1. INTRODUCTION
• OEI is obligatory & externally imposed
• Obligatory - i.e. don’t want to do it
• Externally imposed - i.e. other’s expect it
• People would rather not be bothered
• There are other things that are more important in the short term
• There is a mood that obstructs change

Discursive action (conversation) occurs when people interact. The components are:
• Positions brought to conversation
• Story lines engaged in
• Speech acts employed
The outcome of
discursive action is
positioning of those
involved in the
discursive action and
a changed mood.

3. Barriers to changing mood
Foucault (1983, p 187) says, “people know what they do; they frequently know why they do; but what they don’t know is what they do does.”
Peters (1999, p. xi-xii) says, “we get caught up in filling targets, achieving objectives, and meeting deadlines and forget to examine the wider consequences of what we are doing.”
Crosby (1979, p. 13) says, “the problem of quality is not what people don’t know about it; the problem with quality is what they think they know about it.”
Wilson (1991, p. 127) says, “intellectual laziness and common sense are the same thing. Common sense is just the trade name of the firm.”

More commonly known as culture.
My measure of culture is mood or happening.
