Marvin Weisbord's six-box model website and begin your discussion by answering the questions below and then responding to your colleagues' posts.

The six-box model is a framework developed by the American analyst Marvin Weisbord to assess the functioning of organizations. It is a generic framework and is intended for use across a wide variety of organizations.

After completing your readings on the Weisbord six-box model, briefly analyze Brookdale Senior Living  using Weisbord's six-box model.

How does the organization:

1. Define what 'businesses' it is in? (Purpose)
2. Divide or get the work done? (Structure)
3. Coordinate its people and manage conflict among people and the technological infrastructure? (Relationships)
4. Incentivize its people? (Rewards)
5. Balance the work to be sure it is getting done? (Leadership)
6. Use coordinating technologies? (Support)

If you had an opportunity to facilitate change in the organization, how would you apply what you learned from the six-box exercise to effect change in your organization?

Give some specific examples and reflect on how they address some/all of the findings of the six-box model.
