I investigate dialogue, the flow of conversation when people really try to understand each other even when we seem to disagree.<br><br>My biggest insight from 20+ years of IT entrepreneurship is that we know so little about human cooperation. I believe this lack of understanding contributes to most of the difficulties in organizations, as well as to the crises we see in the world. This issue has been the topic of management research for decades. There is a growing awareness in organizations of this blind spot, exemplified by Google's Project Aristotle and many other initiatives, so I'm optimistic about a paradigm shift and feel a mission to contribute.<br><br>After leaving my operational role at Tacton in 2015, I have scanned widely for research on human cooperation. Among other studies, I spent two years on the multi-disciplinary research programme on complexity in management, founded by Ralph Stacey, at the University of Hertfordshire, UK - rooted in complexity theory, process sociology, pragmatic philosophy, and psychosocial group analysis.<br><br>I have concluded that the core challenge of cooperation is dialogue - to really try to understand each other even when we seem to disagree. We so easily get mutually reactive, adopting motivated reasoning and myside bias. We lose the sincere curiosity in what the other really means. We notice when others get defensive, but we are less aware of how we ourselves contribute that. This challenge gets in the way of everything else we do in organizations.<br><br>Sometimes conversations have a flow where we explore disagreements with mutual curiosity. This is called dialogue in contrast to discussion or debate. Dialogue can include upsetting conflict as well, if we can reconcile and learn from each other. <br><br>I investigate how dialogue can emerge between people and what can prevent it. I do this together with others who share the interest, researchers and practitioners. Let me know if you want to join that dialogue.
