To all Legionaries, consecrated and Regnum Christi members in
theAtlanta and New York Territories:
On March 1 3, we convened a meeting of 33
Legionaries,consecrated and lay staff at Our Lady of Thornwood to
participate in anin-depth diagnosis of our way of working in the
Atlanta and New YorkTerritories. The goal of this program was to
identify all the major areaswithin the two territories where we
could make important improvementsto performance and mission and to
develop an action plan to deal withthe potential improvement points
identified. The workshop wasfacilitated by theAdizes Institute, an
International firm specializing inorganizational change through
participative teamwork.
Unfortunately, only a limited number of us could participate in
these sessions. We wish we all could have, but it wasnot possible.
However, in listening to the closing comments by the participants,
both of us had a sense that we havethe capability to make great
improvements. And virtually everyone in the group expressed a sense
of peace,gratitude and hope.
We identified a more than 400 Potential Improvement Points
(PIPs) in all areas of the organization including dealing
with formation, ongoing spiritual development, finances and
decision-making.
In addition to identifying these points, we also analyzed how
all of these impacted one another and we jointlydeveloped an action
plan for solving the priority problems. The action plan calls for
problems to be solved both byindividuals and by teams.
We are now in the process of developing/deploying a program to
systematically improve our work, avoid foreseeableproblems, and
improve our ability to solve problems. The program will be led by a
new cross-functional ParticipativeOrganizational Council. The
members of this council will vary over time, with the initial
members being the following:
