Center for Applied Dialectics

Manifesto

  • There is a fascinating emerging body of knowledge in the field of adult development.
  • Notably, the insights around cognitive development are not fully accessible yet.
  • How would our world look if we applied these evolving insights to the fields of businesses, education, politics etc?
  • CAD, the Center of Applied of Dialectics, opens up a platform for practitioners in the field of adult development, integrating research into their practice, exchanging findings and thereby nourishing each other, empowering others to do likewise.

 
Next Salon:


When: Sept 27, 7:00-9:00 pm CET


Who: Jan De Visch


Topic: (R)evolutionize Leadership Development and Performance Management

Zoom link to join the call: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4778823751


Description:
Using provocative propositions, short break-out discussions, one real-life example, and a series of compacted insights, we create a dialogue to shape the future and lay the foundation for creating more humane organizations.


Human centered practices must support employees in the meaningful difference they want to make. This interactive session will explore what this means and how one can radically reshape leadership development and performance management. These are processes in which the relationship is shaped differently between evolving job design, individuals growing in perspective-taking, and teams dealing with the integration of shifting perspectives.
