ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the relationship between content, structure, and process in the management of dialogue, at different levels of intervention and hierarchy, and with different sizes of group. It examines through a description of organizational development work with a Christian mission organization in London. The chapter provides Reflexive Inquiry (RI) approach to working with groups with the wider literature of large group work, in particular that of future conferencing, a hybrid of future search and search conferencing. It evaluates the principles of RI into some guidelines for designing structures for group dialogue. The chapter describes the aims, designs, and processes of several group events within the mission agency, one in greater detail than the others, to show the workings of RI in facilitating dialogue for organizational development with both large and small groups. The organization described made a commitment to RI principles in its development of organizational culture and structure.
