Patterns of generative conversations
Something to celebrate: This morning I delivered the manuscript for my fourth book, working title Patterns of Generative Conversations, a shortish (100-page) commission for Gervase Bushe and Bob Marshak’s BMI series in dialogic organisation development. If you’ve read the Agendashift 2nd edition, it expands on the “one model to the tune of another” reconciliation I did between Agendashift and Gervase’s Generative Change Model. If you haven’t, it will be an accessible and (I’m told) energetic introduction to both. As soon as I have a publication schedule I will of course announce it here.
December TTT/F
We have a quorum for September’s Leading with Outcomes Train-the-Trainer / Facilitator, so December’s is now open.

(The Deliberately) Adaptive Organisation
August has been a strangely productive month – that’s what a diary mostly empty of meetings does for you! Over September I’ll start recording the fourth module of Leading with Outcomes, Adaptive Organisation: Business agility at every scale, and as part of my preparations, some blog posts:
- Six commitments: Putting the ‘Deliberate’ into the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation (2 parts)
- What does it mean to lead in a wholehearted organisation?
There’s a book there too, my next big writing project.
