Organizing Reflection
Russ Vince
The University of Glamorgan, Wales, UK, rvince{at}glam.ac.uk
The aim of this article is to consider what is involved in the practice of reflection for organizational learning and change. My emphasis is on reflection as an organizing process rather than on the individual, `reflective practitioner'. I describe a way of `organizing reflection' that can create and sustain opportunities for organizational learning. After a brief explanation of the company involved and the action research, I explore some of the literature on reflection. I continue by describing four reflective practices. These are: peer consultancy groups, role analysis and role analysis groups, communities of practice, and group relations conferences. I explain and explore each of these and define their impact at different levels of organizing. Collectively, these four reflective practices constitute an approach to reflection that represents one way of organizing for learning and change.
