Understanding Change in an Organization Pragmatic: Wants anecdotal evidence Conservative: Wants to see; Hold on Waits to hear good anecdotes Skeptic: No Way Willing to take risk on change Early Adopters Late Majority Change Initiator Early Majority Laggards Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” ― Peter F.

Potential Adopters Consideration by potential adopters from awareness to adoption. • Relative advantage - Change is perceived as being better than the current state; • Compatibility – Change is perceived to be consistent with the existing values, past experiences and needs of potential adopters; • Complexity - Change is perceived as difficult to adopt; • Trialability - An opportunity to experiment with the change on a limited basis • Observability -Change is visible to others Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
10-80-10 Rule • 10% are positive leaders and 10% are negative leaders. • 80% of people in any given group are followers. Too many leaders are like travel agents – they are sending people where they have never been themselves. Instead you want to be a tour guide – you want to take people with you. Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
Failure is not an option! • Understand the change (improvement) to access the potential value ! • Manage the System and Not People Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
The Elephant and the Rider • Elephant • Emotional part is instinctive and feels pain and pleasure • Rider • Reason or Rational part is reflective, conscious, deliberative and analytical Everyone in an organization is both a Rider and an Elephant Direct the Rider (rational) Motivate the Elephant (emotional) Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
What gets in the way when change fails ? • Caused by the elephant • The elephant is much stronger than the rider, but it is lazy and prefers immediate gratification over delayed gratification • Exhaustion due to things that are “true but useless” • Motivate the Elephant • Shrink the change • Find the feeling • Implement small change Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
Three Necessary Conditions for Change • Change that person’s situation • The solution to changing people behaviour is to change their situation • Emotional conviction • Self control • Laziness is often exhaustion(the Rider wears out trying • to control the Elephant) • People simply run out of will power • Rational direction • Provide crystal-clear direction Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
Three-Part Framework for Change • Direct the Rider • Provide crystal-clear direction • Resistance = Lack of Clarity • Motivate the Elephant • More Elephants than Riders • Elephants need emotional reasons to change • Laziness = exhaustion • Shape the Path (change the situation) • Workflows, systems, habits • Understand the "why" behind the change • Commitment from leaders throughout the organization Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting
