By the end of the day you will be able to
  • Identify the rationale for organisational change
  • apply change techniques
  • define resistance to change and analyse sources
    of resistance
  • identify measures for overcoming resistance
  • discuss sustaining commitment to change.

  • Pressures for
  • Resistors/Drivers

Change . . .
  • to make or become different, alter
  • to replace or exchange
  • to transform or convert
  • Innovate
  • Variety or novelty

5
In the 21st century, for organisations and
individuals alike, . . .
If it aint broke, dont fix it
there is only one certainty nothing is certain
let sleeping dogs lie
and only one constant - change
You cant teach an old dog new tricks
Out of the frying pan into the fire

If contentment is what you are looking for, you
should have been a dog. Rupert Murdoch.

Types of Change
  • Fundamental
  • broad
  • core
  • Incremental
  • limited
  • localised
  • Proactive
  • anticipated
  • Reactive
  • unanticipated

Planned
Unplanned
8
Reactive Change
Resistance to change. Degree of acceptance/
commitment unpredictable.
Unplanned Change
Reactive and unpredictable behaviour
Anxiety, uncertainty
9
Proactive Change
Less resistance to change. Degree of
acceptance/ commitment more predictable Anxieties
surfaced early.
Planned Change
Less anxiety More certainty
Proactive and predictable behaviour
10
The Nature of Organisational Change
  • Change is a process that is rarely contained
    within functional, or specialist, boundaries.

11
Stakeholder Model(Doyle, P. 1998. Marketing,
Management and Strategy, p12. Prentice-Hall).
Regular payments Loyal business
Taxes Employment
Job satisfaction Compensation Job security
Power Status Compensation
Quality Service Value
Dividends Capital growth Safe investment
12
ACTIVITY
  • Create a stakeholder model to represent
  • those involved in your organisation
  • their expectations and requirements

13
The common factor is that when something
changes, whether or not it has been planned or
decided by organisational members, it will have
repercussive effects which will be variously
welcomed, discarded or ignored by people within
and outside the organisation. Their reactions
will in turn affect other things.
Dawson, S. 1992. Analysing Organisations
(Notes). p209.

The Nature of Organisational Change
  • Change is a process that is rarely contained
    within functional, or specialist, boundaries
  • Change in one part of an organisation
    invariably affects people and processes

    in other parts.

The Nature of Organisational Change
  • Change is a process that is rarely contained
    within functional, or specialist, boundaries
  • Change in one part of an organisation invariably
    affects people and processes in other parts
  • Organisational change can influence, and
    be influenced by, several important features
    of organisational life.

PESTLEM
23
The PESTLEM model helps you to-
  • identify significant pressures for change that
    has occurred in the past
  • think about new opportunities and the conditions
    under which your unit or organisation will be
    operating in a few years time
  • construct a long-term forecast for your
    organisation, department or self.

24

PESTLEM Analysis
25
  • There is nothing more difficult to plan, more
    doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage
    than the creation of a new system,
  • for the initiator has the enmity of all who
    would profit by the preservation of the old
    institutions, and merely lukewarm defenders in
    those who gain by the new ones.

Approaches to overcoming resistance to
change(Kotter, J P and Schlesinger, L. A. 1979.
Choosing strategies for change, Harvard
Business Review, March/April, pp. 106-114.)
  • Educative
  • Facilitative
  • Participative
  • Persuasive
  • Manipulative
  • Coercive.

Change is a process
Desired State
Present State
Transition State
Unfreezing (Pain)
Refreezing (Remedy)
33
Some characteristics of the Transition State
Low stability High emotional stress High, often
undirected energy Control becomes a major
issue Past patterns of behaviour become highly
valued Conflict increases.
34
Essential elements in the Change
Process(Kanter, R. M. 1984. The Change
Masters Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the
American Corporation, London, Allen Unwin)
  • Conceive - have a clear view of what the
    change is that you are trying to bring
    about
  • Construct - you must devise systems,
    mechanisms or plans that will allow this
    to happen
  • Convert old beliefs, behaviours and
    systems into new ones consistent with your
    required change.

35
Stages in the Change Process (Lewin, K. 1951.
Field Theory in Social Science. Harper and
Row, New York)
  • Unfreezing the need to change existing
    attitudes towards working practices and
    processes before the change can begin to take
    place
  • Changing the implementation stage. Its
    success will depend on the thoroughness
    of the planning and preparation in the first
    stage
  • Refreezing consolidation. The change has
    been incorporated into the working
    culture.

36
The Three Step Model (Lewin, K. 1951. Field
Theory in Social Science. Harper and Row, New
York)
Disequilibrium
UNFREEZING
Softening of procedures
Equilibrium restored by
Sticking to old ideas and behaviour
Exploring new ideas
CHANGING
Looking at alternative behaviours
Consolidation of ideas and behaviour which
return to the old equilibrium.
Consolidation of new ideas and behaviour
reaching new equilibrium.
REFREEZING
37
Integrated Four Phase Model(Bullock Batten,
1985)
Organisation becomes aware of a need for
change Begins to explore the resources needed
EXPLORATION
Information collection Identification of
goals Identification of support required

Jeanie Daniel Duck (Duck, J. D. 2001. The
Change Monster, New York, Crown Publishing)
41
Economy, efficiency, and effectiveness do not
just happen. In almost every situation changes
often uncomfortable changes involving people
doing things differently - will be
involved.. The Audit Commission 1986.
42
Change, whether in products,services, market
strategies, technological processes or work
practices, are designed and implemented not by
machines, but by people.. (Kanter, R. M.
1984. The Change Masters Innovation and
Entrepreneurship in the American Corporation,
London, Allen Unwin)

5 Phases of Change Curve (Duck, 2001)
  • Stagnation The Monster in Hibernation
  • Preparation Waking the Monster
  • Implementation- The Monster Emerges
  • Determination The Monster Roams the
    Hallways
  • Fruition The Monster is tamed.

50
5 Phases Change Curve (Duck, 2001)
  • Stagnation - the need for change is reflected
    in the organisations poor performance
  • Preparation the decision to change is made
    and the senior management team devises an
    outline of the strategy for change
  • Implementation - the plan is put into action
  • Determination the decision is made for an
    organisation to go on with the
    implementation of the change programme
  • Fruition it all pays off.

51
Coping with the Change Curve
  • To cope with the Change Monster there has to
    be in the organisation -
  • A strategy
  • Execution solid basic management
  • Heightened sensitivity awareness of emotional
    and behavioural issues.

52
For Duck . . .
  • Change is inescapably an emotional human
    process that encompasses the whole gambit of
    emotions
  • - fear, curiosity, exhaustion, loyalty,
    paranoia, depression, optimism, rage, revelation,
    delight, love........

53
According to Duck . . .
If leaders dont take into consideration the
emotional data, all the operational information
and numerical data in the world wont be enough
to turn around an organisation
54
As a manager you have a choice. The choice is
not between managing change or not managing
change but between managing change through people
or despite people. In virtually every case, the
former is more successful Rosemary Thomsom 1997.
55
ACTIVITY
  • Consider Ducks change model -
  • What are staff likely to be feeling,

    experiencing and doing at each of the five
    stages?
  • What can managers do at each stage to make the
    overall change as stress-free and successful as
    possible?
  • What impact does the stage of change have on
    communication?

56
ACTIVITY (3 groups)
Cameron High School
57
Consider the scenario from the perspective of the
Principal and the Board of Governors of the School
Group 1
  • Conduct a PESTLEM Analysis
  • on the pressures for change that have led to this
    initiative
  • on what developments are likely to impact on this
    issue over the next 5 - 10 years.

58
Consider the scenario from the perspective of the
Principal and the Board of Governors of the School
Group 2
  • Using the Seven Ss Framework anticipate the
    likely impact on the school of the implementing
    the consultants proposed changes.

59
Consider the scenario from the perspective of the
Principal and the Board of Governors of the School
Group 3
  • Using Forcefield Analysis
  • identify the key driving and resisting forces
  • specify the relative strength and difficulty to
    overcome of each
  • state what approach(es) would you propose using
    to overcome each of the resisting forces?

60
Innovation checklist(Riddle, D. 2000.

    terms of novelty/innovation and risk?
  • Is your objective to be the market leader by
    exceeding the value added of your main
    competitors?
  • Does your financial reporting system reflect
    innovation as an investment rather than a cost?

  • Scoring
  • 9 - 10 Great job!
  • 7 - 8 Strong foundation
  • 5 - 6 Some support, but could do better
  • 1 - 4 Need to develop a more proactive role
