No man is an island. John Donne, 1624 I dont think that Hugh goes far enough if products are conversations then it follows that organisations are conversations. Rich multiple conversations to be sure, not just chats around the coffee machine about last nights tv.
And conversations have two parts to them: the content and the relationship. The content is what is said and the relationship shapes how it is said and, perhaps more importantly, how it is heard. NLP is pretty good at giving us tools to look at the content all that precision stuff that we learnt. Its not too bad at looking at some of the meta-messages either but when it comes to the fundamentals of relationship with others it gets a bit weak. How do you work with your coaching clients in their relationships? Not just with significant others but with their colleagues, customers, connections . . . all the people that make up the network of relationships that is their organisation.
