Greiner's 5 stages of growth in an organization is the lead off slide in this set of 31 slides to accompany a talk. The printouts or hard copy of the slides are in the folder, and the computer version which seems to have been in Ventura, is probably lost. Also in the folder is Warfield's typewritten version of the same group of slides. He told me that this set of pages was from a talk which he had prepared for the Great University Project at George Mason University. R.w., circa 1999. =================== Rose Warfield's update Note written in 2012: George Mason University has the hard copy of this material now and I can't figure out exactly which talk it was - either for Great University Seminar Series 1989-1990, or possibly for the 26 October 1995 talk for a faculty seminar. Warfield admired Greiner's work and probably used the slides several times, in one way or another.

See also, Box 75 which according to the GMU finding aid has "Greiner's Organization Practices, transparencies, undated."
