Abstract
NOTE: The evolution of CORPTALK involved many energetic and inspiring conversations with my dear friend, collaborator, teacher and mentor, Dr. John (Jay) Mince. Over the years, Jay and I joined efforts to transfer the principles of social constructionism and therapeutic dialogue – communication -- into the corporate culture. Often our conversations would take on a life of their own and over time, we learned to trust these meanderings as actual examples of what it was we most wanted to engender through our work with those in industry. Interdependence, variation or diversification and self-organization -- the underlying principles of systems theory -- provide the architecture for recognizing conversation as a living system. Following is just one example of a thought process, a riff of sorts, conducted through our conversations and correspondence. It draws on Jay’s explorations and teaching about “living scripts” and represents an investigation, and, an invitation to re-vision our work within the business world.
