The Friction of Sociopolitical Change: Organizational Responsiveness with Inclusive Practices (PDW)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 5 2017 from 9:00AM – 11:00AM
Location: Atlanta Marriott Marquis (Marquis M108)
Sponsors: ODC, GDO, D&ITC
PDW Overview: Recent shifts in our social and political environment have created frictions between colleagues and friends within academic and non-academic organizations, posing a unique social challenge and uncertainty about our collective future. These shifts have led to several questions about how organizations should respond, including determining the best research, teaching, and managerial response practices regarding inclusion. This interactive PDW will engage faculty, students, and practitioner-scholars in meaningful and collaborative dialogue about organizational and individual responses to social and political concerns, and how to move forward constructively using inclusion tools and practices.
PDW Structure: This PDW will begin with an interactive discussion with our panelists, followed by roundtable discussions with critical reflection of these issues and their role in scholarship, teaching, and practice. These discussions will culminate in a toolkit that offers guidance to achieve commonality and inclusion.
Panelists: Anne Huff (National University of Ireland Maynooth), Issac Addae (Tennessee State University), and Tammy Hunter (KPMG)
Organizers: Katerina Gonzalez (Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY), Ishva Minefee (Iowa State U.), Florencio F. Portocarrero (Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY), Sabrina Speights (UNC Charlotte), Nicole Fuller (Texas A&M U.), Toschia Hogan (Georgia Institute of Technology), and Danielle Jones (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
Who Can Attend?: Anyone! This PDW is open to all meeting participants, including students, tenure-track and tenured faculty, and practitioners. Pre-registration is not required.
PDW Survey: AOM members interested in participating in this PDW are encouraged to respond to a brief survey pertaining to social and political dilemmas they have confronted in the realms of research, teaching, and practice.

How can leadership development facilitate organization development in an era of complexity, turbulence, and ambiguity? Dialogic and other forms of leadership development focus on mindsets, framings, and ways of knowing in preference to (or alongside) more traditional notions of skills. We are convening a diverse array of scholars and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities inherent in contemporary approaches to LD and ODC.
The PDW will provide a forum for dialogue around three main questions. First, how do LD facilitators go about their work when operating in a dialogic mindset? What kinds of meanings and framings are involved? Two, how should we think about the links between LD and the creation of more change-adept organizations? And three, how do facilitators evaluate the impact of their efforts? What does meaningful evaluation look like, when the target of change is meaning-making, emergence, generativity?
Our goal is that participants will leave the PDW with expanded knowledge of contemporary meaning-focused LD, concrete ideas to address challenges in their own practice, new research directions, and connections to other scholar-practitioners working in this important arena.
We hope to see you in Atlanta!
