Open forum: those who do know!

The question is not so much whether there is a right time, but rather how to recognise the signs that indicate that the time is right.it's time to act.

Are you observing any of these indicators?

• Exploring a central theme : when a problem requires a variety of perspectives and you need access to richer solutions than those offered by an isolated individual. In his book, The Fifth Discipline, sociologist Peter Senge says: " The organisations that learn are those that succeed in creating an environment where collective intelligence can express itself.
• Creating authentic links: you feel that the energy in your organisation is low, cold or strained. In a setting where authenticity and freedom of exchange are encouraged, participants can make meaningful connections. Brene Brown, a lecturer specialising in the study of courage, points out that " true connection is based on authenticity and the ability to be vulnerable. "
• Sharing values, a raison d'être and ideas You are a visionary with a desire to think big, and you are aware of the complexity of moving the ship forward alone! This process favours open-mindedness and the constructive confrontation points of view. Clayton Christensen, in The Innovator's Dilemma, explains that ". disruptive innovation happens when companies listen to the voices of customers and employees."
• (Re)giving meaning :  An open forum is an opportunity to revitalising a joint projectto inject new energy into the business and strengthening commitment. Daniel Pink, in Drive, stresses the importance of intrinsic motivation: ". People are motivated by deeper reasons than simply their pay. They want meaning in their work. "

The open forum then becomes an engine for movement, d'evolution andadaptation. In a constantly changing world, it's not enough to be strong ; you have to be able to anticipate and adjust.
