6:55 pm fourgroups: Just starting the #relational twitter chat with @stevehearsum @tiarcarr and @RMInstitute
7:01 pm fourgroups: Why are organisations reluctant to both ‘think’ relationally or invest in the relational intelligence of their people? #relational
7:05 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups bec unless it is measurable the #relational is deemed unimportant – flawed thinking IMO
7:11 pm fourgroups: .@stevehearsum what about team conflicts and arguments people experience? #relational
7:14 pm fourgroups: .@stevehearsum @NicheMasterMan – how do you measure #relational factors?
7:16 pm SaharConsulting: what is your definition of #relational?
7:17 pm fourgroups: #relational for me is the spaces, patterns, dynamics + experiences between people (but could also be between other things too, e.g. orgs)
7:18 pm fourgroups: @SaharConsulting what is your definition of #relational then btw?
7:32 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups add to that #motivation,;the primary urge of humans to be in #relationship is core to #relational
7:35 pm fourgroups: @stevehearsum We are all social and #relational?
7:37 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups indeed. To be #social is to be #relational., and the latter is often forgotten when the former is discussed.
7:41 pm fourgroups: @stevehearsum so why do you think #relational is forgotten when people talk about #social?
7:46 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups because to engage in the #relational, it requires a willingness to inquire into self,. Many (most?)
7:47 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups pt2! people are not willing to do that #relational
7:48 pm fourgroups: @stevehearsum “Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” #Jung #relational perhaps?
7:50 pm stevehearsum: RT @fourgroups: @stevehearsum “Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” #Jung #relational perhaps?

8:05 pm EmergentLdr: #relational comes from elation to travel with energy, lation is conyey
8:05 pm stevehearsum: @EmergentLdr the suffix -al?… Hmmmm…. A generative process, on-going, co-created?… #relational
8:07 pm fourgroups: From a resume “strong understanding of #relational & demoralized databases” LOL icon smile Transcript of the #relational twitter chat @peteskomoroch @strlen @squarecog @neil_conway
8:09 pm fourgroups: @EmergentLdr so e means to travel with energy? and lation is conyey? intriguing… #relational

stevehearsum: RT @fourgroups: What is the value of a #relational perspective? 7:07 pm fourgroups:

#relational – the position and other properties of the objects are only meaningful relative to other object http://ow.ly/2y6yD #socbiz #hr 7:09 pm stevehearsum:

RT @fourgroups: #relational – the position and other properties of objects are only meaningful relative to other object http://ow.ly/2y6yD 7:10 pm stevehearsum: @fourgroups re #relational: does that mean I am an ‘object’? Interesting….

7:10 pm fourgroups:

20 – 40% of #performance is determined by the quality of people’s relationships http://ow.ly/2y6Hj #relational #hr #socbiz 7:10 pm RMInstitute:

@fourgroups #socialbiz #hr – so #relational pertains to the meaningfulness of our #relationships 7:12 pm fourgroups:

@stevehearsum objects purely serving as a semantix crux, aka a label of convenience, nothing more, nothing less #relational 7:12 pm stevehearsum: @RMInstitute – and in turn we each have a subjective and personal notion of meaningfulness #relational 7:12 pm

RMInstitute: @fourgroups – yes and the quality of our #relationships is determined buy quality of our cumulative interactions #relational #hr #socbiz 7:14 pm fourgroups:

@RMInstitute #relational for me is about the connections and ‘spaces’ we create in-between each other, whilst acknowleding each other 7:16 pm RMInstitute: @stevehearsum yes subjective and yet our relationships provide real value – although not easily identified #relational #hr #socbiz 7:16 pm stevehearsum: @RMInstitute @fourgroups for, me, our individual #phenomenological position is core to what emerges from the #relational 7:19 pm RMInstitute:

@fourgroups Yes absolutely the connections and the ‘space’ – the space is where the potential exists icon wink Transcript of the #relational twitter chat #relational #hr #socbiz 7:21 pm stevehearsum:

@fourgroups @steveharsum @tiacarr #relational Do politicians have personal relationships – Do they go out for a beer after parliament? 7:33 pm stevehearsum:

@fourgroups …another example in the business world e.g. Steve Jobs / Wozniak, the Time Warner/AOL merger foundered on the #relational also 7:34 pm fourgroups: @stevehearsum Tony + Gordon *might* have had Rel. of Discovery, problems may emerge over small points of detail + trivial items #relational 7:35 pm

fourgroups: Is #relational a watchword or a proxy for #conflict? 7:37 pm stevehearsum:

@fourgroups being less flippant, #conflict is an important facet/aspect of the #relational 7:39 pm RMInstitute: @fourgroups @steveharsum @tiacarr #relational Fit or Form? Do we need to fit into an existing culture or can a new culture be informed 7:40 pm fourgroups:

@stevehearsum surely there would be no #relational without some form of #conflict – a world without conflict is homogenous in the extreme? 7:42 pm RMInstitute:

@tiacarr Yes – thinking relationally is a change of thinking – @fourgroups @stevehearsum #relational #hr 7:43 pm stevehearsum:

@RMInstitute it depends on your definition of ‘culture’…. we need to establish shared understanding of the construct, #relational 7:44 pm tiacarr: RT @stevehearsum: @RMInstitute it depends on your definition of ‘culture’…. we need to establish shared understanding of the construct, #relational

Themes to emerge during the interview this time round:

  • Where now for collaboration? In the context of the economic downturn, and reduced budgets for OD in general, how do collaboration specialists make a strong business case for what they do?
  • Measuring the impact of collaboration – ‘impact’ seems to be used often in conjunction with collaboration in the UK. But what does it mean? How easy/difficult is it to balance the impact that a business may wish to achieve with what individuals experience?
  • Leadership and collaboration – to what extent is collaboration seen by management as ‘something that other people do’?
  • Educating organisations in how to move to new collaborative models: what are the most effective ways of doing this?

David is the founder and Managing Director of Collaborative Strategies. He specializes in, amongst other things, online community and social network marketing & development, community management and various related fields. He is the author of 42 Rules for Successful Collaboration.
