Subject: Re: Xoops Management by damaster on 2005/5/21 1:38:27 ORPHEUS CHAMBER ORCHESTRA TO HOLD PM TEACHING CASE Orpheus, the only chamber orchestra in the world that consistently rehearses, performs, and records without a conductor, has garnered attention from the corporate sector for its unique approaches to creativity, innovation, and self-management. For example, Orpheus had showcased its innovative approach to leadership for a group of Haas MBA students at the International House auditorium. Morgan Stanley has sponsored the event at Haas. The firm also sponsored an Orpheus residency at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. Central to the distinctive personality of Orpheus is its unusual process of sharing and rotating leadership roles. The "Orpheus Process" is built on individual responsibility, shared leadership, and workplace democracy. The process has enabled the orchestra to unleash the talent, vision, creativity, and leadership potential of each member of the group. For every work, an elected committee of musicians selects a concertmaster and each instrumental section chooses a representative. These chosen representatives (the "core group") are responsible for forming the initial concept of the piece and developing an overall interpretive approach to the music before the entire orchestra comes together to rehearse. The core also structures the rehearsal process for the entire orchestra, which provides clear leadership while insuring that every member has a real stake in the artistic outcome of every piece performed by the orchestra. The results of the process have produced 28 years of sustained excellence at the highest level of international accomplishment. The main focus of the residency at Haas it was to demonstrate the Orpheus Process in action, as the orchestra rehearses the first movement of Haydn's Symphony No. 63 in C Major in "real time," showing by example their work process from core preparations to final product. The applications of the Orpheus Process to the business world or the communities of open source projects, can be framed in the introduction of a Xoops Management thread and reinforced through a question-and-answer and a discussion period with the xoopsers and auto-proclaimed “Leaders”. . . . |
