  16. Increasing the Impact of Your Institutional Transformation • Stages of Change • Institutional Cultures • Framing the Message CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  17. The Five Stages of Change CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 17 Source: Carnes, Handelsman & Sheridan et al, 2005

  18. Types of Institutional Cultures Multicultural Monolithic Pluralistic Very little attention is paid to recruiting and retaining diverse employees. Attention is paid to increasing diverse representation and enhancing fair treatment. However assimilation into a pre-defined and dominant institutional model is expected. Characterized by policies and practices that facilitate the inclusion of diverse employees— encouraging the full utilization of talent and enhancing employees’ abilities to contribute to their maximum potential. Source: Cox, 1991 CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  19. Start Where You Are: Examine Your Stage and Culture With respect to your Institutional Transformation goals: • What stage is your university at? • What type of culture permeates your institution? • How do your IDEAL-N departments vary by stage of change and type of culture? • How can this information help you tailor your message about the goals of your institutional change theme and project? CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 19

  20. Start Where You Are: Tailor Your Message to Move the Needle • Stage-matched interventions outperform one-size-fits-all interventions in behavior studies. • Allows everyone to participate in the change even if they are not ready to take action. • Acknowledges that the power to change already exists and is a choice. • Concrete reflection of how you can move the needle on change. “A Transtheoretical Approach to Changing Organizations”, Janice M. Prochaska, James O. Prochaska, and Deborah A. Levesque, Administration and Policy in Mental Health, 2001, 28(4) CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 20

  21. Frame Your Transformation Message • Communication is not just information transmission; it is the management of complex meaning • “Framing” organizes experience and shapes content • Where do you want the attention? Clearly define and share: • Your vision (institutional transformation theme) and change project • The goal of the communication/meeting (information, persuasion, collaboration, input, celebration) • The mutual purpose of transformation: what is the benefit for all? • Specific strategies, actions, or contributions that would move the project forward CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 21

  22. Use All the Available Tools to Permeate the Campus with Your Vision • Hold informational meetings • In all IDEAL departments • With potential collaborators to explore common priorities • With constituents who may be affected (pre-tenure faculty etc.) • Use and adapt prepared IDEAL-N PPTs, summaries, web pages and publicity • Activate your marketing department, university and school/college-wide • Use national events/news/reports to raise awareness and highlight IDEAL-N activities on your campus CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 22

  23. Cross University Discussion Discuss across universities: • Stages of change • Institutional cultures • Framing your message for maximum impact CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  24. Embedding Your Vision into the Fabric of Your University • Framing and communicating your Institutional Transformation Theme as a compelling vision of change • Embedding your vision into the fabric of the campus • Building institutionalization into transformational activities • Measuring the transformation achieved CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  25. Example - ACES (CWRU’s ADVANCE IT) Vision To promote a campus-wide culture characterized by equality, participation, openness, and accountability CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  26. Example - IDEAL-N Vision Transform the culture and increase the number of STEM women and URM faculty in all ranks and leadership at each partner university through: Creation of an empowered change leader community through leadership development of key change agents Implementation of annual projects to drive change in structures, policies, practices, and metrics Sharing information and best practices across partner universities, including through an annual plenary conference Commitment and sustainability from senior administration. Outreach beyond partner universities through creation of a gender equity index Sustainability and Outreach Information & Best Practice Sharing University Change Projects Change Leader Team Development CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  27. The Levels of Vision Increase the representation and advancement of women in academic STEM careers for a more diverse science and engineering workforce. NSF-ADVANCE Vision To transform the culture and increase the number of STEM women and URM faculty in all ranks and leadership at each partner university IDEAL-N Vision IDEAL-N Partner University Vision Each Partner University’s Institutional Transformation Vision Annual Change Project Goals Each Annual Change Project’s Vision CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  28. How Leaders Communicate Vision • They compellingly articulate purpose • They constantly share information about how accomplishing the vision benefits all • They use vision to provide direction and priorities • They keep the vision energized and up to date • They help to create the environment that supports achieving the vision • They are the champions and stewards of the vision CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  29. Embed Your Vision into the Fabric of the University • Activate campus allies • Build institutionalization into activities • Embed vision at all levels, University Leadership, School/Department, Campus • Permeate the university with your vision CWRU IDEAL-N 2016

  30. Embed Your Vision: Activate your Allies and Build In Institutionalization • Hold regular meetings of the IDEAL-N project team and invite relevant others to attend • Weave a coalition of campus allies to move IDEAL-N goals forward and embed the project in a sustainable way • NSF Indicator data can strengthen Institutional Research (IR) capabilities to measure and document transformation • “NSF cannot be your IR” comment at mid-project site visit at CWRU led to expanded department • Think now about institutionalization - How will IDEAL-N changes and momentum be sustained? • e.g., Faculty Diversity Specialist position and Women’s Center staff position from soft money to permanent at CWRU CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 30
