Pyramid Model Dr. John Wedman Director of the School of Information Science & Learning Technologies University of Missouri - Columbia
Pyramid Model Based on the belief that, in order to accomplish something of significance, three factors: • Vision, • Resources, and • Support System – must be in place and aligned with each other. The Support System includes six major components and recognizes the influence of Organizational Culture on performance.
Pyramid as a model for assessing needs and improving performance.
Performance Pyramid continues to evolve • Five principles have passed the test of time
Five Principles • Each Support System element is important, must be in place, and plays out in the context of the organizational culture. • The arrangement of the Support System elements doesn't matter; but all must be accounted for. • The Support System must align with the Vision. • Resources are consumed by the Support System. • Accomplishments replenish Resources and influence the Vision.
