What happens when we pause, zoom out, and ask: What are we really building?In this special episode of Unboxing OD, host Kenneth Pearson introduces The Flow of Five Tiers - a reflective, systems-based framework for understanding how real change happens inside organizations. Rather than offering another top-down model, this episode presents a fresh, integrated lens for OD practitioners and change leaders seeking clarity in complexity.Kenneth walks through each tier - Foundational Core, Leadership & Strategy, Culture & People, Processes & Systems, and Impact & Outcomes - exploring how these interconnected layers shape the flow of organizational life. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to identify misalignment, strengthen your interventions, and support sustainable change - not just at the surface, but at the system level.Rooted in idealism but grounded in experience, this conversation is both philosophical and practical. Because creating a healthy organization doesn’t start with a policy or a plan. It starts with people, especially the ones willing to ask better questions.The Flow of Five Tiers book will be available in May 2025 on the Pearson & Pearson LLC website, or wherever books are sold.Until then, this episode offers a meaningful introduction for those ready to shift from fragmentation to flow.Ask us a question!SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2430745/support CONNECT WITH KENNETH: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kenneth-pearson Pearson & Pearson LLC: www.pearsonpearson.llc E-Mail: [email protected] TO ORDER "THE FLOW OF FIVE TIERS": Buy The Flow of Five Tiers: A Framework for Structuring High-Functioning Organizations (20% Off) THE 1:1 PATHFINDING SESSIONhttps://calendly.com/kenneth-pearson/pathfinding-session
