I'm going to show this to my MBA class. I think you have formalised a model here. in a real;ly effective way.

@SteffanLlwyd  thanks for the kind comments, cheers, ken

[SteffanLlwyd]

@kenifer8 It went well with the class. They came back from their AI interviews kind of elated. Interesting.

@SteffanLlwyd that's great news! i hope they put it into action. AI/ASK is by far the most powerful change process i have ever witnessed

[SteffanLlwyd]

@kenifer8 I agree. The more usual approach of listing defects in an organisation and then correcting them (usually according to a banal 'five step process') fails in about 50% of cases. It is hardly better than random! Yet it is by far the dominant model. Why are we so stuck with models which don't work? Because they place all authority in managers and treat workers as tools or faults and deficiencies in themselves. Typically the fault lies in the model not in the workforce!
