  1. Change Management Prof. Steve Phelan Lecture 10

  2. Today • Culture, values, and behavior • Why change programs don’t produce change • Psychological contracts • Culture change at Seagram • LMZ Ch 24 • Building systems that learn on a large scale (~1990)

  3. Why change programs don’t produce change • Fallacy of programmatic change • Formal organization structure and systems cannot lead a corporate renewal process • Successful transformations usually start at the periphery in a few plants far from corporate • Ad hoc arrangements to solve concrete business problems • Change roles, responsibilities, relationships • -> Changes behavior which then changes attitudes • Senior managers should: • Create a climate for change • Provide resources and leadership development • Spread the lessons of success and failure • Not insist on specific solutions

  4. Changing the deal while keeping the people • What is a psychological contract? • Examples • Achieving transformation • Challenging the old contract – a reason to change • Preparation for change • Signal that we really mean it • Symbolic ending of old contract • Loss reduction – losses are more painful than gains • Transition structures • Creating a new mindset • Evoking a new contract script – interesting! • Living the new contract

  5. Psychological contracts ctd. • Continuous change • Can an organization go through so many changes that they lose the capacity for employees to enter into voluntary commitments and good faith agreements? • Concept of balanced contracts • Both employer and employee have performance terms to live up to and high investments in the relationship

  6. Seagram Case • Questions are given: • What should be done with recommendations for action raised by participants in training? • Are you going to punish the values violators? • How will we recognize and reward the values champions? • What should be done with new employees? • How do we sustain the momentum / institutionalize the values?

  7. Large scale systems change • The article effectively applies OD to large scale system change • Maximum mix teams • Organizational valentines • Preferred futuring • Celebrating diversity (MBTI) • Do you buy the philosophy? • Does it work under any circumstances? • Would you ever use it?
