IMPLEMENTATION CONSENSUS INFRASTRUCTURE Three Phases Needed for Systems Change
CONSENSUS INFRASTRUCTURE CONSENSUS IMPLEMENTATION CONSENSUS INFRASTRUCTURE Communication during implementation is MORE important than during consensus.
Consensus to Infrastructure & Implementation • Consensus does not happen naturally, it is intentionally created • Consensus leads to ownership • Initial consensus is established when your staff moves from asking why questions to asking how and what questions?

Point to the Destination What is the final goal? Where are you heading? Create a destination postcard:
Point to the Destination Water the Bamboo, Greg Bell, 2009 • What is so crucial to your success that you are willing to work on it, possibly for years without seeing results? • A Vision is. . . • Visible • Vivid • Viable
Vision = Change initiative VISION
Vision = Change initiative VISION
Find the feeling • Acknowledge that change is hard • Expect some difficult times • People want to hear the music
Find the feeling • School Culture can stop change in it’s tracks • People can be perceived as irrational • Decisions can be made poorly • Personalities can get in the way • Initiative fatigue
Climate = Relationship • People will work harder for people who they like and trust • People will perceive you as an object until you get to know them. • Real change does not happen on the macro level, it happens over and over at the personal, micro, level.

Incentives Our professional work is our personal work
Doing good work “rallies” us “Everything we know about motivation tells us that deep excitement comes from doing something worthwhile, doing it well, and getting results.” ~Michael Fullan, Change Leader, 2011, p. 76
