This document outlines a framework for facilitating friction-free transformation in organizations. It is presented over three stages: 1) Build buy-in by engaging others, eliminating resistance, and mapping the landscape. 2) Remove roadblocks by overcoming inertia, generating confidence, and removing "sludge". 3) Embrace experimentation by scaling, sharing, and sustaining changes through a culture of experimentation, subtraction of unnecessary processes, and sharing of successes. Each stage contains modules to break challenges into tasks and tools to dissolve resistance. The goal is to establish an environment where transformation can occur through distributed, community-driven efforts rather than traditional bureaucratic change programs.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of education in today's world, the ability to navigate complex change is crucial for leaders and organizations. Leading such change requires building the buy-in of stakeholders, address roadblocks hindering progress, and fostering a culture of experimentation that embraces calculated risks and encourages learning from failures. This workshop introduces the concept of transformative leadership, introducing a comprehensive framework specifically designed to guide leaders and organizations as they tackle complex challenges where no obvious solution exists.
These slides are from a workshop run at the Aurora Institute Symposium in Palm Springs, October 2023
In a rapidly changing world, every leader needs to understand how to effectively guide organizational change. Change may be necessary for many reasons, such as meeting new customer demands; implementing a strategic plan; upgrading technology systems; or coping with challenges. Leaders often wonder how to promote buy-in and engagement during what is sometimes a difficult process. This webinar for staff and board members will focus on: principles of change; understanding how people react to change; common mistakes and how to avoid them; working with resistance; and maintaining open communication. You will learn practical tips and be introduced to resources for further learning.

Stephanie Cooper - Genuine Curiosity - Conversations for ChangeAgileNZ Conference
People often ask for the golden phrase, the silver bullet they can use to convince their teams, managers or executives to ‘go Agile’. While it would certainly help to talk about outcomes and benefits over practices and methods, it can sometimes be your own mindset that is holding back your ability to influence change.
In this session, Steph looks at mindsets (the values and assumptions you make) and explore how a lack of genuine curiosity can provoke defensive behaviours in others and stop organisations from resolving the issues that really matter, but are challenging to address.
She’ll use the setting of a small conversation to explore and better understand these ideas. While organisational change is big, the momentum for change can often be won or lost in small conversations. Becoming better in small conversations will help you grow your role in influencing organisational change. When you approach conversations with genuine curiosity about the other person’s point of view, you will not only have a more productive conversation, but build the trust needed for the work ahead.
These ideas and techniques are popular as they are accessible and relatively easy to adopt.
New approach to change in the education sector focuses on Adaptation as the new skill. The three imperatives: Leadership, Collaboration and Communication to address the networked environment.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. The success
rate for large,
bureacratic
change efforts
is alarmingly
low
“The measure of
intelligence is the
ability to change.”
Albert Einstein.
3. We Need Change Literacy
• Openness to change
• Inclusivity
• Problem solving
• Vision and purpose
• Leadership
• Risk management
• Effective communication
• Empathy
• Resilience
• Adaptability
• Etc.
4. Change is constant....
• Think of a change challenge you’ve
faced in your school or district.
• How did you go about solving it?
• Who was involved?
• How long did it take?
• What resources did you use?
• Were you successful?
• Why/why not?
5. Let’s unpack it further...
• What did you do to bring people
with you?
• What did you do when you
encountered resistance?
• How did you enable the change,
and make it sustainable?
6. Imagine if...
Now think about something you’ve
heard about at this conference – a
new approach, innovative idea etc.
• Imagine how you might bring this
back into your context?
• Where would you begin?
• Who would you involve?
• How would you make the change?
7. Why we need to change the way we change
From:
Bureacratic change programme
q Centralised - Initiatives and priorities set
at the top.
q Chain of command – Most leaders
delegate the functions of project rollout.
q Direct persuasion – Convincing people
why they need to change is the default
method of influence.
q Task-driven innovation – Innovation is
project-driven. Projects stall, then die.
q Localised – Purpose and priorities are the
outcome of an organisation-wide conversation
q Chain of trust – Successful leaders are humble
and curious. They promote experimentation.
q Self-persuasion – helping people convince
themselves is the default form of influence.
Resistance is minimal.
q Experiment-driven innovation – The orgnaisation
becomes a learning laboratory.
To:
Distributed, community-driven change platform
9. FRICTION FREE TRANSFORMATION
Stage 1: Build buy-in
Engage Others
Determine who you need to
collaborate with
Eliminate Resistance
Help people convince themselves
Map Landscape
Pinpoint the problems and
bright spots
Identify the key players and
stakeholders
Eliminate push-back by helping people
discover their own reasons for
supporting the project
10. Build buy in
Stop selling your ideas. Help people convince themselves
Trust
Choice
Motivation
vs
Friction-free Change
Self-persuasion: help people
convince themselves
Conventional Change
Direct persuasion: convince people to
change
“I trust my own reasons”
“I’m free to choose”
I’m motivated to say yes quicker and
commit for longer
“I’m septical; about other
people’s motives.”
”You’re telling me what to
do!”
”I actively resist or defer
actions.”
11. What would you do?
• Two girls fighting over a single
orange
• How would you resolve this?
It’s mine!
But I want it!
12. Here’s how it went down...
• Halving the orange was fair,
but not optimal
• Leading change always
involves negotiation
14. FRICTION FREE TRANSFORMATION
Stage 2: Remove Roadblocks
Overcome Inertia
Frame your novel ideas as familiar and friendly
Generate Confidence
Build self-belief
Remove Sludge
Make it easy to do what matters most
Making it easier for people to make the
changes
Involves:
• Identifying roadblocks
• Identify the drivers of intertia
• Taking action to remove what is
inhibiting change
17. Answer this....
If you were to do everything
required of you by the federal
legislation, by the state
requirements and by your district –
attending to every request and
every detail – how much time
would you have left for teaching?
18. How difficult or easy is it for you?
1. Completing all of the written planning and reporting
requirements in my school.
2. Catering for the diversity of needs and interests of my
students.
3. Addressing behaviour issues in my classroom.
4. Accessing the resources I need to support my
teaching programmes.
5. Finding time for professional reading and improving
my professional knowledge.
6. Having my voice heard when contemplating any
change opportunties.
19. Embrace Experimentation
• Create a culture of experimentation
where you can ‘test and learn’
• Get rid of the unnecessary stuff
• Share your successes
20. FRICTION FREE TRANSFORMATION
Stage 3: Embrace Experimentation
Scale,share and Sustain
Multiply your impact.
Leave a legacy.
Test and Learn
Make experimentation a core capability
Subtract
Remove, reduce, recycle
Experimentation is the only
way to adapt faster than
the rate of change.
Traditional change
processes become too slow
to fail!
23. What did you notice?
Students not attending class or
not engaging online.
Students will become more
engaged if parents are supporting
them at home.
Consider parents as partners in this
process – part of their learning team
in support of their child.
Building relationships with parents
in order to gain their support of
learners in the home environment.
Regular one-on-one phone calls to parents
Provision of learning tasks and resources for use at home.
Students still need reminders and routines –
relying on the teacher for direction.
Parents empowered to support learners
once they understand the purpose.
Making access to online environment a
natural part of every day experience to
empower them to work independently.
Use multiple ways of connecting with
parents.
Changes not yet embedded fully –
need to continue for another year.

24. The Experiment Planner
• Serves as a guide to the planning
conversation
• Not to be used for compliance
• Identifies the key decision points in
the experimental process
• Provides a point of reflection at
regular points through the process
– for review and adjustment
