Abstract

This Capstone is a reflective summary of the learnings gained during my journey in the Organizational Dynamics graduate program at the University of Pennsylvania. As I have been proactively working on transitioning to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), I decided to collect five valuable lessons from Organizational Dynamics that I want to bring to the next chapter of my professional life. As a result, I pulled common threads from different courses and experiences in the program to create a guidebook for myself and anyone else who is eager to create an inclusive, just, and safe work environment for all. Each lesson explores a different concept together with a method (or methods) that can be used to put it in practice and its DEI application(s). The concepts—including curiosity, transformative learning, contained chaos, implicit bias, and feedback—create a broad spectrum of organizational solutions for building a human-centered and learning-oriented organization where everyone can thrive.
