SYMLOG is an exceptionally powerful method for working with diverse groups.
Diversity comes in many forms, e.g., race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs,
work experience, professional affiliation, et cetera. Such differences can
be divisive in many situations. At a deeper level, every group can be seen as
diverse in terms of interpersonal dynamics. Every individual is unique and has his
or her own value orientation, which may polarize or conflict
with that of others in the group even if other factors like sex, race, ethnicity,
or professional affiliation are all very similar.
If the objective is to help integrate and unify diverse groups to
work well and effectively together then SYMLOG is an ideal method.
SYMLOG has been translated and used in seventeen languages in over
sixty countries. It is especially well suited for use
in cross-cultural settings involving different languages, nationalities,
ethnic backgrounds, and occupations. Since it is a values-based
approach to improvement and increased effectiveness, it cuts through
superficial differences and addresses deeper (and universal) concerns
which tend to unify or polarize individuals, groups, and organizations.
SYMLOG helps people discover their commonality and learn to work
more effectively together.
