In this episode, I receive Magali Vives, a codevelopment (Codev) specialist.

Truly « addict » to cultural diversity, Magali calls herself a citizen of the world before anything else. Her mission is to contribute to improving the quality of interactions amongst individuals ; she is convinced that this is the key to a better world. Here is why, on a daily basis, she supports leaders and organizations worldwide and actively contributes to spreading the method of codevelopment.

She initiated a codevelopment world map and recorded a podcast with Claude Champagne, both in order to promote codevelopment beyond French-speaking countries.

So, what is codevelopment?

Codev is a structured communication approach to use when you want to find a solution to a problem, get ideas about something you are stuck with and so on. It is mostly use for professional topics but can also be used for personal questions.

A codev session is divided in 6 steps:

1. A subject is chosen by the participants and the person whose subject have been chosen (the client) explains the situation in more details

2. Clarifying questions. In this step, the other participants (the consultants) ask only clarifying questions, to ensure they have understood the situation correctly

3. Contract. The client confirms what he/she/they expect from the group

4. The consuktants then share ideas, suggestions in the form of for instance "If I were you, I would do, try...", without any judgement.

5. The client then defines what 2 to 4 suggestions she/he/they will follow and implement, without justifying their choice

6. The session finishes by all sharing their feedback on the session.

Listen for more details. Are you ready to use codev?
