Leadership Entrepreneurship Stewardship PION-Studiedag Danielle Zandee 6 april 2016 Co-creatie in Praktijkonderzoek naar Organisatievraagstukken

Executive Education & Organizational Development slide 2 Mijn Positionering in Praktijkonderzoek Startpunt in de HR/MD/OD praktijk – co-creatie van verandering Wetenschap? Scholarly activism Verrijkende verbinding tussen praktijk ↔ theorie – inductief & proactief Sustainable OD: Wicked issues – Sociale innovatie  Veranderkundige kijk – leren navigeren in een transformerend speelveld  Hoe vormgeven aan innovatie richting duurzame praktijken?  Inzoomen op primaire proces – practice as the site of knowing  Theoretische en methodologische vernieuwing – generativiteit De belofte van “contemporary Action Research (AR)” als een “different (scientific) way of knowing” met grote relevantie voor zowel praktijk als theorie.

Executive Education & Organizational Development slide 3 Naar een Werkdefinitie van Contemporary AR (Bradbury, 2015)  A myriad of practices that have in common: A democratic and participative orientation to knowledge creation, Seeking to bring together action and reflection, theory and practice, In the pursuit of practical solutions to issues of pressing concern.  A pragmatic co-creation of knowing with, not on, or for people.  That integrates 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd person approaches  And moves beyond studies of the past, in its embrace of the present (moment-by-moment decision making and action) and the future (the full envelope of possibilities for what might be).

Executive Education & Organizational Development slide 7 Generatieve Kennis Ontwikkeling Generative theory (Gergen, 1978, 1994) Accounts that challenge the status quo and invite us into new worlds of meaning and action.

Generativity as occurrence of original ideas that create a sense of possibility and energize those who are involved to take joint novel action (Bushe, 2007) Generative moments in qualitative research as strips of experience that bring a feeling of energy and aliveness to people and also have the potential to produce more enduring expansive and transformative consequences with regards to 1) development of ideas, 2) development of researchers, their practices and relationships, and 3) though-action repertoires of people in the researched organizations (Carlsen & Dutton, 2011)

Executive Education & Organizational Development slide 8 Scholarly Activism: Conceptualiseren & Inspireren Activism? Aandacht voor de politieke dimensie van praktijkonderzoek Conceptualiseren – how to let the data speak Kans zien voor systematisch onderzoek vanuit de actie – unfolding, timely? Loslaten van dogma’s & durven spelen met methoden Hoe ver reikt de rol van co-researchers? Hoe recht doen aan intieme kennis zonder uit de school te klappen?
