Currently, preparing a
book with the working title,
Paradigms of Progress, which claims that
four distinct and rational paradigms govern the life cycle of
progress at all levels of corporations from businesses,
to projects and committees, down to individuals. These paradigms
are models which resolve zero, first, and second order uncertainty,
and the search for an overarching, unifying strategy. They have
been called (by Tushman in 1967), "Forming, Storming, Norming and
Performing." To go from one paradigm to the next requires the same
cycle, (within a cycle), specifically, the next paradigm must be
formed (articulated), stormed (competition of ideas), normed
(convergence on one set of ideas), and performed (in that sense
the paradigms are fractal).
