+\newthought{The} Beckhard-Harris-Gleicher model of change%
+\sidenote{R. Beckhard and R. Harris, {\it Organizational Transitions},
+  Addison-Wesley, 1987.}
+states successful change will happen if and only if the product of the
+level of dissatisfaction with status quo, the appeal of the future
+vision, and the clarity of the steps necessary to achieve the vision is
+greater than the cost of change, measured in terms of emotion, direct
+expenses, and lost opportunity.
+\begin{displaymath}
+  \text{change}
+  \,\,\iff\,\,
+  \text{dissatisfaction}\times\text{appeal}\times\text{plan}
+  \,>\,
+  \text{cost}
+\end{displaymath}
+If any factor is low, the chance for successful change is slim, no matter
+how compelling the other factors might appear.
+Similarly, if the cost is high, change is not worth pursuing.

+  Books, 1991.\\ 
+  Gerald M. Weinberg, {\it Quality Software Management: Anticipating
+  Change}, Volume 4, Dorset House, 1997.}
+emphasizes all change entails phases of loss and chaos that, if
+unanticipated, will cause a retreat to the original status quo.
+A change agent initiates the descent into chaos and then a transforming
+idea marks the beginning of the ascent to the new status quo.\\[5pt]

+  Gregory Bateson, D. D. Jackson, J. Haley, and J. H. Weakland, ``A Note on
+  the Double Bind'', {\it Family Process}, volume 2, 1962, pages~154--161.}
+is a recipe for schizophrenia that should be avoided in organizational
+structures:
+\begin{compactenum}
+ \item Locate a victim who is somehow dependent on you.
+ \item Issue a primary injunction with a threat of punishment for
+       non-compliance.
+ \item Issue a secondary injunction that contradicts the first, again
+       coupled with the threat of punishment for non-compliance.
+ \item Make the contradiction undiscussible and provide a threat of
+       punishment if it is discussed.
+ \item Make%
+\marginnote{Example: a researcher is dependent upon a mandated support
+  service and the support staff imposes a level of service that is
+  insufficient.}
+       the undiscussibility undiscussible, but make appearances
+       that everything is discussible.
+ \item Make the victim believe they cannot exit the situation.
+\end{compactenum}

+\newthought{Block} observes that vision statements are worth something
+only to those who make them.% 
+\sidenote{Peter Block, {\it Stewardship: Choosing Service Over
+  Self-Interest}, Berrett-Koehler, 1993.}
+A vision cannot be handed down from upon high.
+Instead, each person or team needs to craft their own vision statement
+to have vested ownership and accountability.
+One clear requirement, however, is that at each level the vision must be
+tied to the one above.
+
+What%
+\marginnote{``Simple, clear purpose and principles give rise to complex,
+  intelligent behavior,'' says Dee Hock, former CEO of Visa
+  International.
+  ``Complex rules and regulations give rise to simple, stupid behavior.''}
+the core workers do need from those above is a clearly defined,
+tangible mission statement that can be used by those at the lowest levels
+to make everyday decisions.
+NASA's current vision, mission, and goals slides have recently been
+cited%

+  ed., Graphics Press, 2003, page~4.}

+\newthought{Stop} using PowerPoint bullet list slides for strategic
+planning, technical communication, or anything but a marketing pitch.
+Lou Gerstner simply shut off the overhead projector when he
+began to bring IBM back from the brink of bankruptcy in 1992.
+He introduced the novel idea of using complete sentences to describe
+how goals would be met.%
+\sidenote{Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., {\it Who Says Elephants Can't Dance?
+    Inside IBM's Historic Turnaround}, 2002, page~43.}
+Furthermore, 3M has documented%
+\sidenote{Gordon Shaw, Robert Brown, and Philip Bromiley, ``Strategic
+  Stories: How 3M is Rewriting Business Planning,'' {\it Harvard
+  Business Review}, vol.~76, May-June, 1998, pages~42--44.}
+that bullet lists make us intellectually
+lazy in three specific ways: (1)~they are too generic---they offer a
+series of things to do that could apply to any business, (2)~they leave
+critical relationships unspecified, and (3)~they leave critical
+assumptions about how the business works unstated.
+Our project planning needs to (a)~embrace change, not try
+to suppress it and (b)~use PERT charts with uncertainties
+instead of CPM diagrams.%
+\sidenote{Robert Martin, ``PERT: Precursor to Agility'' in {\it Software
+    Development}, February 2003.}
+Budgets are forecast tools, not specifications.
+Costs should only be tracked to the same level of precision as benefits
+are tracked, because the cost-to-benefit ratio has an approximate
+uncertainty equal to the maximum of the cost and benefit uncertainties.%
