PDW: How Do We Put Trust Research Into Practice?
Saturday, August 4, 2-5pm
Over the last decade or so, research on trust in organizational settings has flourished. Meanwhile, it has become painfully evident to practitioners that trust is critical for organizational and individual success and well-being. Unfortunately, however, little of the academic research on trust has made its way into practice.
This Professional Development Workshop aims to bridge the gap between scholarly research and practitioner activities by bringing together a set of panelists who have studied trust academically and/or have directly influenced trust levels or the practice of trust within organizations. The first presenter, Kurt Dirks of Washington University, will briefly summarize "what we know" from the trust literature that is likely to be relevant to practice. This will be followed by presentations by: (1) Patricia O'Connor of the Center for Creative Leadership, who will talk about trust issues and interventions in large-scale action learning programs; (2) Darryl Stickel of Trust Unlimited, who will discuss his experience developing and rolling out a trust training program for corporate and executive education use; (3) Katinka Bijlsma-Frankema of Free University and Antoinette Weibel of the University of Zurich, who will discuss their experience as consultants to design and implement an organizational trust repair intervention; and (4) Robert Galford of the Center for Executive Development, who has authored a trust-related Harvard Business Review article, two trust-related books, and consults and trains extensively on trust-related issues. We will conclude the discussion with some specific action items that might be adopted for better putting trust research into practice.
The PDW will be held at the upcoming <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management Meeting</st1:placename> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Philadelphia</st1:city></st1:place>, Saturday, 4 August 2007, 2-5pm.
