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.
