Structural dynamics is an empirically based framework of interpersonal communication and relationships that was discovered by David Kantor, Ph.D., a family systems psychologist in the 1970s. Dr. Kantor used the model in his clinical practice but quickly realized its applications to leaders and their teams. The use of the model has since spread internationally to many for and nonprofit firms including The World Bank, Harvard Business School, Shell, John’s Hopkins Medicine, Shriner’s, Frontera, Cradles to Crayons, the Association of Independent Schools of New England (AISNE) and AMICA Mutual Insurance Company.

Many coaches and organizational development practitioners have rejuvenated their practice through the use of the structural dynamics framework and assessment tools.
