PART 4
  .1How much of a part can values truly play in the success of a company like One Smooth Stone?

ANSWER 1
    The organization not only produces the events, but helps in the entire planning and execution process as well to ensure their clients can get a return on their investment.  They start by listening to what the client wants or needs and then assist in writing the strategy for delivering the message or event.  These events can take place literally anywhere and companies such as Motorola, Nortel, International Truck and Engine, and Kos Pharmaceuticals utilize their services.  The productions provide not only an educational component for the audience, but are entertaining as well.

2. . What characteristics of One Smooth Stone make it necessary to have a flat and decentralized structure as opposed to a rigid, command and control hierarchical structure?
  ANSWER 2
       One Smooth Stone devised the concept of “strategic improvising” to counter the effects of rapidly changing strategic initiatives.  Strategic improvising involves devising “ground rules” and creating a “template” for the future without constraining themselves to rigid strategic plans that quickly become obsolete.  This type of strategizing allows the company to be successful in a very dynamic industry.  At the end of the day though, One Smooth Stone believes it is their values that makes them successful.  The company embraces the values of being smart, fast and kind and believes that if they deliver their services to their clients based on those three values, the clients will keep coming back.

PART 5

1.    . What model of decision making did the Sisters of Holy Angels have to rely on to guide them through thee hurricane tragedy?
 ANSWER 1
      .  This tremendously hindered the Sisters’ ability to perform the services they normally would.  Fitzpatrick says that there is generally two choices in situations such as these – just jump in and fix it, or give up on it and be happy with what you have.  Many will choose one of these as an easy solution, but Fitzpatrick says that you must not move too quickly.  Through tenacity and tremendous effort, they were able to find housing for over 50 Sisters who were no longer able to reside in New Orleans, and they now have their preschool back up and running.  She explains that she is not an “aggressive person” by nature, but was able to muster the courage necessary to decide to speak up on behalf of her ailing Sisters, threatening to contact their attorneys if the driver would not take them to safety.  The driver led them on and the Sisters avoided the tragedy and suffering that took place. And to help our people who need food and house because of hurricane Katrina was destroy our house and business of people and sisters we decide to help.
2.    What part do you think intuition and creativity played in each of the Sisters’ stories?  Explain how.

ANSWER 2
I think Mary Kay Kinberger because they help to people to evacuate all the family our affect of hurricane Katrina and he asks the military soldiers to pray to all people to save our life because of hurricane Katrina. I think  we need to help each other to be survive the tragedy of hurricane Katrina we are forced to make decisions under critical conditions and these four women exemplify leadership in decision making under extreme conditions of duress. And I think it is the best solution to survive of tragedy.
