Research has consistently found that a Dialogic Mindset is a superior approach to change leadership versus the Kotter/Change Management approach, particularly when dealing with complex, wicked, adaptive challenges.  In a world of increased complexity and uncertainty developing a dialogic mindset is pivotal to success. In this masterclass, Gervase will share his latest findings on leading and facilitating organizational change to produce rapid, transformational results.

Examples of studies:

Hastings & Schwartz, Leading Change Processes for Success. J of App Beh Sci, 2022, Vol. 58(1) 120–148

Giacomini, Rocca and Tonoli. Exploring Materiality and Stakeholder Engagement in European Water Utilities’ Sustainability Strategies, Organizational Practices, and Reporting. Business Strategy and the Environment. Epub ahead of print 2024.

Hastings. Guidance for successful healthcare transformation: A systematic review of change management practices and outcomes. Australian Journal of Management, 2025.

During the masterclass you will

  • Understand the basic requirements for rapid transformational change.
  • Identify ways to engage leaders in this new way of leading change.
  • Confront and compare your current beliefs and practices with the Dialogic Mindset.
  • Work on a live case, applying generative change principles to deepen your understanding and ability to bring these processes into your change practice.
