‘Sōzō-sei no Tenkai’: Last weekend in NYC, I had the honor of presenting my work at the ISPSO & TNYC Northeast North America Regional Meeting (https://lnkd.in/eykM-_Wx). The experience sparked rich discussions and explorations among a remarkable group of practitioners. Over the past two years, I’ve designed and piloted a multi-disciplinary intervention as part of my Executive Master in Change at INSEAD. This journey has unveiled profound insights into the intricacies of organizational exploration and transformation. Guided by the theme ‘Exploring Artistic Expressions’, I connected with 40 diverse professionals, sharing the framework of my practitioner research. Together, we explored how human experiences and dynamics within a sector can be explored far beyond the confines of traditional employee surveys and consulting methods. The contour drawing and social drawing matrix exercises added depth and richness to our conversation. A heartfelt thank you to Mette Charis Buchman and the organizing team for creating such a warm, safe space for collective learning. It was truly inspiring to engage with sincere and intelligent practitioners who share a deep passion for group relations and systems psychodynamics. These dialogues not only spark new insights but also open exciting opportunities for organizational development. P.s. This photograph captures a moment from a reflective walk and talk in Manhattan. Just a day later, this setting served as the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations, reminding me of the importance of taking time to reflect and connect. Thank you Tim Lehman, for the thoughtful stroll! #sozoseinotenkai #organizationaldevelopment #grouprelations #systemspsychodynamics #ispso #INSEADEMC
