Make a Difference! Minimize

 

A favorite mantra in organizations these days seems to be “organic growth,” and innovation is often touted as the way to get there, but in practice it frequently becomes just a nonthreatening way to talk about making major changes.

 

Yet change is fundamentally risky. As creativity is at the root of real innovation, being innovative means forging new paths. So, how do you do that?

 

We invite you to join us in exploring how innovation can be intentionally inspired in individuals and teams. By applying and sharing approaches from dialogue, participative systems design, and psychology we can learn how to purposefully bring about transformative and innovative insights in groups.

 

For the 18th annual Asilomar conversation, we will meet at the beautiful ocean-side Asilomar conference center in Pacific Grove, California. To inspire an informed dialogue and meet varying needs from novice to expert, we will offer a 3-day education track overlapping with a traditional 5-day dialogue track.  The 5-day conference structure is based on the ISI conversation process.

 

Due to popular request, we are also offering pre-conference tutorials in an on-line format.
