"We have reached the end of problem solving as a mode of inquiry capable of inspiring, mobilizing, and sustaining human system change. The future of Organization Development belongs to methods that affirm, compel, and accelerate anticipatory learning involving larger and larger levels of collectivity."

David L. Cooperrider

"It is proposed that a form of free dialogue may well be one of the most effective ways of investigating the crisis which faces society, and indeed the whole of human nature and consciousness today. Moreover, it may turn out that such a form of free exchange of ideas and information is of fundamental relevance for transforming culture and freeing it of destructive misinformation, so that creativity can be liberated." 

David Bohm

"The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in
using it."

Goethe

"Partnering with life, working with its cohering motions, requires that we take life's direction seriously. Life moves toward wholeness. This direction cannot be ignored or taken lightly. People do not respond for long to small and self-centered purposes or to self-aggrandizing work. Too many organizations ask us to engage in hollow work, to be enthusiastic about small-minded visions, to commit ourselves to selfish purposes, to engage our energy in competitive drives. Those who offer us this petty work hope that life's great motions are somehow absent from us.. "When we respond with disgust, when we withdraw our energy from such endeavors, it is a sign of our commitment to life and to each other. Like all life, we can pursue a direction only toward wholeness...."
