In the Media Gallery you will find a video clip that focuses on 1) a diagnostic/system thinking approach to whole organization intervention and 2) a video clip that focuses on a dialogic/social constructionist approach to whole organization intervention:

1) Open Space Interviews Harrison Owen, Peggy Holman, Nev Kennard. They discuss the use of Open Space Technology as an intervention. Open space is discussed on pg. 326 in the text. Harrison Owen is the inventor of this technique. Peggy Holman is a well-known OD practitioner. Nev Kennard is a user of Open Space.

2) Kaapz and Future Search. This is an animation that outlines the principles used in the Future Search methodology created by Marin Weisbord and Sandra Janoff. Future Search is discussed in the text on page 302

Consider Case Study 8, p. 336.

Are either of these whole organization interventions appropriate for the situation described in the case...why? What advice/cautions/considerations would you suggest to potential users of these approaches?
