Thomas, There is a great example of this in Tales from Open Space. Hugh Huntington used a series of OSs to downsize a division of Honeywell. They went form 2,400 to 1,600 people. I have an old phone number for Hugh in Taos, New Mexico: 505-776-8347. Perhaps Harrison or someone else on this list has an e-mail address for him.
