Comm 455 Friday 2/2/07

Happy Groundhog Day! Since he didn't see his shadow, spring's coming early or will it in Rexburg?

Today we'll be reminded that any time you start a new team or venture (or any time you add new members to a team) you begin back with the following natural order of group progression:

1. Forming, 2. Storming, 3. Norming, 4. Performing, 5. Adjourning
(I'm checking the reference on this one.)

Organizations do not just develop around disciplines (function and practice) like the Eight Disciplines we're using. More recent thinking has led organizations to organize more around their core processes. The following core processes--in progression--were developed and copywrited by PracticeMBA, LLC and permission has been granted to post them on this blog:

The 7D Cycle™

1. Diagnose 2. Decide 3. Design 4. Develop 5. Dedicate 6. Deploy 7. Deliver ©2007 Practice MBA, LLC

Consider how the 7D Cycle™ should be at work in each of the disciplines for your clients as well as for our firm, "Clark & Young."
