Location: Cape Town

I am OD consultant, currently living in Cape Town, South Africa

I understand conversation to be the most important process of organisational life and believe that the only way that organisations and groups of people change is when they change the conversations and the stories that are being told in organisations

I'm male, 44 years old, and stories, listening and telling, have always been part of my culture as a central part of the learning experience in context of oral and textual tradition. Stories for change and that can inspire, is all the more needed to bring effect to what it is to be human; and this is needed to be understood for insight to drive personal and collective change at community level and beyond. I believe participation in forums like these are critical for development practitioners and activists for social justice and participatory democracy to be effective in presenting new ideas. The story has universal appeal and significance since time immemorial. Listen...carefully...there a story on the breeze and it wants to be told...
