J-Curve - Transforming through Change

Different!
Virginia Satir Model
Hints:
1. Question this approach for a social system. Instead
2. Question high failure rates of Change Initiatives
Apply more differentiated views instead!

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Introduction We help our clients to use various methods, such as Scrum, Kanban, Innovation Technologies etc, in order to achieve Agility. But this is not limited to Agility we know from the Manifesto. Why? Let‘s face reality. Smartphone – showing as exampel It is not about the brand, ist about the functionality Can buy a flight ticket Can order and pay a taxi Can check the stock exchange and the weather Can check, which of my friends is nearby Can exchange rich media Can talk via whatsup  Basically unlimited options of this device Now think 10 years back Smartphones were rare Most of us had phones we could use for phoning It is probably no coincidence, that telco companies, who were leaders 10 years ago, who provided the best technology of these days, don‘t play the same important role in the smartphone market anymore ---------- Praxisbeispiele, wie die beiden „Antriebsaggregate“ effektiv miteinander angesteuert werden können, so dass Innovation und Verbesserung in einer Organisation koexistieren können Führungskräfte und Change Agents hören, was es bedeutet, die zwei durchwegs unterschiedlichen Paradigmen in Einklang zu bringen, miteinander im Verbund zu betreiben, über die möglichen Blockaden und förderliche Erfolgsfaktoren
  • #3 Story: Digitalization, big buzzword, but about to basically turn around each and every industry 180 degrees We can not even foresee, what the future will be about But what we see is different types of business possible with lowest transaction and marginal cost (mobile, data, ressources, global workforce etc) Different assumptions of customers / maybe consumers about quality of services Different assumptions of young people, what to expect from workplace Most established organizahtions not fit for this And 1000s of startups around the globe working on disrupting industries, backed by big money Social Media, Airbnb, Uber, Tesla, just tiny examples, If we just lock at blockchain technology, possibly making banks redundant in the future Story about my train ride from Vienna today. All trains delayed. Always required not only to look for alternative, but also to take other destination train-station. Different quality of train. Focus: arriving at the conference, it not on time, then at least asap (for listening & talking with people) and giving my talk.
  • #4 Lets start with Operational Excellence first, And that‘s where the Agile Manifesto can help us a lot to understand, where we come from
  • #6 Crossing arms exercise What change actually needs: Attitude, Behavior , Climate
  • #10 Asking the audience: Anybody recently gone through a bigger change? Maybe even through an Agile Transformation? Anybody in the middle of it? How did it go? Thumbs up? Issues? J-Curve myth Problem with: Installed change Shu-Ha-Ri
  • #12 A change approach has to adapt to context, environment, people / individuals Change is of course not a purpose itself Transformational change is usually even not about a specific target, but rather about growing capabilit
