The Process: From Problem to Priorities

François Dupuy

Chapter 8 in Sharing Knowledge, 2004, pp 153-166 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Knowing whether it is necessary to fix priorities, or instead to decide on what is most appropriate to try in order to cover the overall problems identified, is currently being debated among the specialists on change. We have already noted that Schein considers that, from the moment of collecting information, one has already started on the process itself and that therefore there is no such thing as phases, except at a very superficial level, in which the action plan takes the place of real action. Similarly, there are many who criticize the idea of a succession of sites, in the name of the required simultaneity of action, which must help to prevent the creation, between different parts of the organization, of variances which would later be relatively difficult bring back together.1 No doubt they are right, if only because of the systemic dimension of organizations.
