What works in changing a culture? “A powerful person at the top, or a large enough group from anywhere in the organization, decides the old ways are not working, figures out a change vision, starts acting differently, and enlists others to act differently. If the new actions produce better results, if the results are communicated and celebrated, and if they are not killed off by the old culture fighting its rear-guard action, new norms will form and new shared values will grow” And what doesn’t work? “Some group decides what the new culture should be. It turns a list of values over to the communications or HR departments with the order that they tell people what the new culture is. They cascade the message down the hierarchy, and little to nothing changes” John Kotter, Quoted in BMJ editorial March 2013
But what else works? Connecting with Communities of Practice … Articulate shared vision Lead Manage Identify success criteria Design curricula Harness existing skills/knowledge/research Evaluate/review Celebrate success Identifypriorities Engage others Co-create measure Share Mobilise resources act Co-design plan
Building Strategic Networks Bring people together… Community of engagement Community of interest System Community of practice … to bring about change
Learningto share • Cultural change takes time • Gently push but pull hard • Keep it simple • Just in time training backed up by expert coaching • Measurement & analytical skills • Don't ignore the ‘middle’ • Sometimes special things are needed for special people • Don't over estimate the confidence of coaches • Where you start might not be important • Keep ‘rocking the boat’ but make sure you hold your friends in there with you
