Program Description:  Exploring a Method:  The Focused Conversation (O.R.I.D.)  The Focused Conversation Method—have you heard of it?  It's sometimes referred to as O.R.I.D., which is an abbreviation for Objective-Reflective-Interpretive-Decisional.  It was developed by the Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) as part of its Technology of Participation (ToP). This simple method is a format for dialogue, following a natural internal process. O.R.I.D. leads people through four levels of reflection to allow them to process experiences as a group, leading to greater participation, understanding, and communication.  It's been used for a variety of situations, including project planning, team-building, problem solving, and more.
 
Participants in this experiential session will learn and explore:
• The 4 stages of the Focused Conversation Method
• Trying it out on sample scenarios
• Exploring ways to apply the Method .
