This document discusses managing change in libraries. It notes that the only constant is change and libraries must adapt to changes in society, their sector, and workplaces. It provides strategies for coping with and influencing change, including becoming informed, joining conversations, exerting influence in areas of concern, developing change management plans, and lifelong learning. The key message is that libraries and individuals must be proactive and open to change to remain relevant in an evolving world.
Tweaked version of Managing for Change , originally presented at Ikaroa Professional Development Weekend 2010. This presentation was given to Horowhenua staff in April 2011 to kick off the development of personal development plans in preparation for a 'service rethink' for Te Takere, the new culture and community centre being built in Levin.
This keynote delivered in Arkansas at the TNT conference is a motivational approach of looking at change and technology from a classroom teacher who is collaborating globally and using many leading (and older) technology tools.

"Innovation" and "Rural" are not perceived as compatible terms. Why is this, and how can we change it? How can we build creative rural communities that produce more creative people and more innovations that drive opportunities in rural places?
Considered Creativity - How To Supercharge Your Ideas To Drive Better ResultsNoisy Little Monkey
These are Kisty Hulse's slides from the Digital Gaggle conference in Bristol on Thursday 19th September 2019.
Kirsty is founder of Roar! Training, corporate conference training which levels the playing field. Her talk helped attendees understand how to develop more creative campaigns which resonate with audiences.
Cultivating FQ- Future Intelligence Quotient - Anticipatory thinking and making intelligent decisions in the present that will ensure value over the LONG term.
In this talk, I applied the conversation to the forces that have created irreversible shift; what the implications are for the way in which work will happen in the future, and what skill sets will ensure the best chances of success.
What happens when everyone’s on Facebook? How in particular is the natural wish of young people to have their own places and cultures manifesting itself digitally? Moreover, how are we all changing our behaviour in light the data that we’re increasingly aware we give up when we use social sites? Is the often cited, rarely challenged belief that young people don't care about privacy actually true? How are kids coping with a world where they are growing up in public? Are the scare stories true, or is something more subtle emerging?
We look at Tumblr, Instagram and Snapchat amongst others for clues to how behaviour is changing and - what this means for the audience, the networks and brands. We examine how a far more nuanced contract between these groups is being negotiated - and how to thrive in this emerging world. How do brands cope with younger groups sophistication when it comes to being marketed to - particularly given the huge global demographic shift due to take place, with over 50% of world's population due shortly to be under 25.
No other system is as complex and adaptable as the human brain. Studying the brains of creative geniuses like da Vinci yields insights into how visionaries respond to complexity and create world-changing innovations. Exceptional imagination and performance comes from the ability to access different ways of thinking, to see the interconnectedness of everything, and to reach different states of consciousness. In this talk we explore how we might apply an understanding of the neurobiology of genius to both organizational structures and behavior. When the ‘neurobiology’ of the organization has been seeded and guided just so, workplaces of extraordinary creativity and adaptability emerge. Dan invites attendees to imagine ways to apply these ideas to the evolution of their enterprises, networks, and even themselves.

Cost effectiveness of Open Source development for Horowhenua Library Trust.Joann Ransom
In 1983 I was quoted $3,000 to have a wedding dress made by a bridal shop in Wellington – no way my Mum could afford that dress. We would have to make it ourselves.
So we went into Fitzroy’s, an old fashioned draper's shop in Levin, and within minutes of hearing that I was marrying a local lad, “Nancy’s boy”, we were surrounded by a clutch of woman: comparing fabrics, discussing how to adapt the paper pattern, which lace, what size seed pearls etc … I’m sure you get the picture.
That dress turned out heaps better than anything I was thinking of – and saved us a fortune too!
That was my first grownup experience of crowd-sourcing, ‘group think, community consultation, collaborative design – call it what you will. What I learnt that day was the power of community ownership, adaptation and the sheer power of collaboration.
These are key concepts in the open source world.

Make sustainability sustainable (preview)Fan Foundry
Marketing "green" products often backfires because, much as we'd like all buyers to follow the altruistic "because green is better" thinking, other unaddressed factors intervene to short circuit that thinking, with the result that sustainable solutions fail to gain traction in the hearts and minds of buyers. But it doesn't have to be that way.
This Powerpoint offers ways libararies can promote their digital collections and library services through word of mouth marketing. Content is adapted from the book Contagious by Jonah Berger
What is the most effective way to create a motivating shared vision, and put legs to it? This webinar is for people who want to build productive and unified teams, without having to pull rank, nag, gang up against, or bribe anyone.
Judith will offer an overview of concepts along with several specific tools you can immediately use to promote dialogue and engagement among groups of stakeholders, such as staff, clients and volunteers.
This webinar will empower you to empower the groups you work with.
Today many of the same techniques that Packard warned about sixty years ago in his classic "The Hidden Persuaders" are being used without hesitation to persuade users of digital products to subscribe, click, scroll, buy, invite and more. The same people who claim a user-centric mindset have no second thoughts when using learnings from psychology to obviously steer users towards desired behaviours.
In this talk I give examples of growing problem areas and and describe how designers need to take more responsibility for the well-being and autonomy of users, as well as some practical ways this could play out. There is a cost to doing the right thing, but there are also rarely measured human costs that we are already paying dearly for. By showcasing these costs of the different paths available to us we can boost the incentive to include more conscious, moral decision-making in the design process.

Editor's Notes
Big picture first – the context in which we operate : SocietyA project of the Library Council of New South WalesProject to explore how NSW public libraries might develop over next 20 yearsBuilt scenarios to stimulate reflection about what the future could holdInfluences to consider
Built scenarios to stimulate reflection about what the future could hold, 2 influences define the axis:Vertical axis : the impact of ict on the environment running from chaotic to orderlyHorizontal axis: the way users value libraries running from high value as a physical space to low at the other end.
Community engagement
Ok – so that’s the Society ring of the spheres of influenceBut one last thought on that – never be afraid of an unknown futureLets work our way back in through the spheres now
Public Libraries in NZ : what are the big themes we need to work in with?
Total issues over last 7 years – been a steady increase over last 3 1/5 yearsLooks good yes – pretty positive ? About 4% - 5 % increase each year over last couple of years
But lets look a little closerThe only category on the rise is audio visual – DVDsThis months ALJ illustrates this trend even more graphically:Seattle public library:2002 AV = 19% of circulation2009 AV = 49%But …… DVDs are a dying technology …….
So lets look at our last month figures – our best month ever in about a decadeWe are in a golden age – last 2 years for us have been great – issues up and visitors up.
But we know that big areas are fallingLets talk about issues of physical library materials DVD is a dying technology – we just won’t have those in a few yearsAnd TBs too – digital and free downloads and file sharing Lets imagine that ebooks will start making inroads in print loans:Say 50% of non fiction / informational (how is your JNF issuing ? It will be falling rapidly..)But lets say only 30% for recreational fiction to be conservativeAnd lets not touch LP at allSo whats left …
What happens as your large print readers start dying off and our tech savvy baby boomers start coming of age … you can kiss that pale blue segment goodbye too.That big white ‘missing’ space of library activity is what we have to fill with ‘something else’.
So our primary core role of issuing books and stuffs is changing drastically,So are our traditional core roles:How many of these are disappearing?
You have little ability to make change what happening in the sector but some ..You need to keep informed so you can contribute intelligently and react appropriately;you may not be able to manage what is happening but you can contribute to how the sector responds, think about the future of libraries at ‘large’ then ‘local’ - in your communityAnd there is a tipping point where if enough people feel the same way about something they can change things – be opinionated – use your voice – 1 voice can make a difference.At the minimum make sure what every you ‘do’ fits into the big plan or strategySo that’s the sector
Ok – so that’s the Sector ring of the spheres of influenceAgain – never be afraid of an unknown future:Lets look at the next ring in – your place
You can exert real influence in your place – be in your community, organisation or workplace Is your library community representative of your community demographically?Who is using your library?How are they using it?Can they ‘relate’ to your organisation, your staff? You need to skilled in the stuff they are want to do.
We have to be relevant to that generation – as well as the baby boomers – and it is a big tension.
So this is the area you do have influence and can manageContribute to the parent kaupapa – you have to be relevant to your fundersHDC : consciously trying to attract young / families:And make Horowhenuaa great place to grow up in and grow old in
Organisational culture is important in managing change,And as individuals you can contribute to that ‘culture’.
External strategiesoperate in and above the fray – detach, view big picture, whats REALLY happeningcourt the uncommitted – acknowledge the pain / loss, stress your commitment to change, lead by example.court the conflict – manage the heat, turn it up when appropriate to get things jumping then tweak back,place the work where it belongs – don’t solve the problems – others need to own the problems and solutions.Internal strategiesManage your hungersControl –its important to work through stress to get real changeImportance - , a degree of self doubt is healthy,Anchor yourself1. safe harbour (steady and stabilize yourself, repair / renew / rrecalibrate moral compass,2. Confidant : no vested interest Separate your personal and professonal identities (role not soul) its not personal.
Ok – so that’s the Sector ring of the spheres of influenceAgain – never be afraid of an unknown future:
I have shown you how society is changing – we don’t know yet in exactly what way but somewhere among those scenarios our future lies,The library sector as a whole is shifting – outsourcing, consortia, sharing, digital, library as the 3rd place, We have to reinvent a niche for our libraries in our communities in a way which is relevant to the communities we serve.Really exciting – if you are prepared and equipped.
To manage the changes ahead you need to take control, make a plan and start exerting influence.Sometimesoon, maybe even this weekend, you need to take a long hard look at yourself and your organisation and make a plan for managing the changes ahead.A great career does not happen by accident!
How do you prepare for an unknown future?Library 101 project Essays on future of libraries : what they see changing in libraries and what we need to be doing to ensure we remain relevant as technology and society evolveand links to 101 online resources and tools - fantastic site even though the song is dorky
Professional development is your responsibility – not your employers. No one cares more about it or has more at risk or more to gain than YOU.
Just say yesSurround yourself with positive inspiring role models who do really cool stuff
