Context, Context, Context: How Our Blindness to Context Cripples Even the Smartest Organizations

Oshry, a specialist in human systems thinking who has developed educational programs and training for organizations, uses a dialogue to describe how an organization struggled to achieve excellence and deal with blindness to systemic contexts, and the impact on on stalling change programs, undermining communication, sabotaging teamwork, and creating divisions. The dialogue explains how contexts shape experiences; how different roles in an organization, as well as that of the customer, have different contexts and create challenges; how each part of a system has a unique contribution; and how to put whole systems in context and become aware of contexts.
