Program/Curriculum Development

• Do you want to do it alone?

3
Of course, we need to involve everyone.

Reality 1

• People with doctoral degrees have a lot of
  ideas, and are capable of offering many
  directions, like a star fish.

5
Reality 2

• Committee members like to have debate to show
  who is the smartest. But, they are pretty
  flexible, very open-minded.
• They change their ideas every 2 weeks.

6
Result

• We are on the same page again, again, again, and
  again, .
• A committee is where we debate and argue
  fearlessly, and finally decide to take no action.

Any Suggestions?

• I am ready to shut up if you have any better
  ideas than mine.

My Suggestions

• Relax
• Use Paradigm to build consensus
