• In 1997, Jack Welch General Electric CEO then,
  decided to send some mortgage and insurance
  application work to a small team in Gurgaon.
• By 2002, that work had expanded to 10000
  people company and was biggest part of GE

HUMAN SIDE OF IT.
• Change is fundamentally about feelings. It needs
  people’s heads and hearts together.
• “Winning Attitudes” do make a difference, and it
  is important to market new ideas and
  approaches within the organization very
  carefully.
• Culture and attitude has a very important role to
  play.
Issues in Managing Change
• Changing Organizational Cultures
  – Cultures are naturally resistant to change.
  – Conditions that facilitate cultural change:
     •   The occurrence of a dramatic crisis
     •   Leadership changing hands
     •   A young, flexible, and small organization
     •   A weak organizational culture
The Road to Cultural Change
• Conduct a cultural analysis to identify cultural elements needing
  change.
• Make it clear to employees that the organization’s survival is
  legitimately threatened if change is not forthcoming.
• Appoint new leadership with a new vision.
• Initiate a reorganization.
• Introduce new stories and rituals to convey the new vision.
• Change the selection and socialization processes and the evaluation
  and reward systems to support the new values.
Issues in Managing Change
• Handling Employee Stress due to Change
  – Stress
     • The physical and psychological tension an individual
       feels when confronted with extraordinary demands,
       constraints, or opportunities and their associated
       importance and uncertainties.
     • Functional Stress
        – Stress that has a positive effect on performance.
  – How Potential Stress Becomes Actual Stress
     • When there is uncertainty over the outcome.
     • When the outcome is important.
Causes of Stress
Issues in Managing Change
• Making Change Happen Successfully
  – Embrace change—become a change-capable
    organization.
  – Create a simple, compelling message explaining
    why change is necessary.
  – Communicate constantly and honestly.
  – Foster as much employee participation as
    possible—get all employees committed.
  – Encourage employees to be flexible.
  – Remove those who resist and cannot be changed.

Lewin’s 3 step Change process.




    Unfreezing                 Changing                Refreezing

Unfreezing Old behavior creates motivation to learn.
Lewin’s Three-Step Process

• The first step, “unfreeze” involves the process
  of letting go of certain restricting attitudes
  during the initial stages of an outdoor
  education experience.
• The second step, "change" involves alteration
  of self-conceptions and ways of thinking
  during the experience.
• The third step, "refreeze" involves solidifying
  or crystallizing the changes into a
  new, permanent form for the individual
Unfreezing Techniques
people are taken from a state of being unready to change to
being ready and willing to make the first step.

• Burning platform: Expose or create a crisis.
• Challenge: Inspire them to achieve remarkable
  things.
• Evidence: Cold, hard data is difficult to ignore.
• Education: Learn them to change.
• Management by Objectives (MBO): Tell people what
  to do, but not how.
• Visioning: Form Visions. Visions work to create
  change.
Burning Platform

• Show how staying where you are is not an
  option, and that doing nothing will result in
  disaster.
• Look for a crisis that you can highlight. They
  are often lurking nearby, forlorn and
  unnoticed.
• You can also engineer your own
  crisis that forces change.
Challenge
• Stimulate people into change by challenging
  them to achieve something remarkable. Show
  confidence in their ability to get out of their
  comfort zone and do what has not been done
  before.
• Once the group has bought the
  challenge, then they will bounce off each
  other to make it happen.
Evidence
• Find evidence that supports the need for
  change.
• Use data and statistics to create impressive
  graphs and charts.
• Cold, hard evidence is a good way of changing
  minds as counter-arguments require better
  data.
Education

• Teach people about the need for change and
  how embracing change is a far more effective
  life strategy than staying where they are or
  resisting.
• Teach people the methods of change, about
  how to be logical and creative in improving
  processes and organizations.
Management by Objectives (MBO)

• Set formal objectives for people that they will
  have to achieve, but do not tell them how
  they have to achieve this.
• Give people objectives that they can only
  achieve by working in the intended change.
•Give them relatively free rein in how
they go about achieving the
objectives. Encourage them to 'look
outside the box' for creative new ways
of achieving the objective.
Vision
• Create a motivating vision of the
  future.
• Share it with others.
• Live it until it comes true.
• Visions work only when they act to motivate and inspire the
  large numbers of people that are needed to make the change
  happen.
• For the vision to be motivating, then it must be memorable.
• For it to be memorable, it must be exciting and short.
• To be believed, it must be a regular part of the conversation of
  senior people.
Changing Techniques
      Once you have unfrozen the people, the next
         question is how you keep them going.

•   Coaching: Psychological support for executives.
•   Facilitation: Use a facilitator to guide team meetings.
•   First steps: Make it easy to get going.
•   Involvement: Give them an important role.
•   Open Space: People talk about what concerns them.
•   Step wise change: Break the work into packages.
Coaching
• When you have individual people who are
  having difficulty in managing to adapt to
  change, be a Coach to them.
• Coaching helps explore deeper motivations
  and beliefs about other people, and find
  practical ways to change these.
Facilitation
• Use skilled facilitators (HR) to support change
  activities.
• Facilitators can be used to guide various group
  events, from brainstorming and planning to
  improvement projects and change activities.
• Facilitators can also act as team
  coaches, helping people to improve within
  themselves and work together in better ways.
First Steps.
• Actually starting something is often the
  hardest thing. The Greek poet Horace said, ‘He
  has half the deed done who has made a
  beginning.’
• Make the first steps of change particularly
  easy. Make them the most obvious thing to
  do.
• Then make the next steps easy that it takes
  away all reasonable objections to enacting it.
Involvement
•   Get them involved in the change.
•   Invite them to participate in discussions.
•   Give them things to do.
•   When people are a part of something, they
    bond with it, making it a part of their identity.
Open space
• It started when Harrison Owen was running conferences and
  found that people preferred talking to others during the
  breaks than listening to speakers. He then began running
  conferences without speakers.
• The underlying philosophy is that trying to control a naturally
  chaotic universe just makes things worse. If you want people
  to collaborate, the basic principle is to bring them together
  and then get out of the way. For managers and facilitators
  this can be a very difficult part of the Open Space process. Yet
  the most successful Open Spaces are managed with but a very
  light touch.
• In change, this is useful for getting people talking together. For
  example, you can use it to get people to talk about their fears
  and concerns.
Stepwise Change
• Have clear steps in the change. Break the work
  into distinct packages and talk about each
  separately.
• Communicate about the change not as a
  single, but as a set of activities, each of which
  gains specific value.
Refreezing techniques
  people are taken from a state of being in transition and
         moved to a stable and productive state

• Burning bridges: Ensure there is no way back.
• Evidence stream: Show them time and again
  that the change is real.
• Institutionalization: Building change into the
  formal systems and structures.
• Reward alignment: Align rewards with desired
  behaviors.
• Socializing: Build it into the social fabric
Burning the bridges
• When changes are instituted, it is not uncommon for
  people to seek ways to go back the old way of
  working, hence ensure that there is no way back to
  previous ways of working.
• 'Burning bridges' is a deliberate way of preventing
  any backsliding by removing any method by which
  people can go back.
• Managers who may be not fully committed to the
  change are now strongly motivated to continue.
Evidence Stream
• Get people to accept that a change is real by providing a
  steady stream of evidence to demonstrate that the
  change has happened and is successful.
• Communicate through a range of media. Get people who
  have been involved to stand up and tell their stories of
  challenge and overcoming adversity.
• Evidence is a powerful tool for persuasion, particularly
  when people are doubtful whether something is real.
  This is particularly powerful when presented by people
  who are trusted by the audience for the information.
• A steady stream of evidence is needed because people
  are not always convinced by a few pieces of early
  evidence.
Institutionalization
• Make changes stick by building them into the formal
  fabric of the organization.
• Make them an organizational standard, building them
  into the systems of standards.
• Put them or aspects of them into the primary strategic
  plan.
• Build them into people personal objectives.
• Ensure people are assessed against them in personal
  reviews.
• The formal systems and structures within the
  organization are those which are not optional. People do
  them because they are 'business as usual‘.
Reward Alignment.
• When you make a change, ensure that you
  align the reward system with the changes that
  you want to happen.
• The saying 'Show me how I'm paid and I'll
  show you how I behave' is surprisingly
  common.
Socialize.
• Seal changes by building them into the social
  structures.
• Give social leaders prominent positions in the
  change. When they feel ownership for it, they
  will talk about it and sell it to others.
Kotter’s Eight-Step Plan for Implementing Change


1.   Establish a sense of urgency by creating a compelling reason for why
     change is needed.
2.   Form a coalition with enough power to lead the change.
3.   Create a new vision to direct the change and strategies for achieving the
     vision.
4.   Communicate the vision throughout the organization.
5.   Empower others to act on the vision by removing barriers to change and
     encouraging risk taking and creative problem solving.
6.   Plan for, create, and reward short-term “wins” that move the organization
     toward the new vision.
7.   Consolidate improvements, reassess changes, and make necessary
     adjustments in the new programs.
8.   Reinforce the changes by demonstrating the relationship between new
     behaviors and organizational success.

  • 29.
    Coaching • When youhave individual people who are having difficulty in managing to adapt to change, be a Coach to them. • Coaching helps explore deeper motivations and beliefs about other people, and find practical ways to change these.

    First Steps. • Actuallystarting something is often the hardest thing. The Greek poet Horace said, ‘He has half the deed done who has made a beginning.’ • Make the first steps of change particularly easy. Make them the most obvious thing to do. • Then make the next steps easy that it takes away all reasonable objections to enacting it.
  • 32.
    Involvement • Get them involved in the change. • Invite them to participate in discussions. • Give them things to do. • When people are a part of something, they bond with it, making it a part of their identity.
  • 33.
    Open space • Itstarted when Harrison Owen was running conferences and found that people preferred talking to others during the breaks than listening to speakers. He then began running conferences without speakers. • The underlying philosophy is that trying to control a naturally chaotic universe just makes things worse. If you want people to collaborate, the basic principle is to bring them together and then get out of the way. For managers and facilitators this can be a very difficult part of the Open Space process. Yet the most successful Open Spaces are managed with but a very light touch. • In change, this is useful for getting people talking together. For example, you can use it to get people to talk about their fears and concerns.
  • 34.
    Stepwise Change • Haveclear steps in the change. Break the work into distinct packages and talk about each separately. • Communicate about the change not as a single, but as a set of activities, each of which gains specific value.

    Refreezing techniques people are taken from a state of being in transition and moved to a stable and productive state • Burning bridges: Ensure there is no way back. • Evidence stream: Show them time and again that the change is real. • Institutionalization: Building change into the formal systems and structures. • Reward alignment: Align rewards with desired behaviors. • Socializing: Build it into the social fabric
  • 36.
    Burning the bridges •When changes are instituted, it is not uncommon for people to seek ways to go back the old way of working, hence ensure that there is no way back to previous ways of working. • 'Burning bridges' is a deliberate way of preventing any backsliding by removing any method by which people can go back. • Managers who may be not fully committed to the change are now strongly motivated to continue.
  • 37.
    Evidence Stream • Getpeople to accept that a change is real by providing a steady stream of evidence to demonstrate that the change has happened and is successful. • Communicate through a range of media. Get people who have been involved to stand up and tell their stories of challenge and overcoming adversity. • Evidence is a powerful tool for persuasion, particularly when people are doubtful whether something is real. This is particularly powerful when presented by people who are trusted by the audience for the information. • A steady stream of evidence is needed because people are not always convinced by a few pieces of early evidence.
  • 38.
    Institutionalization • Make changesstick by building them into the formal fabric of the organization. • Make them an organizational standard, building them into the systems of standards. • Put them or aspects of them into the primary strategic plan. • Build them into people personal objectives. • Ensure people are assessed against them in personal reviews. • The formal systems and structures within the organization are those which are not optional. People do them because they are 'business as usual‘.
  • 39.
    Reward Alignment. • Whenyou make a change, ensure that you align the reward system with the changes that you want to happen. • The saying 'Show me how I'm paid and I'll show you how I behave' is surprisingly common.
  • 40.
    Socialize. • Seal changesby building them into the social structures. • Give social leaders prominent positions in the change. When they feel ownership for it, they will talk about it and sell it to others.

    Kotter’s Eight-Step Planfor Implementing Change 1. Establish a sense of urgency by creating a compelling reason for why change is needed. 2. Form a coalition with enough power to lead the change. 3. Create a new vision to direct the change and strategies for achieving the vision. 4. Communicate the vision throughout the organization. 5. Empower others to act on the vision by removing barriers to change and encouraging risk taking and creative problem solving. 6. Plan for, create, and reward short-term “wins” that move the organization toward the new vision. 7. Consolidate improvements, reassess changes, and make necessary adjustments in the new programs. 8. Reinforce the changes by demonstrating the relationship between new behaviors and organizational success.
