Definitions

1. in order to organize something one has to (1) establish what is the final product, (2) work backwards in sequence to establish the earlier products necessary to make each next product and which all in a row add up to the final product, (3) post it in terms of vertical greater and greater completeness of product to get command channels, (4) adjust it for flows, (5) assign its comm sequence, (6) work out the doing resulting in each product. Write these as functions and actions with all skills included. (7) name these as posts, (8) post it, (9) drill it to get it known, (10) assemble and issue the hats, (11) get these known, (12) get the functions done so that the products occur. This is what is called organizing. (HCO PL 28 Oct 70)

2. the know-how of changing things. (HCO PL 1 Nov 70)

3. when routing arrangements are made inside the org-from staff member to staff member-we call it organizing. (HCO PL 17 Nov 64)

4. to put order into something. Not organizing leads to confusion. This is true of groups and individuals. (BPL 21 Oct 71 III)

5. the right way to go about it is to have the tech of a job, plan it, get the materials, and then do it. This we call organizing. When this sequence is not followed, we have what we call cope. Too much cope will eventually break morale. One copes while he organizes. If he copes too long without organizing he will get a dwindling or no product. If he organizes only he will get no product. Coping while organizing will bit by bit get the line and action straighter and straighter and with less work you get more product. (OODs 15 May 71)
