ORID Focused Conversation

Comment l'animer

1. 1

   Prepare questions for each ORID level before the session.

2. 2

   O — Objective: 'What did you see? What happened? What are the facts?' Get the group on the same factual page.

3. 3

   R — Reflective: 'What surprised you? What was exciting or troubling? How did you feel about it?' Surface the emotional response.

4. 4

   I — Interpretive: 'What does this mean for us? What are the implications? What patterns do you notice?' Build shared meaning.

5. 5

   D — Decisional: 'What will we do? What's our next step? Who does what by when?' Convert insight into action.

6. 6

   Do not skip levels or reverse the order — each level prepares the ground for the next.

Conseils

• Most meetings start at I or D and then fight about facts (O) and emotions (R) without realising it.

• The ORID sequence resolves this.

• The Reflective level is most often skipped — and most often the one that transforms a meeting.

Variantes

Use ORID as a coaching conversation structure. Apply it to document review, article debriefs, video screenings, or field visits.
