Pre-reading Work:
Kindly read the article on Robert McNamara.  It is a fascinating read on the
impact this man had on today’s typical management philosophies, practices,
pros and cons.  We would be doing a VDM work on this article.  The intent is to
see how VDMs are used at mega-level change practices, such as creating a
Learning Organization.
Bring an article to the
workshop:
There would be a show-and-tell at the beginning of the workshop.  Find an
article in the newspaper
(you can take any in the past few weeks, etc.) that
to you illustrates an archetype at play.  Cut and bring a copy to the workshop.  
For group discussion.
Post-course Work:
Draw a VDM mapping the Robert McNamara case with the chapters under the
section 'Prototypes' in 'The Fifth Discipline'.  Consider what action plans you
would need for your organization for the five levels of perspectives?
Look out for
the
follow-up note after the workshop.

POTLUCK
To minimize the costs of running the session, while at the same time finding ways
to involve the participants in making the workshop possible, we invite
participants to prepare potluck refreshments.

Food to consider: Preferably those that can be kept well at room temperature
(e.g. cakes, light pastries)
Amounts: Small numbers will do, usually there is more than enough variety to go
around.
Plates, cutlery, serviettes and drinks would be provided at our end.
