Conversations of Agile Change (Dr Jen Frahm)

Bill Braun and I met when co-managers of the Organisational Change Practitioners group on Linkedin.

The No-One Dies Alone program Bill volunteers with.

Skills that are transferrable post organisational change:

Deep listening
Good questions

Peter Block's attributes of powerful questions

• Personal
• Vague
• Anxiety provoking

In retrospect ...

My effectiveness would have been better as a change practitioner for deep listening and asking powerful questions.

The learning continues!

Social anthropology defined – study of how people make meaning / attribute meaning to their environment.

What does a social anthropologist lens bring to organisational change work?

• Working with symbols
• People who are impacted by the change are best placed to design and implement the change
• Change should be iterative and collaborative

Example of how symbols are important

In the UN – how much carpet you had in your office denoted hierarchy. If you had a square of carpet it denoted you were very important and you would be listened to.

So to use in change – symbolism of senior leaders seen to be leading change and committed to the change has much greater impact than communicating the change.

Examples of people impacted by the change best to manage it?

Only people who are part of the culture can change it – external vendors cannot achieve this
There needs to be a partnership – organisations need to bring in change expertise, but they need to work with people in the organisation to make it work.
Social anthropologists believe that you cannot have the answer until we share information, design and plan together.

Examples of iterative
Organisations are never really standing still. What we do is plan based on what we know now, we implement and we see how the organisation reacts. There is not a focus on right or wrong, simply what is working and what needs to progress.

Trust is undermined by a focus on right or wrong.

How does a social anthropologist make sense of the change management profession?

I don’t use the language or term of change management.

Favourite question: Can you tell me what this change is about without using the words transformation, system or even the software? If we are talking about these we are talking about the solution, the new world, not the transition.

We can get lost in the jargon of change management

Tension between change management and organisational development?

It’s a divide between between people who see change management as people based v process based. To me it doesn’t make any sense to differentiate between them – if there’s a change, there’s a change. They still need support – whatever gets you through that is what is managing the change. Both perspectives provide value – traditionally OD people have not focused enough on the reality of business acumen. But change managers need to work deep in the business to make it stick and understand the time that it takes for change to actually occur.

The Abundant Community

A sharp hit of change with Nicholas Martin, Prosci accredited, agile change manager.

In this episode of "Conversations of Agile Change," Kylie Browne speaks with Lena Ross and discusses her role as a director of organizational change, focusing on digital transformation and organizational agility post-COVID-19. She highlights the accelerated pace of change projects, emphasizing the need for quicker execution with less planning time. Kylie advocates for visual communication in change management, explaining how it simplifies complex information and facilitates effective communication. She also details the development of a community of practice within her organization to deepen change management capabilities at multiple levels. Listeners will learn about implementing agile change management and the benefits of continuous improvement. This episode is essential for anyone looking to understand agile methodologies in contemporary organizational contexts.

What is systems dynamics?

A way of understanding the complex behaviour of complex systems - it's the dynamics of complex systems (social systems).

How to make the abstract element of systems dynamics concrete?

Practical applications of systems dynamics include: flows - changes in people, information and materials  eg the number of dollars that came in this month, the number of widgets in transit, the information that is coming in, how fast it arrives etc

Also interested in accumulation - difference between incoming flows and outgoing flows. Delays in systems are also of interest to us (examples provided in the financial departments provided on the frustration of non-real time reporting)

Feedback - one part of the system may produce some information that when another part of the system receives it they are compelled to respond

An example in practice in healthcare.

The typical flow is a patient arrives, nursing unit, to pre-op, into operating room, post op, then back to nursing unit.
The change challenge was to look at the throughput of the patient process to ensure beds could be available

Nexus of systems dynamics and organisational change?

When people say they have a problem, systems dynamics can help in establishing the problem. Equally - very successful businesses or departments within businesses don't often understand why they are successful. Systems dynamics helps with understanding why it is so.

How does System Dynamics deal with human behaviour

The ability to examine human behaviour - what's going on now, how would rate people's familiarity and acceptance and execution of a certain process. In SD we normalize the response - the present behaviour is 1.0 (example). A collapse of the system is 0 and improvement is more than 1. It's relatively easy to deal with soft human behaviour as you can then look at probability.

How did Bill get into this field

Teaching at Baltimore University - subscribed to the Systems Thinker and the articles intrigued Bill. Bought the software on a whim and to play with it. The pathway now is via computing courses, quantitative computer modelling.
Professor Jay Forrester - founder of the field, would say this is the only way.
BUT you get value in doing a causal loop diagram and qualitative inquiry.

Resources?

Business Dynamics, Prof John Sterman

It's chapter 2 of 6 chapters released daily of Part 1 of my book - in this I look at the four common points of confusion about change management and organisational change.

We're four days in to the six days in a row, Part 1 of my book. In Chapter 4 we deep dive into how to identify a good change practitioner - internal or external. This will help managers and leaders who are looking to recruit or hire specialists skillsets. If you're looking to move into change management this will also give you a sense of what you need to have by way of experience, skillset and mindset.

I speak with change management consultant Glory Enyinnaya from Nigeria. We talk about change management in Africa, her upcoming book and the conference circuit in MENA.

And we're back! Conversations of Change has had a lovely long nap and has woken up most refreshed and wanting to chat about Agile Change! Your co-hosts are Lena Ross and Dr Jen Frahm. We tell you what's coming up.

A career that soars 

Joanne and I talk Prosci research, methodologies, accreditation and the future of Change Management.

The latest is #ChangeChat is with Rita Meyerson. We talk doctoral studies and change leadership.

How did Rita get into change work?

A lot of study!
Started with Andersen Consulting (Now Accenture)

What does a typical day look like?

No typical routine, large tolerance for change and ambiguity.
Client work, mid-career doctoral candidate – ABD (All But Dissertation), mother to 11 year old boy, yogi.

Motivation for the doctoral studies?

A client engagement (and their leaders) prompted Rita to complete the studies as a doctoral program. George Washington University provided a program that was flexible with family obligations and also the topic of culture and leadership in change. Rita’s dissertation focuses on organisational identity during M&As – how does the new culture emerges.

How does Rita manage the tension of academic v practitioner as a “pracademic”?

George Washington program is a scholar practitioner program.

The empirical research helps Rita lead with the practitioner focus and the work with clients. It provides rigour and confidence to customisation with clients.

It’s an art and a science – in order to be effective, you need to understand the human components. I wouldn’t be able to understand the nuances without the doctoral work.

Advice to those who want to do a doctoral degree?

You need to look at where you are in life, what purpose would it do for you?

Practical experience is necessary – you need to have been in the trenches, you can’t do it well straight out of undergrad.

It is a huge time commitment – it is a full time job, on top of the regular job to pay the bills, and you need to juggle with family and personal life.

You need to be maniacal with your time – in how it all fits in.

Supportive professors help too!

For the leaders of change – what’s the highlight of what they need to be thinking of?

If you are responsible for leading change you really need to understand stakeholder management. You need to have the right people on your team. Remove people who are not on the change mission with you.

Larger companies who have leadership programs that work on themselves (eg EQ) they are more adept at change leadership.

Context of the organisation, maturity of the business cycle and succession planning tend to have better leaders at managing change.

Future of Rita Meyerson post EdD

Be an adjunct business professor – influence the change curriculum
Policy change – family friendly work policies at government and industry level

Industrial / Organisational Psychology is the same name as workplace psychology / organisational psychology

siopchat on twitter is the chat referred to!

Where does big data sit in IO Psych and Org Change

Lot of talk about it, we need to get in front of it, potential for machine learning, and artificial intelligence in use in employee engagement.

Big debates in the space

• Annual performance reviews – continuous or once a year.

• IQ / EQ and personality types – how important are they?

• What’s the right combination of top down / bottom up engagement.

Latest issues in the space:

• Organisations need to bring in change managers early in the design, not after decisions are made

• Even if decisions are made, there are still opportunities to provide employees’s ownership so change is done with them, not to them.

• Are we trying to change the hearts and minds or just change behaviour.

Latest on the scene is behavioural economic and nudges, see “Nudge” by Thaler and Sunstein and “Thinking, fast and slow” by Kahneman

Pathway into I/O Psych – masters or PhD. PhDs are not necessarily academic.

Paul got into the field from counselling – still using psychology, but in a different way

Paul’s view on social media – ten years I didn’t have a social media presence, but volunteer roles in local OD group meant he had to get immersed in. He’s sees benefit with the curation of content and continue professional development.

Paul is speaking later on leveraging social media for learning at ATD-GTC

Further development?

After the super #ChangeChat with Luc Galoppin on Social Architecture (and chocolate) we had a quick Sharp Hit of Change (SHOC). Here it is!

How did Luc get into change work?

What is Luc working on now?

Luc tells us about a change he is proud of

Luc shares of a change that didn't go so well

What are the most important things to heed about workplace change

• You are not working on an island
• We should be aware of the non formal structures in the community - tribal dynamics of change

Advice to those who are new in the industry - early career change managers

1. You need to master the basics first
2. Earn your entry ticket and then
   you build on that
3. Baby steps

A #changechat with Heather Stagl on change resistance, change readiness and her new book!

And we're back - after a brief hiatus, we're back. I share a slight shift in focus for the year AND a talk I provided recently on the 5 qualities of change leadership that I think make all the difference! Warning - there's a 2 second drop out at about the 21 min mark. Dang!

A #changechat with Anecdote founder Shawn Callahan on the power of stories in organizational change

What is a dialogue experiment?
Good change was noted for good conversations. How do you make good conversations happen? Was the origin of it. Started bringing groups together to discuss a topic and then analyse the conversation itself – what did we learn about conversation through this conversation.

Hallmarks of a good conversation
Energy – when something new is emerging out of it.
When we are thrown together with different people and we get insights we can’t get alone

Where do you see the role of conversations in change (informal v formal)
We see repetition in the questions that keep coming up when we do things like roadshows. We need to look at the intention within the conversation.

What is the mix of instrumental and constructive intent in conversations
Conversations feel flat and hollow when they think they know the outcome of the conversation. When you see the spark in people’s eyes and we are off balance – there’s been an genuine unanswerable question, and this is what generates change.

How do you keep conversations open and flowing?
Dialogue events are usually strategic events with leadership teams, being offsite and in the wilderness. If the events are too cerebral it can go very flat. Use structures that mix it up and invite activity (like walks in pair to reflect on the themes).

How do we deal with silence in conversations?
Silence can be unnerving – but when we use silence in the walks it’s not seen as silence, it’s a pilgrimage. Things happen in the action of reflection (eg doodling, walking). Incorporate the silence in the conversation. People need silence to reflect and absorb in change – we need to incorporate space in the change programs for people to absorb the change.

Introverts and extroverts in dialogue experiments – any differences
Yes, the groups that are very introverted need a lot of time prior to the experiments to think about the topic. Even on the day, we need to put air into the program so they can

What makes somebody a good conversationalist?
That was the first hypothesis in our experiment – you need a good listener, challenger, provocateru, or the specialist who can get to the questions - people who are really curious and meaning makers. But after looking at those profiles, we’ve moved away to universal skills.

The qualities of a conversationalist

• Listening
• Being a good talker
• Challenger – shakes up a conversation in a good way
• Investigating and being curious
• Empathy and understand other people
• Making meaning
• Giving visibility to the harvesting of ideas

Stimulating Conversations – What’s the scoop?
A book that is being designed to create a space for conversation, instil more desire for intent of conversations, identify good questions for conversation, invitations for conversation, how you stay open to conversation.

A lot of online tools for design – eg divergent and convergent conversations, the GROW models, the Six Sigma processes.

16.25 Advice to those starting out?

• Do some soul searching on what kind of impact do you want to have it in the world

• If it's change management, pay attention to soft skills that you need to do it well, and the tools and applications that you learn as you go along. You won't have impact if you don't have the soft skills.

The Australian Transformation & Turnaround Association has released a white paper on the state of affairs of CEOs, Boards and Transformation. It's a bit grim! I speak with Adam Salzer, Chair of the ATTA about it.
