John Kotter: “Accelerate!”
• We won’t create big change
through hierarchy on its own
• We need hierarchy AND network
• Many change agents, not just a
few, with many acts of leadership
• At least 50% buy-in required
• Changing our mindset
• From “have to” to “want to”

11. The Network Secrets of Great Change Agents
Julie Battilana &Tiziana Casciaro
1. As a change agent, my centrality in the informal
network is more important than my position in
the formal hierarchy
2. If you want to create small scale change, work
through a cohesive network
If you want to create big change, create
bridge networks between disconnected groups
12. @HelenBevan #SCHR #CANsurgery
is the new normal!
“By questioning existing ideas, by
opening new fields for action,
change agents actually help
organisations survive and adapt
to the 21st Century.”

What is a rebel?
•The principal champion of a change initiative, cause
or action
•Rebels don’t wait for permission to lead, innovate,
strategise
•They are responsible; they do what is right
•They name things that others don’t
see yet
•They point to new horizons
•Without rebels, the storyline never
changes

We need boatrockers!
• Rock the boat but manage to
stay in it
• Walk the fine line between
difference and fit, inside and
outside
• Able to challenge the status
quo when we see that there
could be a better way
• Conform AND rebel
• Capable of working with others
to create success NOT a
destructive troublemaker

There’s a big difference between a rebel
and a troublemaker
Rebel
19. @HelenBevan #SCHR #CANsurgery
Reflection
• What are your insights around “rebels” and
“troublemakers”?
• What moves people from being “rebel” to
“troublemaker”?
• How do we protect against this?

corner of the
universe you can
be certain of
improving, and
that’s your own
self."

1. able to join forces with others to create action
2. able to achieve small wins which create a sense
of hope, possibility and confidence
3. More likely to view obstacles as challenges to
overcome
4. strong sense of “self-efficacy”
belief that I am personally able to create the change

Self-efficacy
There is a positive, significant
relationship between the
self-efficacy beliefs of a
change agent and her/his
ability to facilitate change
and get good outcomes

26. @HelenBevan #SCHR #CANsurgery
Building self-efficacy: some tactics
1. Create change one small step at a time
2. Reframe your thinking:
• failed attempts are learning opportunities
• uncertainty becomes curiousity
3. Make change routine rather than an exceptional
activity
4. Get social support
5. Learn from the best

Research from the Sales industry:
How many NOs should we be seeking to get?
• 2% of sales are made on the first contact
• 3% of sales are made on the second contact
• 5% of sales are made on the third contact
• 10% of sales are made on the fourth contact
• 80% of sales are made on the fifth to twelfth
contact

“Papers that are more likely to contend against
the status quo are more likely to find an opponent
in the review system—and thus be rejected —but
those papers are also more likely to have an
impact on people across the system, earning them
more citations when finally published”

scientific journals reveal hidden submission patterns,”

A disruptive
case study:
Probably the biggest day of collective action for
improvement in the history of the NHS
Creating a mass movement of people working together in
and with the NHS demonstrating the difference they can
make, by one simple act for sustainable improvement
38. @HelenBevan #SCHR #CANsurgery
Anyone can make a change to improve health and care.
NHS Change Day supports these people by celebrating
and sharing their actions, so that they can then inspire
others.
Change Day supports innovative campaigns and ideas
by building connections and communities of support.
On Wednesday 11 March we’ll celebrate
these changes for the better on
NHS Change Day.
How does it work?
41. @HelenBevan #SCHR #CANsurgery
Many people have shared their stories to
inspire others.
The children’s asthma service in
Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale,
which is part of Pennine Care NHS
Foundation Trust, consists of two
Paediatric Asthma Nurse
Specialists who work within a
Children’s Community Team.
They started a Facebook page to
deliver asthma advice and gentle
reminders for young people and
their parents.

Doctors and nurses who work with older
people at University Hospital Leicester
wore continence pads for a day to see
how it feels for their patients.
They wore the pad for eleven hours and
along with the continence specialist
nurses did ‘use’ it to know exactly how
their patients feel.

In 2014, Countess of Chester Hospital
decided to make a very simple change in
its paint work to become Dementia
friendly, after advice from their painter
and decorator Rob McWhinnie.
It costs no more to paint in dementia
friendly colours. Rob McWhinnie told us
“At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter
what colour I use to paint with, the price
is still the same.”

“Tomorrow’s
management systems
will need to value
diversity, dissent and
divergence as highly as
conformance, consensus
and cohesion.”
