Generative Consulting eBook

To "generate" means to create something that has not previously existed. The focus of "generative change" is to cultivate creativity: in teams, ventures, relationships and individuals. The goal of generative consulting, in particular, is to help teams and organizations evolve and function in ways that are both new and more effective.

Generative consulting often requires introducing a whole new mindset into an organization. This new mindset includes cognitive understanding but also involves engaging other forms of intelligence, such as somatic intelligence, emotional intelligence and collective intelligence.

In this book, we will show how the seven steps of the generative consulting DIAMOND Model can be applied, using multiple intelligences, to help teams and organizations stimulate growth, survive crises and manage transition. We will also show how the nine generative consulting competences can be used to inspire and empower individuals and teams to co-create a world to which they want to belong.
