  1. Communicative interaction as a Theory-driven Practice

  2. Theories are Ways of Seeing

  3. Theories are Ways of Seeing • Theories direct our attention, organize our experience, and enable action.

  4. Theories are Ways of Seeing • Theories direct our attention, organize our experience, and enable action. • The theories we bring to a situation partly reveal and partly conceal options for interaction.

  5. Window-Bashing

  6. Window-Bashing • Repetitively using an old theory in a situation for which it is not useful.

  7. Window-Bashing • Repetitively using an old theory in a situation for which it is not useful. • The theories may have been perfectly suited to solve the old problem; but they fail in new situations

  8. Question: Where do theories come from?

  9. Theories are Ways of Seeing • Diversity in our implicit theories can be a source of collective intelligence if we have good conflict-communication practices

  10. Theories are Ways of Seeing • Diversity in our implicit theories can be a source of collective intelligence if we have good conflict-communication practices • But we often fail to recognize and benefit from others’ “ways of seeing.”

  11. Theories are Ways of Seeing • Diversity in our implicit theories can be a source of collective intelligence if we have good conflict-communication practices • But we often fail to recognize and benefit from others’ “ways of seeing.” • And we consent to theories that we didn’t actively create or choose.

  12. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice

  13. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice • Conflicts arise out of window-bashing scenarios

  14. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice • Conflicts arise out of window-bashing scenarios • Conflicts arise when we consent to meanings/theories that aren’t our own and are not in our best interest

  15. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice • Conflicts arise out of window-bashing scenarios • Conflicts arise when we consent to meanings/theories that aren’t our own and are not in our best interest • Conflicts arise out of clashes between parties with different implicit theories about a given problem

  16. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice • In these cases, we’ll strive to make our theories explicit—and then negotiate potentially new and better theories together.

  17. Conflict as Theory-Driven Practice • In these cases, we’ll strive to make our theories explicit—and then negotiate potentially new and better theories together. • This is especially important in conditions of rapid change, interdependence, and pluralism
