If that were all, I might write my fellow-members a letter. But neither do I go to learn other people’s ideas. If that were all, I might ask each to write me a letter. I go to a committee meeting in order that all together we may create a group idea, an idea which will be better than any of our ideas added together. For this group idea will not be produced by the process of addition, but by the interpenetration of us all. This subtle psychic process by which the resulting idea shapes itself is the process we want to study.” MPF</i></b></p>

As I was writing that paper and attempting to reconstruct an intellectual path from Follett to Schein, all of a sudden it occurred to me that I should just ask Schein. So I did. He said he was familiar with her work but would not count her as one of his main influences. However, as I examined this further I learned that many of Schein's influences were themselve influenced by Follett -- including Douglas MacGregor, one of Schein's mentors.<br />

Sounds like a great offer! By the way, Schein's culture audit methodology was to have been the core of my doctoral research into the deep culture of schools. If I ever get around to my doctoral research :-) - Matthew<br />

I place my vote for Boston. May I please encourage those who are actively looking for meeting space and lodging that the secure wheelchair accessible space. If we can connect with a Harvard group there is, I understand, conference and lodging space at Radcliffe.<br />
