What is Dialogic Intervention? Dialogic Intervention is a highly skilful consulting methodology, used by Dialogue Practitioners to intervene in any organisational or social system. Dialogic Intervention is vital when an organization or social grouping finds itself challenged - but does not appear to have the capability to prevent (or even substantially mitigate) a predictable and costly negative outcome. Without a dialogic intervention, people ‘watch the pending train crash’ unclear and impotent about what to do. Similarly, the challenge may be a significant opportunity of great potential benefit where people can feel the possibility ‘slipping through their fingers’ without the wherewithal to do anything effective.
Curriculum - a Two-Part Programme: The Dialogic Intervention programme has two parts: a) One week of in-person sessions with the faculty and fellow registrants in a select group of a maximum of 12 people, b) followed by Working Experience ‘flying time’ to demonstrate Dialogic Intervention capability. The Part 1 in-person session includes a) the theory of dialogic intervention, b) dialogic skills and practices, c) practitioner model building and d) delivery capability for this work – based on the direct experiences of the individual faculty members. Specific attention is given to a) how change occurs, b) what changes and why, c) how and when to deepen participation and awareness, and d) the discovery and development of each practitioner’s inherent aptitudes. The curriculum is primarily shaped by first-hand experience, not by book knowledge.
Assessment: Accreditation is awarded through a three-stage developmental process of self-assessment, followed by peer assessment and faculty assessment against developmental criteria endorsed by the Academy's Professional Standards and Accreditation Board.
