Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Nothing remains the same
Peter F Gallagher & LinkedIn
September 09, 2022
“Nothing remains the same and at some point in time, everything changes”

Happy Friday!

On this day, September 9th, 2015, Queen Elizabeth II becomes Great Britain’s longest-reigning monarch at 63 years and seven months. Unfortunately, we lost our Queen yesterday. We will miss her leadership in the global arena where she served with strength, dignity, power, and poise.

Also on this day, in 2003, Apple iTunes sold its ten millionth song just four months after launching. After eighteen years, iTunes was discontinued and replaced with three separate apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts and Apple TV. A reminder to us all of how quickly things change, not that we need a reminder after the last thirty months with covid, the great resignation, the desire for hybrid working and quiet quitting.

The 2020s have so far been a period of massive disruption, and the way we work, live, and socialise is changing quickly and dramatically. Nothing remains the same.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Eradicate Silos Before Change Implementation
Peter F Gallagher & LinkedIn
September 02, 2022
“Change implementation cannot afford the luxury of organisation silos, the leaders that create them or the behaviour that tolerates them”

Happy Friday!

On this day in 1666, the Great Fire of London started in Pudding Lane, and 80% of London was destroyed. The fire was extinguished four/five days later, after it had destroyed 373 acres, which included more than 13,000 houses and 84 churches, St Paul’s Cathedral and much of London Bridge. Many ambitious plans were put forward, narrow streets that had helped the fire spread were to be replaced by wide avenues radiating from a central hub. These plans for change were rejected for various reasons, the property owners wanted to keep the same land they owned before the fire, finances were tight, and salvaging the economy quickly was a top priority. The Rebuilding of London Act 1966 was passed to regulate the heights of new buildings, and the kinds of building materials used (brick and stone preferred) with the use of flammable materials restricted for obvious reasons. However, an opportunity for radical change was missed and silo thinking won the day.

For the change to be successful, organisational silos must be eradicated quickly and ruthlessly. This is one change sponsor task that cannot be delayed or evaded. Silo Leaders Prevent Organisational Change.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Organisation Change Capacity
Peter F Gallagher
August 26, 2022
Happy Friday!

On this day in 1843, American inventor Charles Thurber received a patent (3228) for the first practical typewriter. It reminds me of a change management training moment when the consultant talked about having to lock up the typewriter so that the employees would use the new more efficient word processors!

This week, in my discussions following a mastermind session, I learnt more about employees wanting to be digital nomads working where they please. We are now living in a time where how we work, live, and socialise is changing both quickly and radically. Organisations need to be continually changing and that prompts me to mention organisation change capacity. I have worked for major global organisations, and they have tried to implement ten to twenty transformation programmes at the same time. So how much capacity does an organisation have to implement change and continue normal day-to-day operations?

An organisation’s capacity can be defined as its total ability to deliver normal day-to-day operations and change activities. Organisation Change Capacity

“Unless the change programme is continually aligned to the organisation’s capacity it will be unable to deliver speedy benefits or value to the organisation”

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Change Leadership Knowledge and Skills
LinkedIn
August 19, 2022
“Change waits for no leader, the knowledge and skills required for leading day-to-day operations are very different to change leadership”
Happy Friday!

Some people say August can be a strange working month and we could be forgiven for thinking the Northern Hemisphere generally shuts down over August. Statistically it is difficult to disagree! Based on the Roman calendar, August was actually the sixth month of the year. It originally had 30 days, but this changed, and an extra day was added so that it would equal the number of days in July, which was named after Julius Caesar!

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #3 Icon: Assess Previous Change
PFG Publishing
October 24, 2020
3rd Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Assess Previous Change:
This step is about Assessing Previous Change to achieve future change management success. This involves analysing previous organisation change history to mitigate previous weaknesses and enhance future success.
“To achieve future organisational change management success, analyse previous change history to mitigate previous weakness and enhance future success”
Business Benefits:Assessing previous change history can provide data and insights as to what worked well, or not so well in the past. This can provide guidance for future change implementations in order to improve adoption and benefits realisation.

Business Objective: Lessons learned from previous change history can:
❖ Enhance Previous Change Success: Establish what worked well previously so it can be used to enhance future change implementation success.
❖ Mitigate Previous Change Weaknesses: Establish what did not work well so the same mistakes are not repeated, mitigating previous implementation change weaknesses.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF)
The a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) is a structured and disciplined approach to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change, the transition from the current ‘a’ state to the improved future ‘B’ state. The a2BCMF has three phases and ten key process steps. Each phase provides change strategies, principles, analysis and tactics to move from one phase to the next.

The framework is based on over thirty years of international change experience and brings together leading practice in change, people and programme management. The structured programme approach, processes, techniques and tools focus on overcoming the failures of previous change by incorporating ten key steps and success elements for achieving organisational change. It supports strategic change implementation in terms of context, content and process. The framework is a comprehensive management model that allows executives, managers and change practitioners to successfully deliver and achieve organisational change. It requires a holistic approach and some steps can be performed simultaneously.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #2 Icon: Secure Sponsorship and Resources
PFG Publishing
October 17, 2020
2nd Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Secure Sponsorship and Resources:
Sponsorship: The sponsor is a senior executive who is responsible for delivering change success. They are accountable for the delivery of all ten-steps of the a2B Change Management Framework.
Resources: The sponsor will need the support of a competent and motivated change team, a supportive CEO, the organisation’s leadership team and change agents to help them implement the change.
“Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the change programme will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees or sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits”
Business Benefits: Sponsorship is the single most important factor in organisational change success. Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the organisation’s investment in its portfolio of change programme or projects will not provide a return on investment (ROI).

Business Objective: The sponsor and the change resources will work with the stakeholders through the a2BCMF to deliver the change benefits, ensuring both a ROI and the intended strategy are achieved.

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) Step 2 Secure Sponsorship and Resources, Leadership of Change, Change Management Quote “Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the change programme will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees or sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits” ~ Peter F Gallagher Change Management Expert and Global Thought Leader, a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) Step 2 Secure Sponsorship and Resources, Leadership of Change, Change Management Quote “Without effective and proactive sponsorship, the change programme will eventually fail, the change will not be adopted by the employees or sustained, and it will not deliver the intended benefits” ~ Peter F Gallagher Change Management Expert and Global Thought Leader,

a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF) - Step #1 Icon: Change Definition
PFG Publications
October 10, 2020
1st Critical Organisational Change Implementation Step - Plan Phase

Change Definition: The process of defining the change and aligning the programmes within the portfolio to the organisation’s strategy, ensuring it has a business case and resources to deliver business benefits.
“Unless the change programme is continually aligned to the organisation’s strategy and capacity it will not deliver speedy benefits or value to the organisation”
Business Benefits: Too many change programmes and transformations fail to deliver the business benefits and value on which they are justified. This step identifies the key foundations that need to be in place to deliver the benefits. This step ensures proper due diligence by assessing estimates of costs, benefits and risks, go/no go decision, etc.

Business Objective: To assess if the change is aligned with the organisation’s strategy, it should have a business case and resources to deliver value, clear stakeholder impacts, proper governance, a high-level timeline and milestones. An important deliverable that could differentiate this change programme from other projects will be benefits planning and tracking.

Change Management - Organisation Change Capacity and Workload
PFG Publishing
May 20, 2020
An organisation’s capacity can be defined as the organisation’s total ability to deliver normal day-to-day operations and change activities. If the organisation does not have change capacity it is unlikely the employees will be able to take on any extra workload. Getting this balance right can mean the difference between successfully delivering both, however the data from the change history assessment (CHA) constantly highlights this as a challenge. The feedback from employees is that their workload is not considered when the organisation is implementing change. Specific feedback indicates that workload is not taken into account when learning new software, technology, systems, methods or processes. This change overload not only causes workforce stress but also creates resistance to the change that would otherwise have been accepted.

Trusted Adviser: Change Management Leadership
PFG Publishing
February 09, 2020
One of the most important considerations for a change practitioner or a lean practitioner is that, without trust you will not achieve improvement or change through people. As a change improvement agent, you are selling a change to the organisation. The person you engage with will ask one key question when you introduce yourself, “can I trust you?” The Trust Equation provides a model to show the key elements of a change agent as a Trusted Adviser. The objective is to build trust by increasing credibility, reliability, intimacy and to lower self-orientation.

Employee Change Adoption - Aligning the Employee and Organisation
PFG Publishing
February 07, 2020
Achieving Employee Change Adoption in a major organisation change or transformation has mixed success and the ROI benefits are not always realised. The main objective of any change project is to deliver improved future performance by facilitating and enabling step improvement, from the current “a” state to the future improved “B” state. The improved future “B” state is about getting Change Adoption. It is about providing the employees with the new skills, behaviours and motivation so they are aligned with the organisation’s processes and systems. Leadership and sponsorship are key enablers to change success, articulating why the change is necessary and how it links to the strategy. Communication is one of the key levers to deliver successful Change Adoption, it is at the heart of successful change, it acts like the blood in our bodies, but instead of supplying vital oxygen and nutrients, communication supplies information and motivation that is imperative for successful change.

Change Management - Sponsorship is one of the Most Important Elements in any Change Journey
PFG Publishing
February 04, 2020
After delivering change, transformation, business and process improvement projects for over thirty years, it is difficult not to accept that one of the most important elements in change project success is effective and proactive sponsorship. In fact, without effective and proactive project sponsorship, the project will eventually fail. There are three key elements to support the project: ‘Say’, ‘Support’ and ‘Sustain’! Common sense is not always common, similarly effective and proactive sponsorship is not always applied, thus change does not always deliver the intended benefits.

“Sponsorship is the single most important factor in change success” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Business Improvement - Transforming Global HR Processes (Case Study)
PFG Publishing
August 21, 2019
The right employees are an organisation’s key asset and offer core competitive advantage. Treat them so and develop them, so they can aspire and with the right strategy and leadership you can become a global leader. Employees are the customer interface to deliver client value and nowhere is this more evident than in a global energy organisation with over 90,000 employees, based in over 90 difference countries. If the HR function can manage key employee life-cycle processes, to get the right people, with the right skills, into the right country, at the right time, this will impact project delivery and enhance client value. This is especially true if 7,500 of these employees are expatriate and they bring specialist knowledge and skills not yet developed within the country.
Lean business and process improvement was deployed globally across the organisation as an enabler, to improve wider organisation process waste removal, simplification and efficiency. The HR Executive deployed Lean to improve processes around the employee life-cycle, build process improvement capability and apply those skills in everyday work to create a culture of continuous improvement.

“The right employees are an organisations key asset and offer core competitive advantage. Treat them so and develop them, so they can aspire and with the right strategy and leadership you can become a global leader”

PFG Publishing
March 13, 2019
Change Management Fables:
Ten fables about the leadership paradox of implementing organisational change management versus delivering normal day-to-day operations, structured on the a2B Change Management Framework.

About this Book:
Leaders go about their daily task of implementing the organisation’s strategy to deliver financial results. All of a sudden there is a change explosion that disrupts normal day-to-day operations. This is the leadership paradox: implementing change versus delivering day-to-day operations. Leaders then need to adjust their focus to implement the change, so that the organisation stays ahead of the competition and continues to deliver revenue to its shareholders. That means the change has to ensure a return on investment, full employee change adoption, and sustainable change.
Leadership of Change Volume 1 represents the author’s experiences throughout his career, it provides ten practical stories of typical and consistent change management challenges that organisations and leaders experience when implementing organisation change, transitioning their organisation from the current ‘a’ state to the future ‘B’ state. Potential solutions are introduced which are developed in subsequent volumes. This book includes illustrations as well as the a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF), the AUILM Employee Change Adoption Model and the a2B5R Employee Behaviour Change Model.

Change Management Handbook 3.3.3 The Importance of Assessing Previous Change
PFG Publishing - The Leadership of Change Volume 3
August 04, 2019
The change history assessment (CHA) can be used to review the outcomes of previous change programmes and initiatives. It provides organisational insights that may increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigating previous weaknesses and enhancing future success. Many large organisations use change impact and readiness assessments to establish organisational insights prior to change implementation. The CHA provides a diagnostic analysis of previous change programmes to establish root causes (Ishikawa, 1990) that may have prevented a change from being more successful. The objective is to develop improved change management implementation plans using real data that will enhance future change success. This data driven approach can be used to establish internal organisational change management leading practices for future programmes. Previous change programmes can leave a lasting negative or positive effect, and it is important to learn from them by performing structured analysis.

3.3.4 Change and Learning Organisations
Central to the CHA is organisational learning (Senge, 19901). According to Senge, learning organisations are “where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.” Organisational learning is an ongoing process which produces everlasting change. Organisational change is likely to be easier to implement into an organisation that understands the need for the change. Having employees with a growth mindset further improves the chances of successful change. The growth and fixed mindset concepts are developed further in Section 3.7.10.

3.3.5 Change History Assessment - Elements
After having worked on change, transformation and improvement programmes over the last thirty years, it is easy to see consistent factors arising. The Leadership of Change has defined ten key elements of the change history assessment (CHA). They are based on reviewing previous organisational change implementations, interviews with employees and lessons learned reviews. The recurrence of these factors may vary from organisation to organisation at any point in time, but they are data points that consistently surface when assessing the success of previous change implementations. The ten elements are listed in Figure 3.3.2.

It covers the key change management concepts such as sponsorship, communications, readiness, resistance and adoption. The assessments provide valuable input on whether the team should progress from one critical a2BCMF step to the next.

Change Management Fables: Leadership of Change Volume 1
PFG Publishing
March 17, 2019
Change Management Fables:
Ten fables about the leadership paradox of implementing organisational change management versus delivering normal day-to-day operations, structured on the a2B Change Management Framework.

About this Book:
Leaders go about their daily task of implementing the organisation’s strategy to deliver financial results. All of a sudden there is a change explosion that disrupts normal day-to-day operations. This is the leadership paradox: implementing change versus delivering day-to-day operations. Leaders then need to adjust their focus to implement the change, so that the organisation stays ahead of the competition and continues to deliver revenue to its shareholders. That means the change has to ensure a return on investment, full employee change adoption, and sustainable change.
Leadership of Change Volume 1 represents the author’s experiences throughout his career, it provides ten practical stories of typical and consistent change management challenges that organisations and leaders experience when implementing organisation change, transitioning their organisation from the current ‘a’ state to the future ‘B’ state. Potential solutions are introduced which are developed in subsequent volumes. This book includes illustrations as well as the a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF), the AUILM Employee Change Adoption Model and the a2B5R Employee Behaviour Change Model.

Change Management Gamification Leadership Business Simulation (App)
Peter F Gallagher
June 15, 2023
Experiential Learning Leader Business Simulation Workshop:
Our change management gamification one-day workshop is an interactive and dynamic way for organisational leaders to learn both change leadership skills and knowledge using game characteristics and experiential learning. Participants will also develop change leadership self-awareness about their own emotions and those of the case study stakeholders as they react to the leader’s chosen change tactic during the one-day workshop with peers.

Learning App:
The app contains a case study, it is a business simulation which focuses on implementing a new business management system, and the workshop participants perform the role of the ‘Head of Change’ over ten rounds, applying their chosen change tactic at the end of each round. The app’s thirteen stakeholders can react positively, neutrally, or negatively to each team’s chosen change tactic. The app displays stakeholder reactions and feedback, their game board position, and team scores. It also includes 28 learning videos embedded throughout the ten rounds. Each participant receives a final report on game completion, showing their team’s change concept choices, stakeholder reactions, overall score, etc.

Change Leadership Alignment Process
PFG Publications
May 19, 2020
Five Step Approach to Change Leadership Alignment
The five steps of the change leadership alignment process (Figure 3.1.1) are:
Step 1 - Change History Assessment (CHA): The CHA data driven approach to establish how successful the organisation was at previous change. It provides organisational insights that can increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigating previous weaknesses and enhancing future success.
Step 2. 1:1 Leadership Interviews: Interview with each of the leadership team to establish the gaps within the organisation and the barriers to implementing strategic change successfully.
Step 3. Strategic Alignment: The leadership team should be aligned with the organisation's strategic priorities and their vision for change should be prepared.
Step 4. Develop High Performing Teams: The leadership team will have to have trust and stay committed so they can achieve their strategy change objectives and goals.
Step 5. Develop Leadership of Change Capability: Change management gamification will be used for experiential learning during a change case study where the leadership team gets to assess, select and implement their chosen change tactics through three simulation change phases: Plan, Execute and Sustain.

Change History Assessment (CHA)
SlideShare
June 15, 2017
The Change History Assessment (CHA) is used by change teams to review the outcomes of previous change programmes within their organisation. It provides organisational insights that can increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigating previous weaknesses and enhancing future success. It is important to learn from previous change by performing structured analysis to identify negative issues and to avoid repeating them on the next change. The insights from the CHA will help to shape the change approach, planning and the resistance strategy.

“To achieve future organisational change management success, analyse previous change history to mitigate previous weakness and enhance future success” ~ Peter F Gallagher

Previous Change Previous History will Impact Future Success. The CHA is executed during Step 2 of the a2B Change Management Framework (a2BCMF).

Leadership of Change: Three Change Management Lessons Learned
Scottish Programme and Project Group (SPPMG)
April 04, 2019
Heriot Watt University, Riccarton Campus, Edinburgh, UK
Scottish Programme and Project Group (SPPMG) - Annual Conference
Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve identified goals and meet specific success criteria at the agreed time.
When an organisation introduces a new project or programme this usually impacts their employees. Change management is the process, techniques and tools to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change transition from the current state ‘a’ to the future state ‘B’.
Many programme or project implementations do not realise their intended benefits, and integrated project and change management can improve adoption and the ROI.
This session will discuss ‘Three Change Management Lessons Learned’

Leadership of Change: 10 Change Management Lessons Learned
PFG Speaks
June 21, 2018
On 21st June, Edinburgh will play host to Scotland’s DIGIT Leaders IT Summit, bringing senior technologists from across Scotland together for knowledge exchange, discussion and networking.

IT is evolving: the role of Information Technology within the organisation has fundamentally changed, drawn from a background support function into a crucial centre of innovation, value creation and competitive edge. More than ever before, the success and failure of the organisation is being defined by its technological ability.

IT Project Overspend - 10 Change Management Lessons Learned
Too many change/IT programme and project implementations do not realise the benefits or achieve a ROI. Implementations tend to overspend on IT software, mainly due to late delivery, bugs, unforeseen complexity and as a result communication, change management and training budgets are usual reduced impacting overall implementation success. Peter talks about 10 change management lessons learned which include:
 Many IT project implementations do not realise their intended benefits
 IT budgets tend to overspend, reducing change, communication and training budgets
 Align the project with strategy and dropping less important projects
 The importance of sponsorship and what it means to the leadership team
 Assessing previous change history to avoid past mistakes
 Developing the new skills and behaviours to achieve change adoption is critical

Change Management & Gamification

Panel Speakers: Dwani Shah, Prajvala Reddy and Peter F Gallagher with an audience mainly from India.

“Disruption is the new constant”
Organisations have to evolve to grow, thrive and succeed. The evolution of culture is directly tied to the evolution of people, the evolution of objectives and the evolution of processes. Change management, hence, is a vital practice in the overall journey of an organisation’s success. Like all things in life, it also has to adapt to change.

Resignation vs Re-emergence Round Table Discussion - ACMP East Coast Australia Chapter
ACMP East Coast Australia Chapter
February 16, 2022
Wednesday 16 February 6.00pm to 7.30pm (AEDT)

About the Webinar:
The pressure to change has been building across organisations well before the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Today we face a world of heightened connectivity, lower transactional costs, unprecedented advances in automation, and an increasing use of artificial intelligence and data analytics to drive performance and decision-making.

Results indicate that business disruption is in fact increasing, automation is undercutting mechanistic thinking, and the barriers to enter markets are evaporating. The workforce has very different career aspirations, expecting and demanding greater learning and career opportunities.

But whilst technology is converging, our organisations and job design remain ‘unconverged’ and 85% of people are still disengaged at work. Covid got people out of the building long enough for many to take stock of what was important to them now and to start ‘re-imagining’ what work needs to look like for them in the future.

Our a2B AUILM Model is an employee adoption target change management model to guide employees and the organisation through our 10 – a2B Step Change Management Framework.

The a2B AUILM Model helps teams driving change to understand how employees might react during a change transition which they may perceive as a threat to them. Although individual employees will react to change differently, the model highlights some personal emotions each may be feeling. It provides a perspective on why there might be resistance, as well as options the change team could use to counter resistance along the change transition journey.

Leadership of Change - ASQ Lean Six Sigma Conference 2020 - Phoenix, AZ.
ASQ & PFG Publishing
March 03, 2020
23 - 25 February 2020, I visited the US and spoke about the Leadership of Change at the American Society for Quality (ASQ) Lean and Six Sigma world summit at the stunning Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix, Arizona. I presented the "Leadership of Change - 10 Change Management Lessons Learned" with special insights on change leadership alignment.

One of the focus areas of the conference was “Embracing Change.” In today’s ever-changing landscape of disruption and transformation, organisations must continually evaluate and challenge past practices to optimise excellence and growth. With this in mind, I discussed the change explosion that hits the leaders of organisations and how they have to balance their business focus. This focus cannot just be on normal day-to-day operations, but they will also have to lead and sponsor their organisation’s critical change as part of living during 4IR. I also discussed how we use change management gamification as part of experiential learning about change management.The objectives are to equip the leadership team with the knowledge, experience and skills to lead their change, improvement or transformation programmes.

~ 4IR and Disruptive Technologies

Change management can be the proven game changer to improve capital and operating performance, ensuring sustainable organisational cultural change.

Key Topics and Points Covered:

What is change management?
Key change management elements:
Sponsorship
Previous change history
Change resistance
Key lessons learned from change implementation
Objectives:

To demonstrate to business leaders the importance of using change management to achieve change adoption to implement improvements, create the new behaviours and accelerate improved business results.

Changing employee's behaviour and improving their performance is a critical part of the change management process. Our a2B5R Model systematically supports the transition of the employee behavioural change from the current state 'a' to the future state 'B'. The model specifically supports the a2BCMF – Step 8 – Develop New Skills and Behaviours. During the definition step the few new critical behaviours will have been defined and they will be developed along with the new skills.

Change Management Gamification CMExec - Virtual Demo Version
YouTube
July 10, 2020
About Change Management Gamification CMExec:
CMExec is a fascinating change management implementation simulation that offers leadership teams and leaders of change experiential learning in a safe environment. This enables them to learn, test and reflect on their change leadership capability and skills.

Game Formats: CMExec can be played face-to-face in a workshop setting or online using the gaming platform. The virtual online version can be played as an individual, players verses players or team mode. The face-to-face version is played using on physical boards positioned on each teams table with a central team progress board positioned centrally in the room.

Case Study:
AutoChanze is a global supplier of automotive systems, modules, and components to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and related aftermarkets. Up until recently they have been a successful and profitable organisation but a recent report commissioned by the Board of Directors has indicated the the automotive industry will be impacted by 4IR like never before!

Gamification Objective:
During the simulation the change leaders (in their teams) will focus on how they can achieve the balance between normal day-to-day operations and delivering successful change and employee adoption of a new IT system. They will assess, select and implement their chosen change tactics through three simulation change phases: Plan, Execute and Sustain. They will be scored on how successful their tactics were in implementing successful change.

Leading Change Practice:
The gamification uses the globally recognised a2B Change Management Framework, Models and Tools.

Outcome:
The participants will be equipped with knowledge, experience, a Change Management Framework, Models and Tools which will enable them to be successful as leaders in delivering organisational change and transformations. They will become more aware of how to manage stakeholder resistance, expectations and feelings as they try to achieve their organisation's vision and employee change adoption.

The Leadership of Change: Three Change Management Lessons Learned - Heriot-Watt University - Edinburg
YouTube
April 06, 2019
Scottish Programme and Project Management Group (SPPMG) - Heriot-Watt University - Edinburgh

Extract from Keynote Presentation: Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve identified goals and meet specific success criteria at the agreed time.
When an organisation introduces a new project or programme this usually impacts their employees. Change management is the process, techniques and tools to support organisations, leadership teams and individuals going through a change transition from the current state ‘a’ to the future state ‘B’.
Many programme or project implementations do not realise their intended benefits, and integrated project and change management can improve adoption and the ROI.
This session will discuss ‘Three Change Management Lessons Learned’

Change Management - Employee Change Resistance (Keynote extract)
YouTube
November 15, 2018
Most organisatons will encounter resistance to change, whether the change is perceived by employees as impacting them in a positive or negative way. Resistance can take many forms, it can be overt or covert, as well as active or passive. Organisational leaders cannot control the world changing around them, but they should try to understand employee groups within a change and move them quickly towards understanding resistance and acceptance of the change.
Employee Groups involved in a Change Journey
There are three groups of employees in any change management journey: ‘Advocates’, ‘Observers’ and ‘Rebels’. Each group will react differently to organisational change and will have different levels of resistance.
~ Advocates: They tend to embrace and lead change within the organisation.
~ Observers: They will monitor the ‘Advocates’ and assess if the change is actually benefiting them.
~ Rebels: They tend to resist change blindly, even if the change is to their benefit.

“Nothing negatively impacts organisation performance quicker than employees who resist change and who believe that the way they work today is the way they will work tomorrow” ~ Peter F Gallagher

A critical component for any IT leader when introducing new information technology is getting organisation change adoption, ROI and that competitive edge defined in the strategy. The implementation of the new technology could be the core differentiator in a competitive market and the application of change management is the proven game changer in making this possible. Change management will support the organisation, its employee and leaders to move from the current state ‘a’ to the improved state ‘B’. It can enable and enhance implementation of the new ways of working, behaviour and adoption of the change. The assessment of previous change history can greatly provide insights on how to drive future organisational change, deliver benefits and sustainable change.

Organisation Building Internal Change Capability

Date : January 28, 2021

Organisational change management, transformations and improvements have become permanent features of the business landscape. Until recently, an organisational leader or manager could just focus on normal day-to-day operations, handing off change management and implementation responsibilities to other people.

Corporate thinking about change management has evolved in recent years and it is considered as a core competence by some leading organisations. Varying degrees of change capability, low employee adoption, lack of sustainability and low benefits realisation have become the drivers to develop corporate change capability. There is now a recognition that delivering each change programme or project using the same change methodology and approach is less confusing and more effective for the organisation. An even more effective and efficient way is to have a single approach to change using a corporate change management framework, models, processes, tools and techniques.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Reflect, Improve, and Change Everything

September 22, 2023

Melinda Rose Hathaway

Happy Friday!

On this day, September 22, we celebrate Rose Day - Welfare of Cancer Patients. This special day carries powerful symbolism in representing compassion, hope, and solidarity for those impacted by cancer. Dedicated to individuals suffering from cancer across the globe, the day is observed in remembrance of 12-year-old cancer patient Melinda Rose Hathaway from Canada, who died from the disease. The rose has long been associated with love and positivity. On Rose Day, it becomes an uplifting emblem, demonstrating support and commitment to honour those courageously battling cancer. The simple yet meaningful act of gifting roses helps create community, reduce stigma, and remind patients they are not alone in their journey.

According to Melinda Rose’s parents, she often used the words, “Life is so much better when you concentrate on the things that you can do and on the things that you do have, instead of sulking and worrying about the things that you can’t do or that you can’t have.” Melinda Rose was twelve years old when she was diagnosed with Askin’s tumour, which is a rare form of blood cancer on February 14, 1994. The doctors said her chance of survival for anything more than one or two weeks was remote. However, she fought on until September 15th, 1996, when the cancer finally overwhelmed her. During this period, she devoted her existence to spreading joy and optimism among the cancer patients in her vicinity and insisted on going to school when able. Despite her tender age of 12, her change leadership, unwavering bravery, and determination served as an inspiring beacon for fellow individuals battling cancer. Improve and Change Everything.

“Reflect, improve, and change everything. Go through life never judging, never criticising and when a friend asks you for help, you ask how. Live with purpose.”

As we reflect on this important day, we are reminded of the profound impact that cancer has on individuals and their loved ones. Cancer, often labelled as the formidable ‘C’, is now being viewed differently by experts due to the advancements in treatments that have significantly improved recovery rates and the overall quality of life for patients. Media coverage of cancer plays a crucial role in shaping public perceptions and raising awareness about the disease. However, it is important to strike a balance between destigmatizing and desensitising the general public to cancer-related issues while also offering solace, hope, and potentially valuable advice to patients and survivors. As some types of cancer evolve into chronic, lifelong conditions, it is crucial for us to fundamentally change our perception of the disease and survivorship.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, tell them you love them, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Change Leaders Must Notice Anomalies
Thinkers360
September 15, 2023

Alexander Fleming - Penicillin

Happy Friday!

On this day, September 15, 1928, Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin while studying influenza. Fleming observed that a mold called Penicillium notatum had antibiotic properties that stopped the growth of staphylococcus bacteria. His accidental observation ignited widespread curiosity, while his open-minded experimentation paved the way for a life-saving antibiotic treatment. Further investigations into the properties and potential applications of this newfound substance revealed its extraordinary capacity to combat bacterial infections. The scientific community did not immediately recognise the potential of penicillin and it was not mass produced until the 1940s. Turning penicillin into a practical drug required systemic analysis, effort, and perseverance from Fleming and his collaborators. It is impossible to know how many lives have been saved by penicillin, but it is estimated that penicillin saved eighty to two hundred million lives.

Alexander Fleming told us, “It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject; the details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to enterprise, thought, and perception of an individual.”  Fleming highlighted that transformative discoveries often originate from individual insights. However, realising their full potential requires systematic, collaborative efforts. Like turning penicillin from scientific discovery into a life-saving drug, today’s complex organisational challenges necessitate cross-disciplinary data analysis and teamwork to translate ideas into solutions. As change leaders, we must foster a culture that values data, learning, and perseverance to drive breakthrough innovations through collective efforts. Change Leaders Must Notice Anomalies.

“Change leaders, collectively analyse data to gain valuable insights, learn from failures, and persevere in order to achieve collaborative breakthroughs”

A sign of change leadership insanity is not using data from previous change initiatives, repeating the same failed implementation approach, and expecting change success. In reality, what has happened is another missed opportunity, wasted time and resources that could have been put to better use, and no sustainable change or return on investment. The change history assessment© (CHA©) can be used to assess and review the outcomes of earlier change programmes and initiatives. It provides organisational insights that may increase the likelihood of successful implementation through the analysis of lessons learned, mitigation of previous weaknesses, and enhancement of future success.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Leaders Should Pursue Change Excellence
Thinkers360
September 08, 2023

Happy Friday!

On this day, September 8, 1504, Michelangelo’s masterpiece, David, was unveiled in the magnificent Piazza della Signoria in the heart of Florence. Even after 500 years, the statue’s form and symbolism continue to inspire viewers worldwide, solidifying its place among the most revered timeless masterpieces and replicated artworks. The immaculate creation, a five-metre and seventeen-cm marble sculpture, transcends mere stone and chisel; it embodies the essence of human potential, resilience, and the pursuit of excellence. David’s intricate details, from the rippling muscles to the intense gaze, capture the essence of human anatomy. Michelangelo’s unmatched skill and mastery of his craft are showcased through the sculpture’s impeccable proportions, harmonious balance, and meticulous craftsmanship. He was a painter, sculptor, architect, and poet, and he was only 26 when he began this work. Michelangelo’s David remains an enduring testament to the artist’s genius and his ability to breathe life into stone. Its impact can be felt not only in the world of art but also in the hearts and minds of those who encounter it.

Michelangelo told us, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” To Michelangelo, the pursuit of excellence was not a trivial matter, and the creation of David holds a deeper meaning. Just as Michelangelo transformed a raw block of marble into a masterpiece, we can also harness our inner potential to sculpt masterpieces in our lives and organisations in the face of change. Change leaders can either aim to implement successful, sustainable organisational change or fall short and play out the change management charade. Leaders Should Pursue Change Excellence.

“Organisational change is a journey. Change leadership requires patience, continuous improvement, commitment to incremental progress, but above all, it is about aiming for excellence”

Organisational change leadership is about effectively and proactively articulating the vision, modelling the new way, and intervening to ensure sustainable change. It means not being involved in the change management charade, an absurd pretence intended to create a pleasant or respectable appearance of change. Leaders cannot continue to focus on normal day-to-day operations devoid of executing their change leadership responsibilities. It is not a one-time event but rather a process that requires time, effort, and adaptability. Change leadership requires patience, continuous improvement, commitment to incremental progress, but above all, it is about aiming for excellence.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Korean Airlines Flight 007 - Confirmation Bias

Happy Friday!

On this day, September 1, 1983, Korean Airlines (KAL) flight 007 jetliner strayed into Soviet airspace, was intercepted, and shot down by Soviet jet fighters, killing 269 passengers and crew members. The majority of those who perished were of Korean and American descent. President Ronald Reagan called the incident a “massacre,” and it further degraded U.S.-Soviet relations. After refuelling at Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, the B747 departed for Seoul, but was an estimated 100 miles from its scheduled path and entered Soviet airspace. If the Soviets’ had applied the international standards for intercepting a passenger airline, their attempts to identify the aircraft were grossly inadequate. However, the crew failed to comply with all the rules and procedures for the performance of the fight prescribed by the airline’s instructions, including those in the event of possible abnormalities in the operation of the equipment. The pilots were either unaware that they were on autopilot or didn’t programme the route in the flight plan, which included ten different waypoints. Either way, their flight path breached Soviet airspace at least twice. They also missed many other abnormalities, which would have highlighted that they were not on the designated flight path.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) said pilot error contributed to the disaster, even though they were both experienced. In the case of Flight 007, the pilots’ initial belief that they were on the correct flight path led them to dismiss or overlook numerous crucial indicators that suggested otherwise. Confirmation bias occurs when individuals seek or interpret information in a way that confirms their pre-existing beliefs or hypotheses while disregarding contradictory evidence. Confirmation bias occurs when organisational leaders focus on normal day-to-day operations without sharing quality resources with the change team and ignore slow change progress. Share Resources During Change.

“Articulating a change vision without the provision of competent resources is just a charade”

The first step for the leadership team in implementing their organisation’s change is to ‘Articulate the change vision’. An enabler of realising the change vision will be resourcing the change with competent staff. The leadership team cannot think of articulating a change vision without the provision of competent resources, and to do so would be an illusion. Managed change must consider where the change resources are going to come from while normal day-to-day operations continue.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Dare We Challenge the Change Charade?
Thinkers360
August 25, 2023

Galileo Galilei

Happy Friday!

On this day, August 25, 1609, Galileo Galilei demonstrated his first telescope to Venetian lawmakers, which laid the foundation for today’s modern space probes and telescopes. Galileo’s discoveries about the Moon, Jupiter’s moons, Venus, and sunspots supported the idea that the Sun, not the Earth, was the centre of the universe. His defiance of the conventional celestial model proposed by Aristotle was a pivotal moment in the history of science and human intellectual progress. Aristotle’s geocentric model, which positioned the Earth at the centre of the universe with celestial bodies moving in perfect circular orbits around it, was deeply ingrained in the philosophical and religious beliefs of the time. Galileo’s empirical observations and experimentation not only shattered the hegemony of ancient thought but also ignited a revolution in scientific thinking. Galileo’s approach marked a departure from relying solely on ancient authorities and what we now recognise as the scientific method. Instead, he championed the idea of using empirical evidence to test hypotheses and theories.

Galileo Galilei told us, “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” His intellectual audacity speaks to the essence of change leadership being unafraid to question the status quo, challenge prevailing assumptions, and pave the way for new perspectives. Galileo’s insistence on empirical evidence over convention exemplifies his willingness to challenge prevailing norms, a quality essential for effective change leadership. As we navigate the complexities of organisational change, let us draw inspiration from Galileo’s legacy, remembering that by challenging existing norms, we can uncover the truths that lead to progress. We must challenge the hegemony of current popular organisational change management implementation approaches. Dare We Challenge the Change Charade?

“Leaders continue the organisational change management charade when all empirical evidence indicates continued failure”

The leadership team’s role in organisational change management is pivotal, as they set the tone and direction for the entire change process. Their ability to develop change leadership skills and effectively lead change initiatives can determine the success or failure of those initiatives. To avoid these pitfalls, it’s essential for the leadership team to invest in developing change leadership skills and knowledge. This includes learning a suitable change management framework to implement organisational change and their three change leadership responsibilities that must be executed effectively and proactively. With strong change leadership capability, the organisation can implement accelerated change, embrace and leverage technology, and continue to deliver revenue to shareholders. Successful change will ensure an ROI, employee change adoption, and it will be sustainable. More importantly, your organisation will not only survive, but it will stay ahead of the competition.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Leaders Treat Everyone as an Equal

James Meredith

Happy Friday!

On this day, August 18, 1963, James Meredith became the first African American to graduate from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Political Science. His repeated applications were denied solely on the basis of his race. State officials initially refused a U.S. Supreme Court order to integrate the school and blocked Meredith’s entrance. However, Meredith, an Air Force veteran, was admitted to the university under the protection of federal marshals following large campus riots that left two people dead. His graduation shattered barriers that had long denied black individuals access to higher education, symbolising a pivotal moment in the ongoing fight against racial segregation and discrimination. Meredith’s determination and courage in the face of violent opposition paved the way for greater inclusivity and diversity within academia.

James Meredith told us, “My answer to the racial problem in America is to not deal with it at all. The founding fathers dealt with it when they made the Constitution.” Previously, on September 30, 1962, Meredith attempted to enrol at the University of Mississippi, but his presence sparked protests and riots among white supremacists and segregationists. U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy intervened and called in federal protection so that Meredith could register for class protected by a convoy of Federal Marshals. While he got settled in one of the school dorms, more than 2,500 angry students and outside agitators gathered around the main campus building. Later that night, John F. Kennedy went on national television to announce what had been achieved. He told the nation, “If this country should ever reach the point where any man or group of men by force or threat of force could long defy the commands of our court and our Constitution, then no law would stand free from doubt, no judge would be sure of his writ, and no citizen would be safe from his neighbors.” Leaders Treat Everyone as an Equal.

“Change leaders treat everyone as equals; there can be no exceptions, special circumstances, or convenient oversight”

The third responsibility for the leadership team in fully implementing their organisation’s change is ‘INTERVENE to ensure sustainable change’. Once the leader’s change vision has been implemented, it is about making it sustainable and normal day-to-day operations. It is important that the leadership team effectively and proactively intervene to reinforce the change.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Leaders Should Prioritise Self-Care
Thinkers360
August 11, 2023

Robin Williams

Happy Friday!

On this day, August 11, 2014, the world mourned the loss of an exceptional talent and beloved entertainer, Robin Williams, who passed away in his home in Tiburon, California, USA. He left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment, and we lost an incredible genius. Williams, who was known for his unparalleled comedic genius and heart-touching performances, he had the ability to transform himself into a multitude of characters, each requiring a shift in mindset, behaviour, and approach. His ability to evoke laughter and evoke tears epitomised the power of his emotional intelligence and authenticity. However, beyond the laughter and applause, Williams had many struggles with drugs, drink, and depression, which he sometimes talked about. He was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in May 2013, and an autopsy revealed that Williams had diffuse Lewy body dementia (LBD). LBD is a disease associated with abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha-synuclein in the brain. These deposits, called Lewy bodies, affect chemicals in the brain whose changes can lead to problems with thinking, movement, behaviour, and mood. This may have contributed to Williams’ depression and suicide.

Robin Williams told us, “All it takes is a beautiful fake smile to hide an injured soul and they will never notice how broken you really are.” A man who made us forget our troubles for a short time when he was on the comedy stage, acting or being interviewed, was hiding his own demons, depressions, and internal sadness. The phrase “beautiful fake smile” encapsulates the poignant notion that appearances can be deceiving. It’s a call to action to pay attention to the people around us, to listen, and offer support without assumptions. In an era where vulnerability is championed, his story underscores the necessity of creating work environments where employees can openly discuss mental health challenges without fear of stigma. Leaders Should Prioritise Self-Care.

“Leaders should prioritise their own mindfulness, creating a culture of well-being in their organisation to ensure they can effectively lead and support their teams”

Organisational change leadership is about effectively and proactively articulating the vision, modelling the new way, and intervening to ensure sustainable change. However, these pivotal responsibilities can only be accomplished by leaders who place a premium on their own mindfulness and prioritise their own self-care. There is now an escalating acknowledgment of the significance of people’s health and state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. As organisational change and transformation invariably introduce heightened stress, the employee’s health has never been so important.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Anne Frank’s Diaries

Happy Friday!

On this day, August 4, 1944, Anne Frank was arrested with her family in the “secret annex” of a house in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where they had hidden for two years. Aged 13, German-born Dutch Jewish national Anne Frank and her family went into hiding in Amsterdam on Monday, July 6, 1942, to escape persecution under Nazi occupation. During their time in hiding, Anne Frank kept a diary, which later became famous as “The Diary of a Young Girl.” The diary provided a poignant account of her experiences and thoughts while living in confinement. Tragically, after their arrest, they were deported to concentration camps. In March 1945, a typhus epidemic spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and killed approximately 17,000 prisoners. Anne is thought to have died a few days later, aged 15. The camp was liberated weeks later, in mid-April, by British troops. Anne Frank’s diary remains a significant historical document and a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of tolerance and understanding.

Anne Frank’s diary illustrates how leadership qualities can emerge even in the most challenging of circumstances. She wrote, “I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty too shall end, that peace and tranquillity will return once more.” Anne Frank’s diaries transcend time, imparting invaluable leadership lessons. They illuminate the path of resilience and courage in the face of adversity. In this era of profound change and revolutionary technological advancements, organisations and their leaders inevitably confront a multitude of adversities. Navigating these challenges demands a high degree of resilience from change leaders, essential for not only survival but also sustainable success. Change Success Encompasses Adversity and Resilience.

“Implementing organisational change is a complex journey filled with adversity and demands unwavering leadership resilience to achieve success”

When undergoing organisational change, numerous challenges and barriers arise that can impede successful implementation. Some specific challenges throughout the change process include:

  • Too Many Change Initiatives: Not enough capacity to deliver ongoing and new change programmes.
  • Inactive or Invisible Sponsorship: Lack of visible support usually leads to change failure.
  • Poor Previous Change History: This increases the likelihood of repeating past mistakes.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Cosmopolitans Respect Difference During Change

July 28, 2023

2005 End to the Irish Armed Campaign

Happy Friday!

On this day, July 28th, 2005, the IRA declared an end to armed struggle, stating it would pursue its objectives exclusively by peaceful means. The statement was a significant milestone in the Northern Ireland peace process and ended over three decades of conflict known as “The Troubles”. It is estimated that over 3,500 people were killed in the conflict, which included civilians, British and Irish security forces, and members of paramilitary groups. The 2005 “Statement on the Ending of the Armed Campaign” marked a crucial step towards ending the violence and moving towards a more peaceful resolution. The decision to abandon armed struggle came after many years of negotiations and efforts by various parties to bring about a peaceful settlement to the conflict.

Prior to the IRA announcement, many people were involved, for many years, in the peace negotiation process. This list included political and paramilitary leaders, prisoners, Northern Ireland Secretaries, Prime Ministers, Taoiseachs, a US Senator, and US Presidents. However, one man was instrumental in preparing the ground for the 2005 cessation, including the 1994 ceasefire and the 1998 Belfast Agreement, John Hume. Hume was a prominent Northern Irish politician and a vocal advocate for non-violence. He told us, “Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth, and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace: respect for diversity.” His approach to change focused on dialogue, inclusivity, and reaching out to all parties involved in the conflict. He believed that a lasting resolution could only be achieved through political negotiations and diplomacy, rather than through violence and armed struggle. While implementing organisational change, we could be more successful with increased dialogue, inclusivity, and engaging resistant stakeholders. Cosmopolitans Respect Difference During Change.

“Are we not all cosmopolitan? What we are born into is an accident of birth, respect for difference, growth and learning is who we are”

As leaders of change, we will sometimes encounter challenging stakeholders who have opposing views and will resist change. Recognising and respecting the identities, aspirations, and grievances of these stakeholders is part of organisational change implementation. Being a benevolent leader helps with this process by showing empathy, humility, and respect to all stakeholders.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Change Starts With Audacious Goals

July 25, 2023

Apollo 11 Moon Landing

Happy Friday!

On this day, July 21st, 1969, at 02:56 UTC, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon’s surface. The Apollo Lunar Module Eagle landed six hours and 39 minutes earlier and was also carrying Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. An estimated 650 million people watched Armstrong’s televised image as history unfolded. Armstrong's first step onto the Moon’s surface was not just a scientific milestone; it was a testament to the human spirit’s boundless potential. From the visionary leadership at NASA to the dedication of countless engineers, scientists, and astronauts, this achievement symbolizes the heights that humanity can reach when we unite in pursuit of a common goal. It was the culmination of years of meticulous planning, countless hours of hard work, and unwavering belief in the pursuit of the seemingly impossible. The moon landing stands as a symbol of what can be accomplished when audacious goals are set.

Armstrong’s words, “One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,” are etched in humanity’s collective memory forever more. This was the realisation of an audacious goal set by President John F. Kennedy when he boldly proclaimed in 1961 that the United States would send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the end of the decade. With the business landscape constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, and global challenges, organisations and their leaders will have to set audacious change goals over the next decade if they are to be successful or even survive. Leaders of organisations that are not effective and proactive change leaders risk becoming stagnant and outdated. It starts with an audacious change goal but includes a plethora of other integrated delivery enablers. Change Starts With Audacious Goals.

“Behind great change and achievement, you will find proactivity, determination, inspiration, motivation, audacious goals, tenacity, continuous learning, effective project management, communication clarity, collaboration, and teamwork”

Time has run out for organisational leaders who focus on normal day-to-day operations, handing off change management and implementation responsibilities to available employees or consultants. Leading practice organisational change leadership skills and knowledge are significant differentiators for organisations, enabling them to stay ahead of the competition and thrive, not merely survive. Organisational change capability is not a tick-box function or department. Additionally, organisational change cannot be delivered in isolated sticky note workshops. It is imperative that organisations understand that change capability needs to go beyond touchy-feely skills, it involves strategy execution by delivering complex, innovative programmes and projects. It means understanding that leaders of change work in a toxic working environment with narcissistic, powerful leaders who are aggressively averse to change because they have much to lose.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Change Leaders Embody Ethics
Thinkers360
July 14, 2023

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Happy Friday!

On this day, July 14th, 2008, the US Treasury and Federal Reserve unveiled sweeping steps to possibly bail out the nation’s two largest mortgage lenders, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said that the government would inject billions of federal dollars into the mortgage groups and pledged to buy stakes in the two companies should market conditions worsen. Both companies’ shares had been under increasing pressure and had lost as much as 80% of their value in the previous 12 months. Fannie and Freddie are government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) that play a significant role in the mortgage market in the United States. Historically, they have been subject to various regulations imposed by the government. One such regulation was the restriction on the purchase of high-risk mortgages, but in the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, there was a significant expansion of risky lending practises in the mortgage industry, including the widespread issuance of subprime mortgages, which Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac participated in.

Early in April 2007, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson stated that “I don't see subprime mortgage market troubles imposing a serious problem. I think it's going to be largely contained.” The 2008 financial crisis that led to the bailout was fuelled by a combination of factors such as subprime mortgage lending, lax regulatory oversight, weak leadership, and flawed risk management practices. Financial institutions and banks were driven by greed as they pursued risky financial practices and engaged in unethical behaviour to maximise their profits. They took advantage of lax regulations and engaged in predatory lending practices, offering subprime mortgages to individuals who were unlikely to be able to repay them. These institutions then packaged these high-risk mortgages into complex financial products and sold them to investors, further fuelling the crisis. Change Leaders Embody Ethics.

“Ethics are a timeless behaviour that all change leaders model”

The change leaders’ second responsibility is to model the new way, especially the new skills and behaviours. They must uphold high standards, even when their peers have different or lower ones. It can be tempting to neglect ethical conduct when no one is watching, succumbing to self-indulgence or greed. Modelling the new way is the one key task leaders of change do not need props for, nor should they delegate this to others.

Roswell Incident

Happy Friday!

On this day, July 7th, 1947, Roswell Army Airfield Major Jesse Marcel collected debris from W.W. “Mac” Brazel’s ranch after he contacted the sheriff in Roswell to report the incident. The next day, a press release from the Roswell Army Airfield (RAAF) stated that they had recovered a “flying disc” from a ranch near Roswell. This announcement quickly grabbed public attention and sparked widespread speculation that the object might be an extraterrestrial spacecraft. However, the RAAF quickly changed their statement, claiming that the recovered object was actually a weather balloon, specifically a “Rawin” target device used for atmospheric research. This sudden reversal led to various conspiracy theories suggesting a government cover-up of a crashed alien spacecraft and the recovery of extraterrestrial bodies. Over the years, the Roswell incident has been the subject of intense debate, with believers arguing that the initial press release was true.

In a speech by President Clinton, at City Hall, Belfast, on November 30th, 1995, he told the crowd, “I got a letter from 13-year-old Ryan from Belfast. Now, Ryan, if you’re out in the crowd tonight, here’s the answer to your question. No, as far as I know, an alien spacecraft did not crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. And, Ryan, if the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn't tell me about it either, and I want to know.” The speech did not quell the debate or government mistrust, nor did it offer transparency. When leaders are transparent, they share information freely, involve others in decision-making processes, and provide clear explanations for their actions. This approach fosters trust, promotes accountability, and allows stakeholders to have a better understanding of the leader’s intentions and the overall direction of the organisation.Transparency Is Your Leadership Judge.

“Transparency is essential to your integrity as a change leader. Without this fundamental foundation, mistrust, misunderstanding, and inevitable failure follow”

During organisational change implementation, everyone should know that the success of the change is paramount, and all employees should be aligned on this important organisational objective. To create trust between all employees, there should be transparency in information, decisions, and relationships. The sponsor’s goal should be to create a “one team mindset” mentality that overrides departmental allegiances, ensuring resources are shared. Creating a sense of community, camaraderie, being part of a family, and a feeling of pride from working on an important change programme are great ingredients for delivering successful organisational change.

Albert Einstein

Happy Friday!

On this day, June 30th, 1905, Albert Einstein submitted his paper titled “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper” (On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies) to the Annalen der Physik, a renowned scientific journal at the time. He was 26 and was working as a class 3 clerk at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. His theory of special relativity is one of the most important papers ever published in the field of physics. He determined that the laws of physics are identical for all non-accelerating observers, and that the speed of light in a vacuum is independent of the motion of all observers. Einstein’s special theory of relativity introduced a new framework for all of physics and proposed an interweaving of space and time into spacetime. A building block of his theory is that of mass-energy equivalence, defined by the most famous equation in physics, E=mc^2. Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and his contributions to modern science are immeasurable.

Albert Einstein is supposed to have told us, “The leader is one who, out of the clutter, brings simplicity. Out of discord, harmony and, out of difficulty, opportunity.” Whether the quote is true or not, this is the way he worked, and the choices leaders now face. In the intricacies of today’s world, leaders are confronted with the task of manoeuvring through the clutter to simplifythe conflicting laws, regulations, and environmental factors. Leaders also have to work through the discord of societal norms to find harmony and be able to express their genuine beliefs, opinions, or values without fear of being cancelled. Additionally, in this era of tremendous change and revolutionary technological advancements, business leaders need to find opportunities and conquer change. Simplify, Engage and Conquer Change.

“Continuous improvement, engaged people, and change leadership capabilities are the key ingredients for a successful organisation”

Large organisations will be continuously pursuing high-priority strategic change initiatives. The increasing pace, complexity, and unpredictability of change means that being able to implement change effectively and efficiently will determine an organisation’s future competitiveness. Organisations will have to become change capable and develop leaders with change skills and knowledge, and those with superior internal change capability will stay ahead in the marketplace. Organisational change leadership is about effectively and proactively articulating the vision, modelling the new way, and intervening to ensure sustainable change.

Antarctic Treaty System

Happy Friday!

On this day, June 23rd, 1961, the Antarctic Treaty System came into force to regulate international relations regarding Antarctica, “all land and ice shelves south of 60°S latitude parallel.” Antarctica is the Earth’s only continent without a native human population. The Antarctic Treaty consists of a number of articles agreed upon by the twelve original signatories: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Chile, France, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, the USSR, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The treaty preamble starts with “recognising that it is in the interest of all mankind that Antarctica shall continue for ever to be used exclusively for peaceful purposes and shall not become the scene or object of international discord.” The key to the treaty was the nations’ agreement to disagree on territorial claims. This agreement has been successful in preventing any military activity on the continent and has allowed for scientific research to be conducted in a peaceful environment.

The Antarctic Treaty System was the result of collaboration among twelve countries with territorial claims or scientific interests in Antarctica. It highlights the importance of collaborative leadership, where multiple parties work together towards a common goal. Effective leaders understand the value of cooperation, encourage dialogue, and foster an inclusive decision-making process. Charles Darwin told us, “It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) that those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.” Similarly, organisations with high levels of collaboration tend to be more successful. When implementing change, it is of paramount importance. Successful Organisations Collaborate.

“Change leaders must infuse collaboration across the organisation, by clearly articulating their change vision, eradicating silos and other implementation barriers”

Collaboration is the primary factor contributing to highly successful organisations with good productivity and teamwork. Collaboration takes place in the workplace when leaders and employees work together to solve problems across different functions, departments, and management levels. It involves sharing resources and expertise; it means supporting fellow employees and working effectively and efficiently to deliver the organisation’s goals and objectives. There is only one organisation, and there are no silos. No individual’s ego or personal goals are more important than those of the organisation. Progressive organisations are increasingly realising the value of collaboration in both the physical and virtual workplaces. Collaborative organisations also tend to have lower staff turnover levels and higher profitability than businesses that don’t collaborate or those that have a silo mentality.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Human Nature’s Change Challenge
Thinkers360
June 16, 2023

Abraham Lincoln

Happy Friday!

On this day, June 16th, 1858, newly nominated senatorial candidate Abraham Lincoln addressed the Illinois Republican Convention in Springfield and warned that the nation faced a crisis that could destroy the Union. Speaking to more than 1,000 delegates in an ominous tone, Lincoln paraphrased a passage from the New Testament: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Lincoln’s speech, now commonly known as the “House Divided” speech, highlighted the growing tensions between the Northern and Southern states over the issue of slavery. He argued that the nation could not continue to be half-slave and half-free, suggesting that the United States would ultimately become either entirely slave or entirely free. This speech is considered to be one of Lincoln’s most significant and prophetic addresses. It helped solidify his reputation as a prominent figure in the Republican Party and set the stage for his subsequent presidential campaign. In 1860, just two years after delivering the “House Divided” speech, Lincoln was elected as the 16th President of the United States.   

Abraham Lincoln famously told us, “Human nature will not change.” This quote has been referenced in various settings, including speeches, articles, and historical accounts. The quote serves to remind us that, despite advancements in technology and changes in societal norms, human behaviour and motivations have remain largely consistent throughout history. Overcoming our negative tendencies, such as hate, prejudice, and selfishness, is the key to creating a better world. The challenge lies in recognising our flaws, acknowledging them, and working to overcome them in pursuit of a brighter future in our personal, social, and work lives. Human Nature’s Change Challenge.

“If it is difficult to change the behaviour of people so they are healthier and live longer, how difficult will it be to change employee workplace behaviour”

Human behaviour is the most underrated element in workplace, social, and environmental change. Behaviour change is sometimes required for an organisation to successfully deliver change or transformation to achieve sustainable change and benefit realisation. To change behaviours, the organisation must support employees through the change transition by implementing five key change behaviour life cycle steps: Recognise, Redesign, Resolve, Replicate and Reinforce using the a2B5R® Employee Behaviour Change Model.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Benevolent Leaders Compromise
Thinkers360
June 09, 2023

Margaret Thatcher

Happy Friday!

On this day, June 9th, 1983, Margaret Thatcher's British Conservative Party won a landslide second-term election victory, taking 397 seats to Labour's 209. Thatcher's success was fuelled by her resolute leadership during the Falkland Islands War and the disunity within the opposition party. Notably, she etched her name in history as the first female Prime Minister of Britain. Throughout her tenure, she introduced and implemented economic policies that later became known as Thatcherism. Her unwavering stance and unyielding politics earned her the moniker “Iron Lady,” a title that resonated with her firm resolve and unwavering leadership style. While Thatcher implemented significant economic reforms that aimed to modernise the British economy, some argue that she could have done more to address the social impacts of these changes. The negative consequences felt by certain industries and regions created discontent and eroded support, leading to challenges to her leadership.

Thatcher possessed exceptional communication skills and charisma, which enabled her to effectively articulate her vision and connect with the public. She used powerful rhetoric and memorable phrases to engage, influence, and inspire people. Her leadership style was characterised by her strong determination, assertiveness, and uncompromising approach to politics. She told us. “To those waiting with bated breath for that favourite media catchphrase, the U-turn, I have only one thing to say: You turn if you want to. The lady’s not for turning.” However, her policies and governing style were also highly divisive, and she faced significant opposition from political opponents and protesters during her time in office. Typically, business leaders implementing change cannot alienate their stakeholders. Benevolent Leaders Compromise.

“One of the most difficult tasks of change leaders is delivering their vision for change and showing benevolence to those who disagree or resist”

Benevolent leaders are committed to making their organisations better, and this trait complements change leadership. They are approachable and accessible but are neither wimps nor pushovers. Benevolent leaders are servant leaders, they put the needs of their employees first. Benevolence includes empathy, humility, and respectful leadership.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - Leadership Integrity Is Not a Fashion
Thinkers360
June 02, 2023

Sepp Blatter and FIFA

Happy Friday!

On this day, June 2nd, 2015, Sepp Blatter, president of international soccer’s governing body FIFA, steps down, just a few days after he had been re-elected to a fifth four-year term. His resignation came amidst mounting allegations of fraud and corruption, which have tarnished his 17-year tenure. The week leading up to Blatter's resignation marked a turning point for FIFA. The U.S. Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, announced a wide-ranging investigation into the organisation, revealing decades of bribery totalling over $150 million. The investigation led to the indictment of 14 individuals, including nine current or former FIFA executives, on federal racketeering charges. In a dramatic turn of events, seven individuals were arrested near FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, sending shockwaves throughout the soccer world. Blatter was cleared of fraud by a Swiss court, but he has been banned from participating in FIFA activities since 2015 and will remain banned until 2027.

Sepp Blatter insists he is not to blame for FIFA’s corruption scandal because he could not possibly monitor the actions of everyone working under him. When faced with calls to resign, Blatter defended himself. “I know many people hold me ultimately responsible for the actions and reputation of the global football community, whether it’s a decision for the hosting of the World Cup, or a corruption scandal [but] I cannot monitor everyone all of the time.” It is strange how so many people who are the ultimate leaders of their organisation do not take the blame for things that go wrong on their watch. Leadership Integrity Is Not a Fashion.

“Leadership Integrity Is Not a Fashion. Strong corporate governance ensures transparency, accountability, compliance, it encourages ethical behaviour, so the leaders model the organisation’s purpose, vision, mission, and values globally”

During times of organisational change, the significance of good governance, accountability, and oversight cannot be overstated. These elements play a crucial role in ensuring the successful implementation of change initiatives. Governance, in particular, encompasses the systems and methods that dictate how a change programme is authorised, monitored, and supported by its sponsoring organisation. It establishes the framework for effective management and consistent execution of change programmes throughout their life cycle.

Have a fantastic weekend with the ones you love and care for, enjoy some fresh air, exercise, eat, drink and be happy.

Friday’s Change Reflection Quote - Leadership of Change - AI Brings Impossible Change

May 26, 2023

Henry Ford

Happy Friday!

On this day, May 26th, 1927, the Ford Motor Company produced the last and 15th million Model T Ford. Henry Ford, the founder of the famous American car company, revolutionised the automobile industry with the Model T. He was determined to build a car that was affordable for the average American. Before the Model T, cars were considered luxury items that only the wealthy could afford. He was committed to creating a simple, reliable, and affordable automobile that was accessible to the masses. In 1908, his vision was realized with the Model T. At the time, the Model T was revolutionary because it was affordable and easy to maintain. It was also one of the first cars to feature a gasoline-powered engine instead of steam, making it more reliable and easier to drive.

Today, we stand at the dawn of a new era of transportation, with electric vehicles, autonomous driving, and sustainable mobility on the horizon. Henry Ford told us, “I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say what is and what is definitely not possible.” AI has and will continue to have a significant impact on improving transportation. Ford would likely be impressed by the potential of this technology to make transportation safer, more efficient, and more accessible. He would possibly also be intrigued by the possibilities of smart traffic management systems that use real-time data to optimise traffic flow, reducing congestion and energy consumption.
