Practical tools to improve organizations and workplaces were developed by utilizing an idea of social constructionism that insists social reality is constructed by discourses. Specifically, we developed (1) a tool to collect and analyze informal discourses, (2) a tool to summarize common senses in a highly appreciated workplace and to dispatch a message about them to top management and other workplaces, (3) a tool to integrate advantages of different members in a workplace to create a new activity, and (4) a tool for a manager to draw a vision of new activity, or a dream activity.
