Presencing Stories – Sensing into deeper forms of organizational collaboration
Justus Wachs, Uri Yitzchak Noy Meir
Many organizations tackle systemic crises while remaining “under-resourced, fragmented and marginal” (Waddock et al., 2022, p. 78). To increase the organizations’ transformative agency, Waddock et al. (2022) call for the establishment of ‘Transformation Systems’, where actors recognize themselves as part of an interconnected whole and develop shared narratives and action agendas. Many of those working in organizations have experienced glimpses of such transformative collaborations. Following Scharmer’s suggestion to learn “from the future as it emerges” (Scharmer, 2008, p.7), this session will use storytelling and embodied methods to explore such instances where participants experienced the profound potential of organizational collaboration.
