Leading Edge Thinking & Proven Practice​

Dialogos was founded in 1995 to promote the practice and development of dialogue and generative change. For three decades, these groundbreaking methodologies have helped clients around the world discover new forms of leadership and organizational transformation.

The firm traces its roots to 1990 when William Isaacs co-founded (with Peter Senge) the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT, a consortium of 25 leading companies dedicated to cross-organizational learning and change. Based on the success of this alliance, Dr. Isaacs received a major grant from the Kellogg Foundation to found and run the MIT Dialogue Project, which initiated cross-boundary conversational experiments around the world. This groundbreaking work, supported by seminal theory, would lay the practical foundation for dialogos.

Today, dialogos is comprised of pioneers and practitioners, consultants and coaches, project managers, and thought leaders. Dialogos teams work with client organizations and complex, multi-client group leaders around the world to transform their capabilities and catalyze change. Our principals originated many of the central techniques commonly found in successful business and consulting practices, including organizational learning, dialogue, and dialogic process consultation. These techniques inform every dialogos engagement and are core to our practice with individual, team, and organizational transformation.

We continue to develop new insight, new theory, and new methods for catalyzing profound change in close partnership with some of the world’s leading organizations and senior leaders.
