Some Thoughts About Change
Things do not change we change. Henry David
Thoreau We must be the change we wish to see in
the world. Gandhi There is a better way for
everything. Find it!. Thomas Edison Everyone
thinks of changing the world, but no-one thinks
of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy We do not
succeed in changing things according to our
desire, but gradually our desire changes.
Proust And if not nowwhen? Talmud Treat
people as if they were what they ought to be and
you help them to become what they are capable of
being. Goethe

The Imperative of Change
  • Expect nothing be prepared for anything
    Samurai saying
  • At this time there are six major external changes
    which influence organisations
  • A bigger global market-place made smaller by
    technology and competition from abroad.
  • 2. A worldwide recognition of the environment
    as an influencing variable.
  • Health consciousness as a permanent trend amongst
    all age groups throughout the developed
    world.
  • 4. The demographic slump in the developed
    world means there are fewer young people to go
    round.
  • 5. The changing workplace and skills shortages
    create a need for non-traditional employees.
  • 6. Women in work and management is an ever
    increasing trend.

5
The Major Causes of Change
  • Think of changes that have occurred in your
    working life.
  • How often were the following causes of change
    involved in some way?
  • Changes in the level of technology used?
  • Changes in customer expectations or tastes?
  • Changes as a result of competitors activities?
  • Changes as a result of Government legislation?
  • Changes as a result of alterations in the
    economy?
  • The Result You will change.
  • There is no alternative.
  • The organisation and employees can either be
    reactive or pro-active. Those that survive will
    be world class.
  • The quality of people and their management is
    going to make a bigger difference than the
    quality of products or the quality of services
    Rosabeth Moss Kanter

Economic Factors and Restructuring e.g. re-united
Germany 1990s

skills
Competition e.g. increase in tendering organic
and acquisitive
Labour Policy Industrial Relations
Economic Forecasting

Environmental Sensing R D Policy
Environmental Sensing R D Policy
Purchasing Policy
Supplies e.g. raw materials scarcity, supply and
demand
Ecology e.g. environmental laws and protection
Technology e.g. reduces product life cycle,
investment costs increase
Socio-Cultural e.g. quality of life, health,
mobility

The Major Obstacles to Change
  • I do not know the key to success, but the key to
    failure is trying to please everybody Bill
    Cosby
  • People being too close to see what the problem
    is.
  • Those who are part of the problem.
  • Being unwilling to confront issues when status
    and remuneration are involved.
  • Those who are part of the power system being
    examined.
  • Those who are afraid to challenge the needs and
    demands of superiors.
  • Those who quite simply do not like change or
    having to think about something.
  • Habit is either the best of servants or the
    worst of masters. Nathaniel Emmons

8
The Sheffield/South Yorkshire ScenarioThe Past
  • Sheffield was the industrial and commercial
    powerhouse of its region.
  • Heavy dependence on, and dominance by, Steel,
    Heavy Engineering and Mining.
  • High proportion of small/medium/large
    family-owned companies operating a paternalistic
    management style. Exclusive reliance upon
    authority which only encouraged counter measures,
    minimal performance, even open rebellion.
  • Lack of innovation and acceptance of new ideas
    and/or technology whilst the competition embraced
    them.
  • Heavily Unionised with specific and rigid job
    demarcation, workforce with narrow skills base.
  • City/Town Councils and Government constantly at
    odds with one another.
  • Public and Private Sector saw no need to
    co-operate.
  • Highly reactive to external and internal issues
    and forces.

Result Uncompetitive, outdated, lack of
investment and left in the political and business
wilderness. We needed to move to be World Class.

Mines and steel mills closed - Rationalisation
through technology improvements, changes in
demand and competition.Thriving Medical, IT,
Service Cultural and Sports related sectors.Over
70 of businesses are micros (1-10) or SMEs
(10-199). Almost all of our large producers are
owned by foreign companies.New entrepreneurial
spirit has led to innovation, technologies and
ideas to allow companies to compete.Job
demarcation is giving way to transferability of
skills, skills base being increased, flexible
manufacturing systems being designed and
adopted.Change of Government with a very
different agenda. Sheffield City Council
Executive working closely with business sector
and beginning to revolutionise its own work
practices.Public and Private Sector have come
together in Sheffield First Partnership, South
Yorkshire Forum to achieve Objective 1
status.Much more proactive approach across the
region to secure inward investment,
re-development, reduce social exclusion and
promote change.
The Sheffield/South Yorkshire ScenarioThe Present
Result We are still behind the pace setters but
we have a better chance of catching up.
11
Where did we go wrong?
We had highly mechanistic organisations
characterised by
  • Task differentiation and specialisation.
  • Hierarchy for co-ordination of tasks, control
    and communications.
  • Control of all communications from the top,
    information provided on a need-to-know basis.
  • Interaction and emphasis placed on vertical
    reporting lines.
  • Loyalty to the organisation and its officers.
  • Value placed on internal knowledge and
    experience.

We needed to have organic organisations
characterised by
  • Continuous assessment of task allocation
    through interaction to utilise knowledge which
  • solves real problems.
  • The use of expertise power relationships and
    commitment to total task. Sharing of
  • responsibility.
  • Open and widely used communication patterns
    which incorporate horizontal and diagonal as
  • well as vertical channels.
  • Commitment to task accomplishment, development
    and growth of the organisation rather than
  • loyalty to officials.
  • Value placed on general and transferable
    skills which are relevant to the organisation.

12
What makes a Change Environment
  • There must be agreed requirements
    (Internal/External) - all employees develop
    willingness to provide service - establish needs.
  • 2. Customer requirements must be met first
    time, every time.
  • 3. Quality improvements to reduce waste and
    total costs - everyone uses their time
    effectively and more meaningfully.
  • 4. A focus on the prevention of problems,
    reduce fire-fighting manner - Preventative
    rather than reactive.
  • 5. Improvement can only result from initial
    management action, but everyone must be
    encouraged to participate in shaping the process.
  • 6. Every job must add value - Overall
    enhancement of quality of work and personal
    quality of life.
  • 7. Everybody must be involved from all
    levels and across all functions.
  • 8. A culture of continuous improvement must
    be established.
  • 9. An emphasis on measurement to assess and
    meet improvements in processes.
  • An emphasis must be placed on promoting
    creativity - the most valuable organisational
    resource is the human element NOT technology.
    Attitude is the key.
  • An understanding that there is NO finishing line.

A FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGING STRATEGIC CHANGE
Effective change management is a continuous
process of confrontation, identification,
evaluation and action James McCalman Robert
Paton
As designed by Kindercare Inc, USA
14
The Seven Dynamics of Change (i) 1      People
will feel awkward, ill at ease and self conscious
2      People will think about what they have to
give up 3      People will feel alone, even if
everyone else is going through the
change 4      People can handle only so much
change 5      People are at different levels of
readiness for change 6     People will be
concerned that they dont have enough resources
(time, money, skills etc) 7      If you
take the pressure off, people will then revert
back to old behaviour  
15
The Seven Dynamics of Change (ii)
Strategies for dealing with each dynamic in a
work related situation 1                People
will feel awkward, ill at ease and self conscious
Acknowledge it  2               People will
think about what they have to give up Dont just
sell people the benefits. Legitimise the losses
and time for people to mourn the loss
 3               People will feel alone, even if
everyone else is going through the
change Structure activities which create
involvement. Encourage the sharing of ideas and
working together. Instil the idea of joint
working and support  4               People can
handle only so much change Set priorities and
keep an eye on the outcome 5               
People are at different levels of readiness for
change Dont label or pick on people.
Recognise that some people are risk takers and
others take longer to feel secure 6              
  People will be concerned that they dont have
enough resources (time, money, skills
etc) Encourage and support creative problem
solving  7               If you take the
pressure off, people will then revert back to old
behaviour Keep a focus on maintaining the change
and manage the journey as well as the outcome.

STYLES OF MANAGING CHANGE Implementation
17
Organisational Resistance to Change   It is
widely assumed that resistance to change is a
common and natural phenomenon A
Huczynski            The strategic direction of
an organisation builds up a MOMENTUM of its
own which may be reinforced by ongoing
success               The CULTURE of the
organisation is likely to support this momentum
of strategy. These two factors
when linked may result in ORGANISATIONAL
INERTIA when it comes to change
            Faced with change there may be
POLITICAL resistance within and around the
organisation  
18
  • Machiavelli on Change and the Political Process
  • There is nothing more difficult than to take the
    lead in the introduction of a new order of
    things. Because the innovator has for enemies
    all those who have done well under the old
    conditions, and only lukewarm support is
    forthcoming from those who would prosper under
    the new. Their support is lukewarm partly from
    fear of their adversaries, who have the existing
    laws on their side, and partly because men are
    generally incredulous, never really trusting new
    things unless they have tested them by
    experience.
  • In consequence, whenever those who oppose the
    changes can do so, they attack vigorously, and
    the defense made by the others is only lukewarm.
    So both the innovator and his friends could come
    to grief
  • Source The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
  • Machiavellis 3 Principles
  • Establish whether you are in the position, in
    case of need, to maintain
  • yourself alone, or whether you need the
    protection of others
  • Esteem your nobles (managers), but do not
    make yourself hated by the
  • populace (general staff)
  • Follow the example of Ferdinand, King of
    Aragon and Spain, who
  • continually contrived great things which
    have kept his subjects minds
  • uncertain and astonished, and occupied in
    watching their result

What are you worth?Whatever your age, your
upbringing, or your education, what you are made
of is mostly unused potential George Leonard
In simple terms ...
  • Enough fat to make 7 bars of soap
  • Enough iron to make one medium size nail
  • Enough sugar to sweeten 7 cups of tea
  • Enough lime to whitewash a chicken coop
  • Enough phosphorous to make 2,200 match tips
  • Enough magnesium to make a dose of salts
  • Enough potash to explode a toy car
  • Enough sulphur to clear a dog of fleas

What are you really worth to the
organisation? As an innovative
team playing reliable
flexible disciplined
results orientated person ... You are worth
your weight in gold!!
22
Some Thoughts About Attitude
Your work is to discover your work, and then
with all your heart, to give yourself to it.
Buddha One of the most important factors, not
only in military matters but in life as a whole,
is the ability to direct ones whole energies
towards the fulfillment of a particular task.
Field Marshall E Rommel Once you say you are
going to settle for second, thats what happens
to you. John F Kennedy Its your attitude, not
your aptitude, which determines your altitude in
life. Anonymous Im a great believer in luck,
and I find the harder I work, the more I have of
it. Thomas Jefferson The pessimist sees
difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist
sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Winston Churchill

  • 13 Fatal Errors Managers make
  • If at first you dont succeed, try, try and try
    again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool
    about it
  • W. C. Fields
  • Refuse to accept personal change
  • Fail to develop people
  • Try to control results instead of influencing
    thinking
  • Join the wrong crowd
  • Manage everyone the same way
  • Forget the importance of profit
  • Concentrate on problems rather than objectives
  • Be a buddy, not a boss
  • Fail to set standards
  • Fail to train your people
  • Condone incompetence
  • Recognise only top performers
  • Try to manipulate people

What Does Change Provide
It provides an organisation with an opportunity
to be a world class player through an environment
of ... Excellence Persistence
Belief Attitude Imagination
Courage Teamwork Desire Goals It
does not provide an organisation with a promise
or a certainty of becoming a world class
player. SOME FURTHER THOUGHTS A mind that is
stretched to a new idea never returns to its
original dimension Oliver Wendell Homes There
are precious few Einsteins among us. Most
brilliance arises from ordinary people working
together in extraordinary ways. Roger Von
Oech Dont find fault, find a remedy. Henry
Ford We will either find a way, or make one.
Hannibal He who stops being better stops being
good. Oliver Cromwell In every passionate
pursuit, the pursuit counts more than the object
being pursued. Bruce Lee

  • Successful Change Management
  • A Perspective
  • Jumping to conclusions, is the only exercise
    some people get Anonymous
  • It is not about job cuts
  • It is about eliminating the work..eliminating
    the job
  • It is not more for less..but more often more for
    the same
  • It is about doing the job faster
  • It is a journey..not a leap
  • It is largely incrementalnot a leap
  • It is easy to say..but hard to do
  • It is as much to do with culture..as process
  • It results in everything being at the elbow
  • It will lead to
  • Motivated and aligned employees
  • Accountability to deliver
  • Closing the skills gap
  • but todays solutions are tomorrows problems

Its Not My Job
This is a story about four people, named
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There
was an important job to be done and Everybody was
sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could
have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got
angry about that, because it was Everybodys
job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but
Nobody realised that Everybody wouldnt do it. It
ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when
Nobody did what Anybody could have. The success
of a team depends upon how well the members play
together and this means being willing to lose
ones identity for the sake of the team Unknown
41
Conclusions    -    Those organisations that
manage change effectively are more like open
learning systems  -               Sensitivity
to the external environment is part of the
organisations culture  -               It is
dangerous to think of change management as a
prescribed set of activities. It differs by
organisation and by market  -               Strat
egic change is inextricably linked with
operational change  -              It is
imperative that change is continued and
incremental and becomes a way of life e.g.
Kaizen  -              Human resource
management must be an integral component of the
change process  
42
Above all Consistency, Direction, Strategy,
Feasibility, Clarify With one aim Competitive
Advantage Our deepest fear is not that we are
inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are
powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not
our darkness, that most frightens us. As we let
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear. Our presence
automatically liberates others Nelson Mandella
43
Final Thoughts     In the traditional
bureaucratic corporation, roles were so
circumscribed that most relationships tended to
be rather formal and impersonal. Narrowly
defined jobs constricted by rules and procedures
also tended to stifle initiatives and creativity,
and the atmosphere was emotionally repressive.
The post-entrepreneurial corporation, in
contrast, with its stress on teamwork and
co-operation.brings people closer together,
making the personal dimension of relationships
more important  Rosabeth Moss Kanter   You
firmly believe that sound management means
executives on one side and workers on the other,
on one side men who think and on the other men
who can only work. For you, management is the
art of smoothly transferring the executives
ideas into the workers hands.   We are beyond
this business as we know, is so complex and
difficult, the survival of organisations so
hazardous in an environment increasingly
unpredictable, competitive and fraught with
danger, that their continued existence depends on
their ability to constantly change through the
mobilisation of every ounce of intelligence.  Kon
