Dick Axelrod's Conference Model Redesign


This method uses a series of four fast, participatory 3-day conferences - vision, customer, technology, and design - held a month apart, resulting in an organizational design, followed by implementation steps. The planning approach uses a steering committee, a data assist team, and staging in advance of the meeting. For quick summary see http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~rouda/background.html
