Replying to LO8113 --

Christian Giroux and Jim Dawson described their efforts to
clarify/document their organizations' core values and principles.

Christian:

I was intrigued by your description and that of Jim Dawson describing how
you went about surfacing your organization's core values and principles.
Both of you described WHAT you were doing and HOW you were doing it. What
baffles me is WHY would you start such an enterprise? Maybe you mentioned
this earlier in the thread. What was it that led your organizations to the
conclusion that this exercise had to be entered into? Were the
organizations going through some sort of crisis that required a
fundamental re-thinking of how to do business/serve the customer/treat
people, etc.I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
