More on trojan mouse : My last employer (1998-2005) was a victim fo such mice.... mice I introduced eagerly over the span of several years but more intensely between 2003 and 2005. The concept of pursuing the insertion of the mice in a purposeful fashion does work. I started having voluntary bi-weekly training sessions for supervisors and managers ( around 100) in preparation for an important government inspection. These "meetings" would be based generally on a short management (Like Blanchard's One-minute manager) or compliance (Documentation practices in a sterile environment) training video. Unbeknown to all was the underlying goal I was pursuing , namely general education on compliance and management, which at the time I felt had to be connected. This is a long time before I started reading Minztberg, Senge, Jarche, Pfleaging et al!! I constantly adapted the content and the format to make these participants learn, discuss and share insights. Although the group changed from one meeting to the other, the fact that these managers were able to connect and share was the real benefit. The process became the goal! I was convinced that the free and very random interactions would create the desired impetus necessary for us to succeed. These "meetings" were easily organized, required little content (video) and were based on my faith that the mere fact that these very competent people were in the room together was enough to make "something" to happen. The experts came to acquire more knowledge.... but they shared theirs. The connectors came simple to talk and meet some other people but they ended up learning more than expected. The catalysts came out with a slew of great ideas and a few names to get these ideas executed. Interactions. Random and numerous. And it worked!
