« On many occasions, our project team members thought we had the
same project in mind when starting out and would soon realize that we
weren’t always talking about the same thing. Thanks to SherpaTOTM,
we brainstormed together to develop a common vision, method and
vocabulary right from the start. This ended up being a great team-builder
exercise. We also use the system for various initiatives and for all kinds of
organizational development activities—it’s a real gold mine. »

the project, its legitimacy, the proper conditions for success, and
the desired results at the highest level.

and the related concerns for each stakeholder.
Participate in the change by involving the stakeholders based
on the context of the project.
Transfer

strategy, potential obstacles to training, stakeholder concerns, and
the proper conditions for a successful transition.
Evolve by identifying the conditions that ensure the sustainability
of the change.
