The 7S Model and Shared Vision - @edkless
How? vs. What matters!
How do you do it? What refusal have I been postponing?
How long will it take? What is the commitment I am willing to make?
How much does it cost? What is the price I am willing to pay?
How do you get those people to change?
What is my contribution to the problem?
How do you measure it? What is the judgment I need to make?
How have other people done it successfully?
What do we want to create together?
The 7S Model and Shared Vision - @edkless
The question is:
What do we want to create?
NOT
How do we do it?
or
How have other people done it successfully?
