Genarrative

“Genarrativity, Future Forming Practices for Building Better Legacies” is a magnetic memoir of an independent Dutch organization development (OD) consultant who, next to his already dynamic and purpose driven life, spent five years of PhD research into the concept of Organizational Generativity, aiming to contribute to an organization's capability to create better futures for all its stakeholders. As a reader-manager, community leader, process consultant, OD scholar or PhD candidate-you are initiated into the unruly art of academic inquiry, and slightly become yourself a co-creator of the research being executed. Through personal cases, bits of peer-reviewed work, and new (un)frameworks, this book makes you understand and enhance the life of organizations and other communities in unexpected new ways. In a dialogical and immersive learning journey full of sudden surprises-as emergence requests-you are guided across a richness of sources, wisdom, reflections and practices urging you to learn and share the art of genarrativity yourself. Cees Hoogendijk not only promotes organizational and societal flourishing; he shows you the way.
