The role of the consultant in Dialogic OD is also consistent with Diagnostic OD’s emphasis on facilitating and enabling others as opposed to providing expert advice (Schein, 1969, 1988). Like the Diagnostic OD consultant, the Dialogic OD consultant’s expertise is in understanding human social processes and in offering change and decision-making processes and enabling conditions that support organizational goals and OD values. The underlying assumptions guiding the processes used by the Dialogic OD consultant in carrying out this role, however, appear somewhat different from those in Diagnostic OD. In Dialogic OD the consultant acts more as a facilitator of events and constructor of a container within which client systems engage themselves rather than being a central actor in diagnosis, intervention, and/or facilitation of interpersonal and group interactions—all hallmarks of Diagnostic OD. The consultant’s relationship to the client system, however, is similar in both versions of OD. In both forms of OD, consultants stay out of the content and focus, instead, on processes while members of the system deal with the content. And the OD consultant in both forms is concerned with developing the capacity of the client system and not developing client dependence on the consultant (Cummings & Worley, 2009).
