Disrupt current patterns to make possible

discovery of new ones

• Change can come from anywhere

18 @NHSE_DoOD www.nhsemployers.org/od

OD consultants are part of the process

• We influence meaning through our

presence

• Pay attention to what we privilege and

what we marginalise
