In spite of its central role in the Tavistock Clinic's approach to training organisational consultants, little literature on the use of work discussion groups in this area is to be found. In this article I attempt to fill this gap by exploring and furthering our understanding of the work discussion method. I argue that work discussion is an important component in the training of Tavistock inspired organisational consultants and that its particular strength lies in its use of group processes to explore the plurality of experiences around consultancy work. I further argue that key to the exploration of these experiences is the facilitation of curiosity, emotional contact, and thought concerning organisations. I draw especially on Bion's ideas on curiosity, emotional linking, thinking, and negative capability in unearthing the main elements of the work discussion seminar. I also examine the influence of systems thinking, the context of the Tavistock Clinic and its influence on work discussion, and the related, simultaneous development of Balint groups. I illustrate my article with a case example.
