Description of Services

Dynamic Judgement-building^® is a very flexible process-instrument for increasing productivity of our communication. It is applicable in any setting which has two ore more people engaged in a conversation who wish to explore and resolve issues. It can be used for the purpose of problem solving, sales calls, performance reviews, meetings and customer contacts, etc., but also as a concept for Management Development. It utilizes the nonlinear quality of our natural conversation and is based on the dialogue principles of inquire and reflection. By 'staying in the question' complexity is ordered and a safe environment is created for the participants to listen to and help each other resolve issues.

It has been successfully used as an organization wide intervention for change. And it has been used for intra as well as inter group conflict resolution. Obviously, a macro level intervention will require a different approach than micro intervention.

At a micro level, most commonly, best results can be achieved by spending a two days session and (one or more) one day sessions together working through real issues. The first session introduces the concepts and methods used and surfaces real work issues which need to be addressed by the group in the room. The remainder of the session(s) focuses on facilitating action learning to use the process in real time to work real issues. The follow up session(s) are normally spaced approximately four weeks apart but this depends on the kind of trainingsprogramme the client has chosen. These sessions focus on the results that have been achieved in the interim and to continuously improve the application of Dynamic Judgement-building. Follow up sessions can also be arranged as video conference meetings.

How does Dynamic Judgement-building^® work?

The process in a group:

• A participant identifies a situation which is causing them 'pain', irritation, pressure, etc.,
• They describe their feelings and share a question which describes their concern;
• The participants ask questions which reflect the fields (squares) of inquiry;
• The issue owner (' I ') reflects on -, and answers the questions posed;
• The dialogue flows and the initial question may change as needed until resolution.

The method doesn't prescribe a specific line of questioning, it is non-liniar.
