Merging Behavioral and Developmental Practices: An Integral Framework for Deep Listening and Thinking

July 9, 2016 By Otto Laske 2 Comments

In this paper, the authors (Otto Laske, Alessandro Rossi) lay out a practical approach to integral counseling (part A) and consulting to teams (part B), based on the Constructive Developmental Framework (CDF). The main topic is how to combine interventions for strengthening developmental level and cognitive fluidity, seen as intrinsically related as well as mingled in practice.  CDF tools are described as prompts that trigger evidence about the frame of reference based on which clients and teams think, feel, and make decisions. Theoretically, the proposed framework includes and transcends both Wilber’s quadrants and Bhaskar’s moments of dialectic, showing a path toward integral constellations work for which teachable and learnable pragmatic tools are presently hard to find.

Dialectical Thinking as a Culture Transformation Instrument for Organizations.

September 23, 2015 By Otto Laske Leave a Comment

In this new book (to appear in 2016), addressed to CEO’s, board members, and members of executive teams, Otto Laske takes an in-depth look at his Constructive Developmental Framework as a culture transformation instrument. The book focuses on organizational discourse culture as the lever by which fundamental changes come about when engaging with new forms of one-on-one and peer-listening once these are grounded in systemic dialectical thinking and an ability to “read” social-emotional meaning making in company discourse.

In the tradition of consulting work based on CDF, culture transformation effects transpire in all areas of crucial important for company flourishing and breakthroughs: level of innovation, strategy design, talent management, peer-to-peer interactions in groups and teams, and the definition of new business models. The book delivers insight into the human operating system supporting holocracy.

While “active listening” has been much emphasized in coaching, hosting, and DoJo4Life work, structured listening in terms of CDF is not only active but DEEP. It is deep because it is focused on joining two aspects implicit in every communication: the level of speakers’ social-emotional meaning making, and the level of making cognitive sense of the world and handling its complexity. As shown in the book, both aspects are inseparable and determine “how the world shows up” for people, and how therefore they go about trying to “change” it for their purposes.

In 5 chapters, the short book elucidates the nature and practice of structured deep listening which opens up channels of innovation and breakthrough not previously imagined. Emphasis is put on the PRACTICE of exploring the biggest picture available of a situation, its unceasing way of changing, and its intrinsic relatedness with what to logical minds seems outside of focus (but isn’t). This practice is linked to that of being aware of one’s own internal positioning toward others, embedded in social-emotional meaning making.

Anchored in high-level competences of using CDF as an instrument of individual and team assessment, as well as a 15 year long practice of teaching CDF to an international study body in several languages, Otto’s writing makes palpable the excitement readers will experience when CDF tools enable them to “see” their organizational world at large in the novel light of insight into how people make meaning and “think”.

The books aims to renew readers’ resources for fresh thinking unimpeded by scientific and ideological paradigms that are presently blocking achievable breakthroughs. It is also the basis of workshops on rewiring team dynamics.
