TRIZ: Liberating Structure in Action

“the most common cause of failure in
leadership is produced by treating
adaptive challenges as if they were
technical problems.”

Distinguishing technical problems

“The source of energy at work is not in
control, it is in connection to purpose.”
Don Berwick
Compliance Commitment
A minimum performance
standard that everyone must
achieve
A collective goal that everyone
can aspire to
Uses hierarchy, systems and
standard procedures for
coordination and control
Based on shared goals, values,
and sense of purpose for
coordination and control
Threat of penalties, sanctions,
shame creates momentum for
delivery
Commitment to a common
purpose creates energy for
delivery
Christina Costello
Babson Entrepreneur Experience Lab
The only thing that makes people and organizations
great is their willingness to be not great along the
way.
The desire to fail on the way to reaching a bigger
goal is the untold secret of success.
Seth Godin, Tribes
“best failure” ritual
Adaptive in Leadership Style
• Ask more questions
• Build extra time into meeting agendas
• Expand the circle of individuals
• Stay close to those who oppose your ideas
• Try the “Balcony” and “Dance Floor Analogy”
Ron Heifetz, Practical Tools and Tips for Adaptive Leadership
TRIZ
DESIGNING A PERFECTLY
ADVERSE SYSTEM
THE WORST POSSIBLE
RESULTS FROM YOUR
WORK
Lipmanowicz, McCandless 21
PALETTEOFLIBERATINGSTRUCTURES
Designer:LesleyJacobs
Why do we use TRIZ?
• Creative destruction
• Challenge the status quo & sacred cows
• Gives permission to discuss taboo subjects
• Builds trust
TRIZ – First Step
Be creative! Make yourself laugh! This is
SERIOUS FUN…..
Reflect in your small group, make a list of “to
do’s” in answer to:
1. How will we make the best ideas fail?
2. How will we stifle creativity in our staff?
3. How can we be sure that our staff
morale is rock bottom?
4. How do we make sure patients are
alienated?
Pick one you like!
TRIZ – Second Step
Go down the list and ask:
Is there anything on this list that we currently
practice, even remotely?
Is there an element of truth in here?
Cross out the ones that you are not doing EVER.
Power Distance Index
A high power distance score accepts a hierarchical
order in which everyone has a place that needs no
further justification.
The higher the power distance in a culture, the less
likely those in subordinate roles will question the
actions or directions of individuals in authority.
Geert Hofstede’s Power Distance Index
www.Clearlycultural.com
High Power Distance Index Cultures
• Authority and demonstrate rank.
• Subordinates expect clear guidance from above.
• Subordinates are expected to take the blame for
things going wrong (Collateral damage).
• The relationship between boss and subordinate
is rarely close or personal.
• Class divisions within society are accepted.
Ron Collins, 2014
Can hierarchy cause plane crashes?
Power Distance Index
Canada = 39
Canada
• Canadian culture is marked by
interdependence and value placed on
egalitarianism.
• Lack of overt status and/or class
distinctions in society.
• Hierarchy in Canadian organizations is
established for convenience.
• Superiors are always accessible and
managers rely on individual employees
and teams for their expertise.
• Managers and staff members consult
one another and share information
freely.
• With respect to communication, value a
straightforward exchange of
information.
• Power Distance Index
• Score = 39
Questions to ask yourself …
• Are you aware of how others react to you?
• Do they start or stop talking when you enter
the room?
• Do you feel you can not talk to higher levels
in the organization without permission.
• Does your organization encourage the use of
titles and position
What do you see in a high power
distance index?
Geert Hofstede
http://geert-hofstede.com
• Senior-level people get no information
• Senior leaders perceive that everything is going
well
• Junior-level people do not bring ideas forward.
TRIZ – Third Step
Look at your list…what items do you want to
commit to avoiding?
Pick your top two.
What will you do to avoid those items?
Be as concrete as you can.
Postcards!
• What do you want to remember about this
workshop?
• What can you do tomorrow?
Report out!

  • 27. A high power distance score accepts a hierarchical order in which everyone has a place that needs no further justification. The higher the power distance in a culture, the less likely those in subordinate roles will question the actions or directions of individuals in authority. Geert Hofstede’s Power Distance Index www.Clearlycultural.com
  • 28. High Power Distance Index Cultures • Authority and demonstrate rank. • Subordinates expect clear guidance from above. • Subordinates are expected to take the blame for things going wrong (Collateral damage). • The relationship between boss and subordinate is rarely close or personal. • Class divisions within society are accepted. Ron Collins, 2014
  • 29. Can hierarchy cause plane crashes?
  • 31. Canada • Canadian culture is marked by interdependence and value placed on egalitarianism. • Lack of overt status and/or class distinctions in society. • Hierarchy in Canadian organizations is established for convenience. • Superiors are always accessible and managers rely on individual employees and teams for their expertise. • Managers and staff members consult one another and share information freely. • With respect to communication, value a straightforward exchange of information. • Power Distance Index • Score = 39
  • 32. Questions to ask yourself … • Are you aware of how others react to you? • Do they start or stop talking when you enter the room? • Do you feel you can not talk to higher levels in the organization without permission. • Does your organization encourage the use of titles and position
  • 33. What do you see in a high power distance index? Geert Hofstede http://geert-hofstede.com • Senior-level people get no information • Senior leaders perceive that everything is going well • Junior-level people do not bring ideas forward.

Editor's Notes

  1. Silence Kills Study 90% of JAHCO never events linked to communication 17 years to implement best practice Reviews of academic literature conclude correlation between culture & outcomes 1. Disease-Specific Care Certification – National Patient Safety Goals. Oak Brook Terrace (IL): The Joint Commission; 2008. Available from: www.jointcommision.org. Providing shitty care Haven’t moved the outcomes Culture of caregiver culture Is it “fuzzy” and fluffy? How many of your clinicians truly recognize culture as a key ingredient to change 17 years to implement new evidence Have a conversation about that today
  2. The teamwork climate domain of the SAQ survey has proved to be an effective predictor of various adverse events and patient satisfaction at the unit level We have data from >40 hospitals demonstrating this remarkable relationship These diagnostic insights point to specific training opportunities that our TEM program systematically address A very important correlations with HCAHPS which in the age of the ACO, has dramatic impact
  3. Do not display slide 6 and 7 for the “in person” audience – only for virtual audience. For inperson – go to: One poll at a time (listen to presenter for next poll) Poll everywhere. com User id: msahota@bcpsqc.ca Password: Quality4BC Poll no. 1 How would you rate the moral in your unit(s)/place of work right now? Poll no. 2 Do you work with anyone that you do not hold accountable because you it is too dangerous to speak up?
  4. Adaptive challenges can only be addressed through changes in people’s priorities, beliefs, habits and loyalties
  5. Technical versus Non-technical/Adaptive/Culture – give a definition of “Culture” and “Non-technical skills” The culture side is the base of the iceberg
  6. Adaptive challenges can only be addressed in changes in peoples priorities beliefs habits and loyalties. Going beyond authoratative expertise to mobilize discovery and shedding entrenched ways, tolerating losses and generating the new capacity to thrive.
  7. Its folklore (stories that are important), its rituals (how new employees are welcomed into the company), its group norms (dress code), and its meeting protocols. All these cultural ingredients influence the organization’s adaptability.

  10. Marlies How do you form teams New ventures – build a great team vs. perfecting an idea. Success is dependent on the quality of the idea – but deeply dependent of the ability of the team to execute. What if you have no control over the team? E’s become great relationship and engagement manager. To understand the ability of good team members. Those can be used to leverage the sense of co-ownership See the sense of co-ownership. They have ability to pull others along with them.
  11. Who is brave enough to share your biggest bomb last month? Where did I make a mistep? Every Monday morning staff meeting an employee who learned the most from a mistake during the previous week shared what they learned. They then receive a funny prize and a round of applause for contributing to the team’s education. Empathy, humility, listening, compassion, situation awareness of what’s really going on.
  12. Ask more questions rather than issuing more directives Build extra time into meeting agendas so that the adaptive challenges do not get either bypassed in favor of more immediate concerns or treated with short-term technical fixes Expand the circle of individuals who need to be consulted in exploring possible solutions to the problem  Stay close to those who oppose your ideas; spend time with them, ask for their input on your initiative, listen closely to their reality (especially when it differs from yours), and take their temperature. Ron Heifetz, Practical Tools and Tips for Adaptive Leadership

  15. This dimension expresses the degree to which the less powerful members of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. The fundamental issue here is how a society handles inequalities among people. People in societies exhibiting a large degree of power distance accept a hierarchical order in which everybody has a place and which needs no further justification. In societies with low power distance, people strive to equalise the distribution of power and demand justification for inequalities of power. Hofstede’s Power distance Index measures the extent to which the less powerful members of organizations and institutions (like the family) accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. This represents inequality (more versus less), but defined from below, not from above. It suggests that a society’s level of inequality is endorsed by the followers as much as by the leaders. For example, Germany has a 35 on the cultural scale of Hofstede’s analysis. Compared to Arab countries where the power distance is very high (80) and Austria where it very low (11), Germany is somewhat in the middle.
  16. On residential unit the healthcare aid – residential care Do healthcare aids feel comfortable speaking up in front of nurses. Do they feel empowered to challenge nurses? Korean Airlines Ferry off the coast of South Korea “Senior-level people get no information, and believe that they have nothing to improve upon, and junior-level people do not bring ideas forward. It’s hard to innovate under these conditions.”
  17. Korean air… Cultural representation on how people are based on culture. Increase of plane crashes – Malcolm Gladwell. Boeing designed for Two equal pilots. Korean airline one person in charge. The other person can not challenge. Story Malcolm Gladwell Not badly trained pilots – trained with same skillset – cultureal hierarchy. Asiana Airlines South Korea The pilot (3 captains and one first officer) – captain 48 years – 12,000 hrs of flying experience – 3,000 in a Boeing 777 first flight as an instructor. One more captain training and first time with instructor. One of the first time landing a Boeing 777. Pilot not able to question authority of the instructor.
  18. Highest power distance index is in Malaysia and Philippians
  19. Using the word doctor – Doug, our chair says that using the ‘doctor’ puts his patients at risk. It creates a barrier. I never refer to physicians by doctor –

  21. It’s hard to innovate under these conditions.
