  2. How many change programs succeed? Only 30%! How many of you made a New Year’s Resolution? How many of you are succeeding at it?

  3. Myth #1CRISIS IS A POWERFUL IMPETUS FOR CHANGE REALITY: Ninety percent of patients who’ve had coronary bypasses don’t change their unhealthy lifestyles even though they know their lives are threatened.

  4. Myth #2CHANGE IS MOTIVATED BY FEAR REALITY: It’s too easy for people to go into denial of the bad things that might happen to them. Compelling, positive visions of the future are a much stronger inspiration for change.

  5. Myth #3THE FACTS WILL SET US FREE REALITY: Our thinking is guided by narratives, not facts. When a fact doesn’t fit our conceptual “frames” (the metaphors we use to make sense of the world) we reject it. Change is inspired best by emotional appeals rather than factual statements.

  6. Myth #4SMALL, GRADUAL CHANGES ARE ALWAYS EASIER TO MAKE AND SUSTAIN REALITY: Radical sweeping changes are often easier because they quickly yield benefits.

  7. Myth #5WE CAN’T CHANGE BECAUSE OUR BRAINS BECOME “HARDWIRED”EARLY IN LIFE REALITY: Our brains have extraordinary “plasticity,” meaning that we can continue learning complex new things throughout our lives—assuming we remain truly active and engaged.

  8. What have you learned about change from your own experience in organizations?What questions do you have about managing change?

  9. Nature of Organizational Change • Means reexamining basic assumptions • Involves a mourning period for old ways • New behavior leads to new attitudes • Process of unfreezing, moving, refreezing • Too much change is disturbing • Unpredictable; may result in unanticipated consequences • Difficult but not impossible

  10. Four Basic Conditions Needed for Change • Compelling story – buy-in • Role modeling – lead by example • Reinforcing mechanisms – aligned systems, processes, incentives • Capability building – training/buying the skills needed to make the change

  11. Compelling Story – How Human Nature Gets in the Way • 1. What motivates you doesn’t motivate most of your employees • You’re better off letting them write their own story • It takes a story with both + and – to motivate them

  12. Role Modeling – How Human Nature Gets in the Way • Leaders mistakenly believe that they already “are the change” • Influence leaders aren’t a panacea for making change happen

  13. Reinforcing Mechanisms – How Human Nature Gets in the Way • Money is the most expensive way to motivate people • The process and the outcome have to be fair

  14. Capability Building – How Human Nature Gets in the Way • Employees are what they think, feel, and believe in • Good intentions aren’t enough

  15. Conditions Favorable for Change C=(D X S X P) > X Where... C = change D = dissatisfaction with status quo S = an identifiable and desired end state P = practical plan for achieving the desired end state X = the cost of change to the organization

  16. Change is a process, not an edict. Goal/ Solution Process

  17. Build the Guiding Team Get the Vision Right Make Change Stick Communicate for Buy-In Don’t Let Up Create Short-Term Wins Empower Action Stages in the Change Process Increase Urgency
