How to create a culture of transformational change
- 1. Creating a Culture of Transformational Change A Realworld Perspective
- 2. The Business Case: pressure to make financial savings ? recognise that transformational change is what is really needed ? already restructured to reduce headcount ?
- 3. Your Current State? Frustrated with regard to the slow pace of change ? Lots of inertia in the organisation - managers are not proactively promoting the need for change ? Discussions around change are focussing on the ‘process’ elements of change rather than actually implementing change ?

Discussions around change are focussing on the ‘process’ elements of change rather than actually implementing change ? Why isn’t it happening fast enough??!!
- 5. The Psychology of Transformational Change: Transformation requires people to make a step change to the way they do things. But people are creatures of habit, they do not change behaviour spontaneously. ‘The way we do things around here’ is the simple definition of culture. Culture is reinforced by leadership behaviour - how leaders behave is modelled by everyone else in the organisation. Therefore, successful transformation can only happen with a step change in leadership behaviour.

Changing structure without changing behaviours may result in fewer roles, but it will also result in the same old ways of working. Transformation Strategy:
- 7. Transformation Strategy: 1. Right people 2. Right culture 3. Right structure 1. Define the behaviours that will create the culture required for future success. 2. Appoint the right leaders and ensure they are demonstrating those behaviours 3. Help those leaders restructure by assessing people for behavioural/cultural fit. 4. Reinforce behaviour through the performance management, recruitment, training, and talent management processes.
Editor's Notes
- Welcome to a realworld perspective on transformational change. Our work supporting Councils with restructuring over the last few months has highlighted that even though they may have gone through periods of restructuring to save cost, they are not seeing the efficiency improvements that were hoped for. This presentation is intended to provide some explanation why that is likely to be the case and outline how we can help.
- Many Councils: are facing increasing pressure to make financial savings. have gone through previous rounds of restructuring to reduce headcount but recognise that they will need to pursue further change in order to meet these financial challenges and continue to provide services as efficiently as possible.
- Some of the symptoms you may be experiencing are frustration at senior levels of the Council with regard to the slow pace of change a sense that there is a lot of inertia in the organisation - managers are not proactively promoting the need for change? even though discussions around transformation may be taking place, these are tending to focus on the ‘process’ elements of change rather than actually implementing change.

- Well, the answers lie in human nature....the logic goes something like this: Transformation requires people to make a step change to the way they do things. But people are creatures of habit, they do not change behaviour spontaneously. ‘The way we do things around here’ is the simple definition of culture. Culture is reinforced by leadership behaviour - how leaders behave is modelled by everyone else in the organisation.
