Leadership in the co-creation of positive change in our organizations and communities facilitated by conversations for meaningful action.

Designing with Dialogue (DwD) is a Toronto community of practitioners that gathers monthly to convene dialogue as a practice in social designing for the purposes of engaging the organizations, projects, and civic communities to which we're committed.

As of January 2009, we have moved the DwD web presence to a dedicated website at: designwithdialogue.com

From January on, we will meet the second Wednesday of every month at the Strategic Innovation Lab, OCAD, Toronto.




While we learn and practice methods of disciplined conversation and open dialogue, our purposes lie beyond the salon. We each have communities and organizations we work with and care about. Our purposes are facilitate social and structural change by adopting dialogic models as modes of social design in complex, multi-stakeholder problem situations. Join us if you have something to learn and contribute.


This site and our "searching together" is dedicated to Dr. Liss Jeffrey, McLuhan Scholar and organizer of the eCommons / Agora Electronique and the first pan-Canadian online dialogues on Foreign Policy. We miss her voice and presence in the community.
