Ivan, how have you been? It's been quite a while.

As for your comment, "No model, regardless of how great it is, will work
all by itself!"

I am quite in agreement. There are so many pieces which are necessary, yet
none are sufficient. I found Michael McGill's "American Business and the
Quick Fix" most informative. He profiled 4 decades of management fads, the
essence of which predicted just what is happening in the area of BPR and
what seems most certain to happen in the area of LO when it catches the
wind!

It would seem there is something besides the method which produces
successful results. When multiple organizations can employ the same
"formula" and produce everything from amazing success to abysmal failure,
and multiple organizations can employ very different "formulas" and
produce everything from amazing success to abysmal failure, it leads me to
suspect there is something else operating here of which the practitioners
and healers are not aware. Any ideas?
