Overview
Write a minimum of two pages in which you analyze how an organization can use ground rules and dialogue to
grow as a learning organization.
The team learning discipline helps a team sustain and reinforce its learning, and increases the capacity to act
synergistically and learn how to learn. Dialogue is a fundamental skill in the discipline of team learning, and is
essential to the effective practice of the other learning disciplines. Dialogue makes meaningful, shared vision
building possible. It makes systemic insight possible by facilitating reflection and inquiry in work groups.
Consequently, it is important to understand the value and nature of dialogue, and how it differs from other forms
of conversation.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course
competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Apply change management interventions.
Define and compare debate, discussion, and dialogue.

Context
Learning teams develop ground rules for truth telling, time usage, decision-making processes, and domains; to
create a safe conversational environment that allows a team to take risks, make mistakes, forgive, and recover.
This assessment provides you an opportunity to analyze the elements of skillful dialogue in a learning team,
increasing the ability to problem solve, create new knowledge, deliberate, and build relationships with other
teams and customers.

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a
fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.
Review The Ladder of Inference multimedia piece in the Resources. Consider the meaning of this concept
and your experience using it. What suggestions do you have for self-improvement when using it next
time? How might the ladder of inference apply to communication within an organization? How might it
diminish effectiveness in terms of organizational learning? Can dialogue play a useful role? If so, how?
Consider how dialogue can allow ostensibly conflicting allegiances or differences (for example, unionized
labor and management) while allowing an organization to learn as a common entity.
