5 guidelines for play in organizations

Tuesday, April 11, 2006


1. treat goals as hypotheses
2. treat intuition as real
3. treat hypocrisy as transition
4. treat memory as an enemy
5. treat experience as a theory
(a guy named March wrote this back in 1976)

Bolman and Deal add: "Play permits relaxing the rules to explore
alternatives. It encourages experimentation, flexibility, and adaptiveness."
