O Punctuated equilibrium model
O Different from the stage model of group development
O Workers do not form, storm and norm about goal or task at hand as they share common scripts (experiences about the task at hand and their roles) therefore can immediately work as a group cohesively.
O Up to a point when the group realizes the time has passed they begin to storm and question the project and the intended outcomes future direction and when groups come together with different scripts they usually have to form storm and norm before they can work together collectively and cohesively
