Workbook for Implementing the Tracks: Volume III... and Overhead Slides for Implementing the Tracks: Volume III (Newport Coast, CA: Organizational Design Consultants, 1991-2007)
by Ralph H. Kilmann
Overview
The Workbook for Implementing the Tracks: Volumes I, II, III has recently been updated to reflect Ralph Kilmann's Eight-Track Program that is formally presented in his book, Quantum Organizations. The three-volume Workbooks provide all the essential materials (cases, exercises, instruments, surveys, overhead slides, ethical guidelines, and logistical procedures) so that all organizational members can actively—and effectively—participate in quantum transformation. All the materials are completely integrated and professionally designed into one-day-per-month workshop sessions: the most practical—and beautiful—combination of workshop materials ever developed for organizational transformation. Moreover, The Workbooks are not a pick-and-choose collection of previously available items, but are a completely integrated program of original materials. Taking more than twenty years to develop, The Workbooks have been utilized for achieving organizational success and personal meaning throughout the world. And Kilmann's Logistic Manual for Implementing the Tracks provides a Logistics Coordinator and a Logistics Team with the behind-the-scenes guidelines for implementing the tracks—smoothly and successfully.
The design of the Workbooks enables organizations to distribute the relevant materials to every participant—as the Eight-Track program progresses. Part One (Understanding the Program) is usually distributed before any of the workshop sessions begin—as a total package of background material for every participant. Part Two (The First Three Tracks) can be distributed to participants one chapter at a time—at the start of each workshop session. Part Three (The Next Two Tracks) can be distributed to all participants when two special task forces—representing all areas and levels in the organization—are established to address the strategy-structure and reward system barriers to success. Part Four (Evaluating the Program) can be distributed when the organization is ready to examine what impact the completely integrated program has had on key aspects of organizational success. Lastly, Part Five (The Three Process Tracks) can be distributed as the formal systems are being designed—when the organization is ready for process management (including total quality management, business process reengineering, and organizational learning).
The Workbook Volume III—450 pages in total—provides two workshop sessions in the gradual process track and one combined workshop session in the radical process track and the learning process track. These three process tracks constitute the newest aspects of the Eight-Track Program, building upon the original five system tracks (informal and formal systems in the organization). As such, Volume III makes use of all the prior materials and discussions in Volume I and Volume II.

These 8.5 x 11 inch slides are numbered to correspond to the exact page in the Workbook where these slides are presented and discussed. Note: On that corresponding page in the Workbook, each overhead slide is reproduced in a smaller format, which leaves room for printed notes and extra space for adding additional comments. All slides are in a pdf file (Acrobat), which can be used as a formal slide presentation—via a laptop computer, screen, and projector.
