This, rather organizational practice was
first developed by theoretical physicicist David Bohm, and later was adopted by Harvard
psychologist Chris Argyris with some modifications. Bohm used this method extensively to bring about transofmative shift, deep change in mindset - to bridge divisive, compartmental,
defensive attitudes among oppsoing scientists and business leaders alike, across disciplines and regions and to collaboratively create new thought platform that could transform persisting probelms. Quantum
physicist by profession, Bohm explained this discipline of group thinking,
which he called “dialogs” - in many of his papers and books extensively. In my opinion, it is by far the most critical group
or organizational skill in thinking through strategy in business.
