“…His critique of the former is its continuation of a ‘Cartesian legacy of spatial and temporal separation’ (Zundel, 2012: 112). Such attempts to overcome dichotomous separation of the here and now, and of mind and body, are integral to calls for critical reflection in organisations that invite more embodied ways of knowing (Mack, 2015) and take us ‘beyond the head’ (Pässilä, 2012, cited by Cotter et al, 2016). Action-based approaches such as arts-based methods (Adler, 2015; Sutherland, 2012) and research-based theatre are advocated to elicit sensory experience that encompasses ‘political, emotional and ethical components of organizing’ (Cotter et al, 2016: 2).…”

Critical reflection is a process of bringing unquestioned assumptions to the fore for critique, through paying attention to dissatisfactions, discrepancies, tensions and contradictions in experience. It is important because it helps reveal the complexities for and against learning that are embedded in a particular context. Aesthetics and a focus on emotional and political dynamics are two approaches already being used to encourage learning through critical reflection. However, this article argues there is still more benefit to be gained from understanding how and why a focus on the body can support critically reflective perspectives on learning. My contribution is to illustrate how Buddhist practices of mindfulness meditation and associated philosophy can inform a somatic learning process that connects bodily sensation to cognition.

“…Even though a first hands-on development project to be considered would be cooperation between different functions, other statements need attention as well. As it is now, we suggest cultural tools, for example organizational theatre (Pässilä & Oikarinen, in press;Pässilä, Oikarinen, & Vince, 2012) to be used in this case. If the other statements were to be considered more important, a more analytical and traditional tool could be used.…”

Before launching a development project to enhance innovation capability, it is essential to know how innovation capability is comprehended. This paper suggests a procedure to locate the development targets of organizational innovation capability before making decisions on projects. First, from the viewpoint of practice-based innovation, an understanding of the concept of innovation capability is provided. Further, the suggested classification for innovation capability provides a basis for developing the measurement instrument. Finally, to answer the research question of how an innovation intervention should be targeted, this paper uses practical experiences of implementing the procedure in the setting of a single case company.

“…Is it the difficulties associated with providing evidence that prevents artful interventions making it into workplaces? Is it because management demand a rational approach and innovative interventions are not always proven to be effective or is it more because of the risk involved -the chance that something will go wrong (Passila et al, 2012)?…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the phenomenon of workplace bullying in response to recent calls for the development of different approaches and provide an exploration of artful approaches to intervention. Design/methodology/approach The paper offers a unique conceptualisation of workplace bullying and applies a phenomenological lens to the issue. A review of literature explores the potential value of artful interventions, and drawing on authors’ knowledge and experience with the targets of bullying, they design a forum theatre intervention for use in practice. Findings This paper argues that phenomenology offers a unique and valuable approach to understanding workplace bullying and its management. In turn, the authors propose that artful ways of engaging with workplace bullying could be an effective way of empowering workers in a “moment” of workplace bullying, and present a forum theatre workshop specifically designed for application in workplace contexts where bullying is prevalent. The three-phase workshop aims to help employees critically reflect on their current work practices and is intended for use in small group teaching. Research limitations/implications The long-term impact of this intervention has not been evaluated against more traditional methods of addressing this problem. Future research should evaluate the efficacy of this, and other art-based interventions, in workplace settings. Originality/value Workplace bullying research is predominantly conducted from a functionalist perspective, and other methods of inquiry, such as phenomenology, are rarely considered. This paper argues for artful interventions and provides an original, tailored workshop designed to empower employees to recognise and respond to bullying in the workplace.
