Creating a Mindset for Change and InnovationBizLibrary
When it comes to change, most leaders and organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems. Few even recognize that without an individual and collective Mindset for Change and Innovation their best efforts will fail, especially now. This experiential session will show what is really getting in the way, how an intentional and clear focus on what you want rather than on what you are trying to avoid turns insight into actions and actions into breakthrough outcomes. She'll explain how this focus can benefit you, why we unconsciously focus on negative thoughts and how we can rewire our brains to focus on positive outcomes so that we can steer toward opportunities and away from the threats that a world in transformation will bring. This is not another positive "attitude" session, it is a session that delves into our natural instincts to focus on what we fear and are trying to avoid. Once people understand this concept, their awareness of intentional and clear focus on what they do want becomes very powerful. Laura will demonstrate simple tools to help turn you and your team's focus around and provide stories of how organizations have implemented this successful mindset. Leaders will walk away with a clear method of how to create a positive future for themselves and their team.

Performance appraisals strike back - Accelerating productivity on-the-goAlix Bourras
The fast paced, dynamic environment that makes SMBs so attractive to employees is also what prevents managers to give regular feedback to their employees. Yet regular feedback is probably the most important aspect of performance reviews, as those ongoing discussions are what will have the most positive impact on productivity in your business.
Companies such as GE, Accenture, Adobe and Deloitte have recently shifted away from annual performance reviews to an ongoing feedback model, for several reasons:
They are a chore, for managers and employees alike
One central conversation gets all the attention, when frequent, bite-size feedback is the most efficient
Worse, annual reviews tend to promote bad management.
Review this presentation to understand the new paradigm of performance appraisals, and its extended benefits to employee engagement and motivation (if you do it the right way).
At a recent Stanford GSB "Nuts & Bolts" talk, Lecturer Robert Siegel (MBA '94) shared insights on hiring and compensating employees at a startup.

Implementing HR Strategy Employee Journey And Work Culture In Your Organizati...SlideTeam
Good working environment and work culture is the foundation of a committed workforce that gives you best results. However, most companies do only a lip service when it comes to good organizational culture. To help businesses practice in spirit the principles and essentials of good wok culture and ethics, our researchers have broken down the process through this HR Strategy- Employee Journey and Work Culture in Your Organization PPT presentation. The first step in building a strong work culture is to look at your value statement and reflect the commitment for better working environment for employees within the value statement. HR professionals need to put these company values into practice by implementing a strategy whereby each value is practiced at each stage of the employee journey-right from hiring, selection, onboarding, promotion to exit. Create a plan how company values can be put into implantation at each stage. Human resource professionals will also learn through this Employee Journey PPT the role of company norms, working environment, compensation and benefits in building a satisfied work experience and loyalty towards company.

Buiilding and Supporting a Collaborative WorkplaceRobin Schooling
Collaboration is not only powerful but also necessary for the survival and growth of an organization. We can tap into the power of technology to encourage and optimize this very basic human interaction, but true impact is realized when we focus on attitude and behaviors and harness the collective wisdom within our organizations whether guiding the company through change and transformation, managing innovation, or focus on maintaining a culture of inclusion and teamwork. Collaboration, when done effectively and with purpose, can ensure alignment with the organization’s strategic plan and HR’s role (programs, policies and deliverables) is a critical component. In this session we reference research from the following sources:
• Collaboration: How Leaders Avoid the Traps, Build Common Ground, and Reap Big Results, Morten Hansen
• The Culture of Collaboration, Evan Rosen
• The Execution Trap, Roger L. Martin (Harvard Business Review)
• Eight Ways to Build Collaborative Teams, Lynda Gratton and Tamara J. Erickson (Harvard Business Review)
• Leadership Conversations: Challenging High-Potential Managers to Become Great Leaders, Alan S. Berson/Richard G. Stieglitz
We explore the skills and practices required to lead collaborative efforts in order to drive business results by discussing (1) the 3 types of collaboration (2) the importance of organizational culture – and how it can derail your efforts (3) the role of leaders (4) effective ways to build active and effective cross-functional collaboration.
Breakfast Talk hosted by Lee Hecht Harrison: Learn practical strategies and approaches to enable organizational change, lower resistance to change and increase adoption and sustainability of change initiatives
Driving It Home: Real Change is Not an Even, It's a ProcessBizLibrary
Numbers are rarely fun, so let’s get statistics out of the way first.
Did you know that 87% of employees believe there is not enough focus on “how” to change? (IBM 2015)
Did you know that 90% of CEO’s fear their organizations do not have the agility to maneuver the road ahead? (Global CEO survey)
You may or may not know that retention for stand-alone events or training is 10% at best. (National Training Laboratories)
This is the reality. It hints at many organizations being stuck in their old ways and shows that the current methods and training are not “Driving It Home,” which just happens to be the title of this very webinar.
When it comes to change, most organizations focus on structures, processes, and systems instead of individuals. Few recognize that without a collective mindset for change and innovation targeted towards leaders and employees, their best efforts to change will fail.
So how do we expect our teams and organizations to change if the leaders and individuals within them don’t? How do we expect change to “stick” when we know the poor retention of standalone training and learning sessions?
It is now, more than ever, that workplaces must acquire and utilize the right tools and the right mindset to effectively manage the forces of change. This begs the question: How? That is what we’ll talk about in this must-attend webinar.
Key Learning Objectives
What is getting in the way of change and why creating a mindset for change is so critical now.
The ugly reality of stand alone learning.
An in-depth look at the changing expectations of both consumers and learners.
The power of cinematic micro-learning where learners experience the art of coaching and learning through bite-sized video stories spaced overtime, presented on a technology platform.
Measuring the Impact of Employee Soft Skills TrainingBizLibrary
Why do organizations struggle with measuring the impact of their soft skills training?
We know that improved communications skills make our colleagues better sales professionals, HR professionals, customer service professionals, etc. But getting to actual proof of this “knowledge” isn’t always easy.
What You’ll Learn:
Common soft skills training and development challenges
How content should be delivered to achieve maximum benefit
How to build a framework for measurement of business benefits of soft skills
Make Change Work: Leadership Strategies to Build Support and Overcome ResistanceBizLibrary
Seventy percent of change efforts fail to achieve their desired results. The reasons have very little to do with change management and almost everything to do with change leadership.
This webinar will share specific, practical ideas to help your organization be more effective at change. You will walk away with ideas to help you:
Build buy-in and support for change
Overcome resistance to change
Equip your leaders and managers to lead and manage change
Change your organization’s mindset about change and its importance in achieving success

The Collaboratory: Problem-Solving in the Learning EnvironmentGreg Louviere
This session focuses on the interjection of problem-solving into the learning environment, establishing the Collaboratory as an engine for creative decision-making within a collaborative setting. Of the numerous problem-solving methods available, this presentation examines solution-based "design thinking" in the learning context. Through research and case studies, the presentation will delve into the spatial features that successfully foster a problem-solving learning environment. In recent years, many institutions have created Colaboratories, including the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Innovation Lab, and Stanford d:school. The purpose of which is to investigate problems such as climate change, health care, sustainability, economic globalization, learning equity, business growth and entrepreneurship. This presentation will explain the reasons why the problem-solving environment of a Collaboratory can become a learning opportunity in Higher-Education and K-12 applications and, the reason for its proliferation among corporations, organizations and institutions.

How can design thinking enable cultural change in organizationRenzo D'andrea
This personal research project is an attempt to explore cultural change in organisations through an adapted Design Thinking approach. The scope of the research is the public organisation of the Croydon Council. During the three months work experience, the researcher could observe the change management process within which the organisation was going through. The motivation for developing this project was focused on how to create a sustainable and positive impact when the organisational change happened. The uncertainty and complexity that organisations must handle is inherently increasing. The demand to reframe the outlook with fresh tools is essential to enable a variety of approaches.
Qualitative and observational approaches were employed during the experimental action research. Eleven qualitative interviews across the Croydon Council organisation unfolded the interpretation of the resources employed throughout this journey. As a result of it a workshop - ‘Behavioural Change & Design Thinking with the Leaders’ - was designed for the interviewees to participate in a different approach to engagement. The workshop’s objective was to test the qualitative research findings. It was also planned to challenge the participants through exercises that could generate a behavioural change.
The programme was developed with the Croydon Council Organisational Development team. Two organisational change practitioners evaluated the workshop. The workshop showed how to take more in consideration a human-centred approach to the organisational cultural change journey.

Why Culture Can Be More Important Than Your Creative.
There comes a point in most creative firms where the work that your company is producing is credible enough that it speaks for itself; no one questions that the firm is talented and capable of handling most projects. In these periods of a company's creative development, the measure for whether or not a client wants to work with you is no longer predicated on how well you design—the decision becomes predicated on whether or not the firm is a "cultural fit." Rule29's, Justin Ahrens, explores why a company's culture is potentially the most important (and most elusive) element for success in the design (or any) industry and how to go about fostering the kind of company culture that employees want to be a part of and that clients want to work with.

Leading and Managing Sustainable Innovation
Perhaps there is no important rule in business than understanding that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to creating innovation. Even if you can create a spark of innovation, there is no guarantee that it can be maintained if there is no culture to maintain it. Simply stated, organizational leaders have to build an environment where innovation can occur and where it can be maintained. For innovation to happen, many conditions must be met. However, the conditions are not formulas for perfect innovations but simple elements that a manager must mix in the proper proportions for their respective organization. These elements include, but are not limited to, employees being encouraged to participate in process improvement; managers being willing to allow for failures with innovation; and finally, risk management must occur and must become socially ingrained. Keep in mind this is not risk avoidance; it is risk management of the inherent risks of seeking to be an innova ...

ASSIGNMENT PROMPT FOR
SECOND MAIN STUDY REPORT
Please follow the directions to the prompt questions. Creative thinking is encouraged as long as you are thoroughly covering the core questions. Use your understanding of economic thinking and economic behavior. This paper should be approximately a 10 page typed work. My personal preference is for 1.15-paced lines in a 12-font, with 1-inch margins. Use appropriate citation of outside sources as necessary, gathered in a bibliography at the end of the report, but these can be broadly referential, since this is a work of exposition, not a research paper as such. This report is due in my office (210 West House) or via email, no later than 7 AM December 4, 2014. Please do not turn anything in to the MOODLE site. No late work will be accepted. Thank you.
Enjoy!
THE ECONOMICS OF LIFE
Directions: Write an informative essay in response to the following prompt question: What part does economic thinking play in life? While you may utilize some direct reference to your own personal life, your work must also speak in general terms. Besides the answer to the broad abstract question above, please also provide a focused answer to at least two of the more specific prompts provided below:
1. To what extent can the economic perspective be applied when deciding between (1) your needs and desires regarding family and (2) the socially-imposed requirements and demands of building a successful career and/or business?
2. How will you reconcile your own personal dreams, hopes, and preferences with those of the others in your family unit (your spouse and your children)?
3. How does economic thinking apply to the “social contract” of the family unit, or can “economics” be disregarded when it comes to decisions inside the family?
4. How important is money in the successful accomplishment of your life goals?
5. How important is it to take an economically rational view in regards towards thinking about and planning towards the future?
6. How does economic thinking apply to considerations of living and working in the city/urban environment versus the country/rural environment? Explain how economics applies to questions surrounding whether to stay near where you originally grew up as opposed to moving far away and/or to moving to a culture that is very different to the one you were raised in.
7. Use economic thinking to describe your efforts to build elements of your human capital, e.g. the attainments of educational credentials, workplace skills and experiences, and social and cultural knowledge. How are these important?
8. Describe the applicability of economic thinking to decisions regarding romance, courtship, and marriage. Does economic thinking come into play in c ...

MHRM587
Foundational Model of Change
Managing change is a complex process. Change does not occur in one great swoop. Few organizations manage the process as well as they would like. In order to make change work, organizations need to follow a process to enhance the probability of success versus just “winging it.” The following model of change provides one useful way to think about creating and implementing organization-wide change.
Basic Change Process Model
Consideration
Stimulus Driving Forces
Pre-Change
Validate Need
Preparation
Commit
Do –Check – Act
Implementation
RESULT
New Normal
Change
Active
Conscious
Culture
Passive
Unconscious
Pre-Change Paradigm
This is the first stage of the change journey.
Without a paradigm that encourages “active searching,” organizations can ignore important early warning signs and wait until a crisis highlights the need for change (i.e., scenario planning)
Make sure you know what is important?
Who is important?
What do they want?
How are you doing?
What could be improved?
Stimulus (Driving Forces) & Assessment
What are the driving forces or antecedents to change—internal and external.
How do these driving forces influence the organization’s business model and force new requirements for success?
Is change really necessary? Deciding the status quo is preferable is a productive learning activity.
Caution #1: What must be guarded against is any denial that any driving forces or stimuli for change exist.
Caution #2: Or when it’s recognized that change is required, the “disconfirming data” may induce anxiety which can obviate the change as necessary
Sound analysis of driving forces is a prerequisite to good change strategy
Validate Need
Establish compelling need for change.
Create a sense of urgency
Begin to create psychological safety
Begin to address the inertia of the existing status quo (resistance to change)
Transformation Leadership key framework in leading change
Preparation
Caution: Avoid premature action without first developing an effective plan for the change
What is the change vision?
What will success look like?
What are the criteria for success?
What resources + administrative support systems will be needed?
What is the timeline for this change?
What kind of change is required? Incremental? Transformational?
Commitment to Act
Is the planned action the most effective and efficient way to deliver the required change?
Begin the “unfreeze” process in the change cycle
Do-Check-Act
(Implementation)
Implementing change is the most challenging aspect of any change effort.
Once the momentum for change has been successfully launched, what is delivered must be effectively managed.
We will introduce several frameworks useful for this purpose during the course:

Creating a Culture of Operational Discipline that leads to Operational Excell...Wilson Perumal and Company
As the world becomes more complex, the best companies and leaders are beginning to realize that improving culture is their greatest lever for achieving Operational Excellence. Complex systems require a different kind of culture—one with a specific set of guiding principles. In order to instill these principles in your organization, it is necessary to learn what the current culture is and what people think it ought to be like, establish the guiding principles necessary to be successful, align them to every level of the organization, and develop and sustain them through committed leadership and integration into key management system processes.
Wilson Perumal & Company has a long track record of helping companies in all industries transform their cultures and dramatically improve operational results. In this Vantage Point, we will share the most important lessons we have learned through our research and experience working directly with High-Reliability Organizations (HROs) and our clients as they pursue Operational Excellence.

A big part of process improvement is managing the transition. Many books have been written about how to do this, yet there is a paucity of strategies that can be tied to real life variables. In this Appendix to our book (in translation from Spanish) we explore such strategies and suggest a parsimonious approach whenever possible.

2. It is easy to understand the
concept of change
management. Let’s take a look
at Prosci’s definition:
“Change management is the application of a structured
process and set of tools for leading the people side of
change to achieve a desired outcome.”
3. But once change implementation has
started, things can get so stressful.
“Any change, even a change for the better, is always
accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.”
Arnold Bennett
4. Many employees resist change
because of many reasons.
Changes
to routines
More work Fear of job loss
Incompetence for
new tasks
Unhealthy
communication
Fear of
the unknown
5. But change
is important.
“It is not the strongest
of the species that
survive, nor the most
intelligent, but the
one most responsive
to change.”
Charles Darwin
Companies may lose their
competitive edge if they
can’t meet the changing
needs of their customers.
