Dialogic OD is based on a view of organizations as dialogic systems where individual, group, and organizational actions result from self-organizing, socially constructed realities created and sustained by the prevailing narratives, stories, and conversations through which people make meaning about their experiences. Organizations are considered to be complex phenomena where what people think and do is in a continuous process of meaning making and emergence. From this perspective change results from "changing the conversations" that shape everyday thinking and behavior through involving more and different voices, altering how and which people talk to each other, and/or by stimulating alternative or generative images, to shape how people think about things.
