Simulations as Process

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses several tools and resources for implementing process consultation projects. These tools and resources are measured in relation to their overall importance in the process implementation project. Further, these tools and resources are utilized to measure the relative merits of the implementation processes found in the course simulations.

From the Paper:

"The practice of process implementation is nothing more than the practice of implementing change. To effectively implement change the first tool in the process consultant's or change agent's arsenal of resources is to identify what Schein, Kahane, and Sharmer (2001b) identify as an organization's "common will" (p.9). This is essentially identifying what the particular corporate or organizational culture is and how receptive it may be to change and process implementation. If a corporate culture is resistant to change, and the corporate leadership has not instituted effective cultural reeducation measures, then the change agent or process consultant will need to institute these measures before the process implementation project can begin."
