I've often said that the "problem" with having learned from people like Harless, Brethower, and Rummler is that you're ruined for life. You can't go back to things as they were.

I too have found it helpful. Also, I too had the opportunity to work with Joe Harless and Dale Brethower. My advisor in my graduate studies at Western Michigan University was Bob Brinkerhoff, who was an important early mentor. And I went thru a Rummler-Brache "Introduction to Process Management" workshop in the early '90s. Currently I'm trying to help my boss steer a business process documentation project in the right direction, so I'm referring back to the workshop materials and found your blog during a web search.

I'm going to follow this up in greater detail -- for example, I think I'll try working up a chart of my own as an exercise in the horizontal (cross-silo) thinking that Rummler and Brache advocate.

It sure pays to hear about a book from someone who has been working with the underlying concepts and can evaluate it from a solid standpoint. I've recently been working with orgcharts a lot in the course of organizational effectiveness analyses - I think I'll get myself that book and try to build some bridges from the solid and dotted lines towards the "white space".

I first came across names like Rummler, Gilbert, Brethower, and Harless in 1977. Eventually I had the chance to learn from each of them personally. Two are gone now, and one's retired, but the clear vision (and good sense) is a gift they still offer. My pleasure, Harold.
