Q

There are 4 learning styles,

A
  1. Activists: Concrete experience: have a go, move from experience to another which can result in a failure to learn
  2. Reflectors: Reflective observation: thinks about it, wont take risks to gain practical experience which can result in a failure to learn
  3. Theorists: Abstract Conceptual-ism: prefer logical learning models, takes idea on board through reading/lectures, avoidance of creativity and intolerance of ambiguity can result in a failure to learn
  4. Pragmatists: Practical experimentation: test a theory, open to new techniques and coaching

Q

The key principles of learning

A
  1. things should be learned the way they will be used: grouping of KSAs (knowledge, skills & attributes) should reflect the combinations they will be applied until after the change is complete
  2. Learning should be followed immediately by its application

Q

Learning contents

A

Learning activities: must have objectives

KSAs: objectives include all skills relevant to the work

Indicators: outcome measures relate to the way the job is done in org
success standards: ss set in a competence assessment can be different from the learning objectives

Detail: must be appropriate and supplemented if applicable
Attitudinal objectives: specified through consistent patterns of behaviour

Q

William Bridges Stages of transition:

Neural zone

A

old is gone and new is not operational
physiological re-alignments and repatterining takes place.
individuals will be affected as they experience the neutral zone so they will need temporary solutions to problems raised during transition.
during n-zone people should be encouraged to connect with each other, social events can help

Q

Survival and learning anxieties

A

key to promote change is to create sufficient survival anxiety to destabilize the current situation and drive people forward.
ensure they feel safe enough, need support in order to learning effectively. This is by encouraging, training, coaching, nonjudgmental, reward and encourage experimentation.

two types of anxiety
1. learning: feeling of incompetence when learning a new skill
2. survival anxiety: need to create disconformation
disconformation: current position is not sustainable and not working anymore.
creation of guilt or anxiety: if i do not change there will be serious consequences

art of observation: engage and get the best from a plethora of people

27
Q

organisational metaphors

A

Machines: can be designed and controlled
Brains: intelligence led resemble a library and memory bank
Political systems: systems of government management the common and conflicting needs of various interest groups
Flux & transformation: chaos and complexity where heirarchy and control have limited relevance
Organisms: open systems that adapt to their environment
clutures: liken and ethnic group with shared systems of meaning and norms, shared beliefs and expectations, which bind people together

28
Q

Trumpinars and Hamption Turnor:

3 levels of organisational culture

A
  1. based on the surface and includes visible artifacts and products such as office layout and furnishings
  2. norms (shared sense of what is right and wrong, social control, company rule book and values (good/bad, shared ideals and aspirations). both are usually noticed only when violated
  3. deepest, basic assumptions and underpin organisational norms and values
29
Q

culture develops and how to identify it

A

assumptions, values and norms contribute to the success of the company. lessons about what really happens sink deeply into the unconscious of the organisation. when a change occurs it could threaten this unconscious system and suffer rejection. in order to manage change it must be sensitive to the processes and bring culture to organisational consciousness
manage key messages to support change

30
Q

Culture is shaped by three messages

A
  1. Behaviour: humility and willingness to admit mistakes produces openness and learning, asking for commitments and following up produces accountability , favoritism not based upon performance produces politics
    2, Symbols: leaders can use symbols to built culture, previous work patterns or resource allocations can be used for symbols of the future
  2. System: eg how HR system operates, customer processes and org structure

person - family: leader is a caring father and is intimate and benign
Eiffel tower - machine age, structure more important than function

33
Q

3 models of the change process

A
  1. Lewins 3 stage model: mind sets are broken down to allow for change
  2. Kotters eight step model: road map for change based upon common mistakes made by orgs
  3. Senge’s systems thinking model: profound change can be achieved through the application of learning
34
Q

Lewins 3 stage model

A
  1. unfreeze: define &. create vision of end state, identify forces that will drive and resist change
  2. change: a period of confusion, challenge and clarification
  3. refreeze: new mindsets and habits are formed and established
35
Q

Lewin: UNfreeze (1#3)

A
  1. define the current situation, do this collaboratively as it will become more effective. people will be more committed to an idea they have defined and also because the involvement of more people will make it richer and fuller
  2. create a vision of the desired end state: the more people involved the better the outcome
  3. identify forces that will drive and resist the change, increasing the driving forces identified and decreasing the resisting forces. best carried out by a team leading or affected by the change. lewins force field analysis can be used to do so
36
Q

Lewin: Change (2#3)

A
  • plan is followed to implement change
  • get people involved and maintain the safe learning environment
  • allow for experimentation over solutions to problems
  • create positive role models with whom people in change can identify
37
Q

Lewin: refreeze (3#3)

A
  • new work practices develop into new work habits
  • fresh ways of thinking become the conventional wisdom
  • change leaders must be vigilant when it comes to addressing any tendency for others to talk, think or act in line with the old ways of operating
  • reward behavious and results that are aligned with the newly changed environment
38
Q

Planning & leading change: Kotter’s 8 steps

A
  1. CREATE A SENSE OF URGENCY
    Help others see the need for change through a bold, aspirational opportunity statement that communicates the importance of acting immediately
  2. BUILD A GUIDING COALITION
    A volunteer army needs a coalition of effective people – born of its own ranks – to guide it, coordinate it, and communicate its activities.
  3. FORM A STRATEGIC VISION AND STRATEGY
    Clarify how the future will be different from the past and how you can make that future a reality through initiatives (positive outcomes) linked directly to the vision.
  4. COMMUNICATING THE CHANGE VISION
    The vision must be communicated in a clear, direct language, using verbal images and analogies. it needs to be repeated frequently through many channels, including opportunities for discussion and feedback. it must be lived out by leaders
  5. EMPOWERING EMPLOYEES FOR BROAD BASED ACTION
    willing empowered employees that can ensuring orgs systems and structures support employees action, provide training to encourage it and removing or sidelining managers who might get in the way
  6. GENERATING SHORT TERM WINS
    these boost the change initiative and minimize negativity. allows for employee recognition for promoting change.
  7. CONSOLIDATING GAINS AND PRODUCING MORE CHANGE
    sustaining and embedding change requires ongoing effort over a long period. . employ more resources to drive the change rather than reassign, encourage continued leadership and direction from the top, project and programme discipline
  8. ANCHORING NEW APPROACHES IN THE CULTURE
    culture eats strategy for breakfast and it sometimes eats change. even successful changes can be eaten by culture over the years unless the culture is realigned. old culture aspects must be identified and positive outcomes of the change identified. respect the old culture and where necessary through using changes of staff to strengthen the new culture that is needed
39
Q

Kotters dual operating system

A
  • Family tree heirachy is optimized to deliver business as usual. (can have too many managers wanting to be involved in the change
  • org that has many autonomous, self directed teams which can generate a lot of change. however changes may not be cross function compatible
  • a second strateghic operating system is needed to work alongside business as usual
  • this second system owned by a guiding coalition is designed to be agile, making use of a network structure to monitor every aspect of the organisations internal and external work
  • it identifies, initiates and implements changes, constantly reviewing and maintaining the organisations strategy and direction
40
Q

Senge’s systemic model

A
  1. shared vision
  2. mental models.

44
Q

Is an Emergent approach needed?

A

Org change change can be identified with one of two main archetypes:
1) swift and sudden (short turbulent, typically imposed change required for quick results usually driven by threats to the orgs continued success/survival
-developmental and deliberate: an extended period of patient work to build the orgs culture and capability
both can be seen but one is usually dominant

45
Q

2. list consequences of not implementing the change
3. list the outcomes that will occur once the change is implemented
4. identify the differences in the lists above, both objective and qualitative

46
Q

Leadership in emergent change

A

  • make changes the leadership group consider liklelu to shift the current equilibirum, ehancing some positive feedback loops and mitigating some negative ones
  • maintain a high profile for the desired outcomes
  • observe the effects of interventions you have made, especially the direction in which the system is moving relative to your desired outcomes
  • keep repeating the last three preceding acitons holding firmlu to the non-negotiable outcomes, but negotiating other issues as necessary
  • celebrate and mark milestones on the journey
  • remain open to new information
47
Q

Change lifecycle
