In differentiating types of OD, we caution that it is not necessarily the tool that determines what kind of OD is being practiced as much as it is the premises behind how the tool is used. For example, one might appear to use an interpretive, dialogic orientation but still do so within a traditional OD framework of diagnosis and intervention (e.g., Heracleous & Marshak, 2004; Schein, 1992). Dialogic OD approaches will not attempt to diagnose systems so much as attempt to create events and containers where organizational members can increase their awareness of the variety of experiences in the system and how social reality is being coconstructed in their system with the purpose of creating alignment and support for change.
