Cousin Monica's Words: March 2012
http://mjwitzig.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Lest you think I forwent March's charity! Headquartered in Boulder, Colo., but carrying out its mission in Latin America, Reading Village. Supports literacy efforts in Guatemala. Imagine it: If you couldn't read, you'd have trouble with directions, addresses, menus, names, etc. And this is all in our highly developed country. In Guatemala, the literacy rate is low, the communities are poor, the school system is lacking, and the idea of well-stocked libraries is laughable. The Br...

Developing Human Systems: In or Out of the Box?
http://human-systems.blogspot.com/2012/11/in-or-out-of-box.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. In or Out of the Box? We've all heard people talk about "out-of-the-box thinking" in conversations, at meetings, or in the news media. But does everyone know the origin of this phrase? Maybe not. And not knowing, they have a slightly different concept in mind- different from its original intention or usage. What do you think it means? The term actually comes from a simple but very effective exercise that is sometimes used in consulting, coaching, and teaching:. We can apply thi...

Thursday, April 8, 2010. Scanning the Future, While Acting in the Present. Being an OD Practitioner in the 21st century is becoming more challenging, and perhaps more important. Guess how your clients feel? The growing need is for ways to guide change in the present, while keeping the future in mind. Consider what you are noticing about how our world is changing. What trends are you aware of in your own work experience, reading, media reports, travels? And you may be interested in the results of a. John,...

Developing Human Systems: Is it Resistance or Incubation? The Exponential Shape of Change
http://human-systems.blogspot.com/2010/08/exponential-pace-of-change.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Is it Resistance or Incubation? The Exponential Shape of Change. I was talking with a good friend today about her struggle to initiate positive changes in the organization she works in. She described the tendency of most people there to avoid talking about certain crucial subjects. This is not unusual- most organizations have certain "unspeakable" topics. There is a tacit agreement to not talk about the elephant in the room, or the emperor's transparent new clothes. I was feel...

Developing Human Systems: Competition or Collaboration?
http://human-systems.blogspot.com/2011/02/competition-or-collaboration.html
Wednesday, February 9, 2011. It’s useful to know the game we’re playing, and the rules that govern play. Sometimes we can be playing several games with the same people at the same time. We may be winning at one game, but we're losing at a more important one. I wouldn’t want to get my nose broken again, though, just to get girls’ attention. But looking back at the incident, I had been a problematic opposing player, and the elbow to my nose had taken me out of the game, and out of the way. To yours. My...
