About Change Champions: A Dialogic Approach To Creating
Review This book is a wonderful addition to the growing body of "how to actually DO dialogic OD" literature. It brings dialogic OD into clear focus at a very practical level. Change Champions are the heart and soul of any sustained change effort, and this book provides helpful questions in every one of the tables and essential checklists at the end of every chapter. This book is essential to select, train, and empower your project's Change Champions around use of story, narrative, and new patterns of language and behavior, especially with a focus on inclusion, to make sure your change efforts are deep and sustainable. —Matt Minahan Most consultants write a "How to pay us to..." where the reader gets just enough information to justify the need to hire the consultant. This book is a real "How to" on organizing a successful change initiative. It gives stages, steps, theory, practice, and real-world examples and lessons learned from experience (the need for two levels of Executive Sponsorship is a great example). The book conveys the time and effort it takes to drive organizational change while still giving the sense that such changes are achievable and valuable. Highly recommended for any stage of the journey. —Dr. Michael Ali, VP of Engineering Operations, Saratech Change Champions reminds us that in an increasingly complex world, where we are all navigating the grey zone of change, the fundamentals remain true. Engage those most impacted who have the will to make a difference, amplify marginalized voices, learn together and co-create a new way...a shared narrative that moves beyond the status quo to a generative future. There is no formula other than this. The magic of humans joining across differences to do the work of co-creating inclusive, equitable futures. This book outlines a roadmap to working with Change Champions but in the way only the KJCG team can do, it simplifies the complexity to provide clear and practical descriptions of the journey to spreading and embedding a sense of belonging and agency across whole systems. This is a must-read for students to those in the mastery stage of their Organization Development craft. It will prepare the former for success in their dialogic organization development practice, while reminding the latter to return to the tried and true practices that are the essence of our field. —Dr. Yabome Gilpin-Jackson Change Champions offers a much-needed guide for transforming culture in a turbulent world. I'm deeply moved by diverse cohorts of employees learning to influence open dialogue throughout an organization and building a culture of respect, access, inclusion, engagement, and equity. Filled with meaningful stories and helpful designs, this is truly a gift for any leader or consultant who seeks to enable people to feel they belong and do their best work. —Sandra Janoff, PhD, Director, Future Search Network Dialogic OD is a term that Bob Marshak and Gervase Bushe have brought to life to describe approaches to working with organizations and teams that recognizes that people in the organization create the culture - the feel and experience of the everyday - in the stories people tell and the stories they live. In this book, Fred, Judith and Monica share their model for engaging change champions leaders and team members to create the narrative for a new more inclusive culture. Specifically, they build on decades of experience as thought leaders and change champions to promote "the promise of diversity" to create an everyday experience of inclusion and belonging. As someone who has worked with this team and has engaged with this model, I see this book as an important contribution to the field in providing concrete steps and guidance for the process for leading and facilitating change champions and leaders. —Ilene C.
