SLP Assignment Expectations (Content)
There are 4 steps to
this SLP:
Step 1: Go back and take a look at the article
from the background readings:
.triz-journal.com/archives/1998/10/a/”>http://www.triz-journal.com/archives/1998/10/a/
You don’t have to read
the whole article!! Please read from the heading The Organizational Engineering
(OE) Paradigm and STOP when you get to The TRIZ / OE “Bi-System.”
Step 2: Take your best guess as to your top two
“Strategic Processing Styles.” Which seems to be your
“primary” or No. 1 style, and which is your No. 2 style? You know
yourself best, so this should be a highly educated guess! . Read
the descriptions of the four styles, and think about it. Which two styles
describe you best? Are you more of a:

RS = Reactive
Stimulator,

LP = Logical
Processor,

HA = Hypothetical
Analyzer, or

RI = Relational
Innovator?
Step 3: Take a look at Figure 3, and see how
your top two styles combine to give you a “Strategic Pattern.” See
whether the combination of your top two styles makes you a:

Conservator

Perfector

Changer, or

Performer
Step 4: Please write a 2- to 3-page essay in
which you answer this question:
How do you think your
top two “Strategic Processing Styles” and your “Strategic
Pattern” affect your communications and decision making at work?
