The document discusses an approach to organizational change management that focuses on genuine engagement and commitment from individuals. It argues traditional top-down approaches often lead to mediocre results. The approach presented aims to equip managers and frontline staff to embrace change through tailored workshops and interventions. These help people understand why change is needed, feel passionate about the benefits, and empower teams to own the implementation. The goal is to challenge projects to demonstrate an engagement-led, human-centered process for achieving objectives.

Changing the mood for change – how to tackle the ‘tough four’ emotional states that make effective change harder to achieve webinar
Tuesday 24 January 2023
APM Enabling Change Specific Interest Group
Presented by:
Rebecca Collings and Matt Lawrence

https://www.apm.org.uk/news/changing-the-mood-for-change-how-to-tackle-the-tough-four-emotional-states-that-make-effective-change-harder-to-achieve-webinar/
Content description:
In this webinar we looked into the ‘tough four’ emotional states which can inhibit the progress, pace and success of any change or project.
According to Prosci, at least 80% of project benefits are dependent on people changing their ways of working.
We discussed these ‘tough four’ within the context of a project environment. By understanding what drives them, how to spot them and how you can mitigate or manage them, project managers and change leaders will be better placed to face the ‘tough four’ down. Resistance to change is often deeply rooted in people’s natural behaviour and mindset – understanding this is critical to leading people through change successfully.
This session was aimed at an audience seeking to learn more about how to manage change and to discuss the practical ways in which we can overcome resistance.
The session was presented by a small panel of experienced change and project management professionals.
When training is reactionary, boring, irrelevant and inapplicable to the job, what does an organisation do? It is faced with a dilemma and needs to find a way to justify training spend. Our process to transform your team in one week called SPEEDChange® is the answer to the training that never really brings the ROI. Change In A Week™ when training is simply not enough.
Avanza Case Study - Agile Transformation with Customer Focus Mia Kolmodin
Avanza is a tech company with bank licence (you can call them a bank) here in Stockholm. A few years back they started their journey from a traditional silos based organization to a cross functional product organization organized around the customer journey - IT, Product, Marketing and Operations working as one. Here we want to share their story with you that we also had the pleasure to be a small part of.
Background
“Avanza's development organization has grown from 7 to 16 teams during the last 4 years. Great fun, of course, but it also required some prerequisites.
In the fall of 2016, our lead times increased significantly, we had many cross-dependencies between the teams; and, we began to see early signs that our team's motivation was suffering. We were not sure why this was because we had been working in an agile way for over 10 years. We needed to take the next step.
During the past year we have learned a great deal. Based on that, we have created a new team structure that follows our customer's journey and value streams. This new structure includes 16 autonomous teams with end-to-end responsibilities, with clear missions; and, that are linked to our vision. The teams also have responsibility for all channels and have the skills required to deliver on their missions.”
The Avanza product organization is about 200 people (IT/Product/Marketing/Operations)
RESULTS
- Decreased Time to Market, from 5,9 teams involved in a delivery to 1,2 in average
- Increased Strategic Flexibility, Team Missions connected to Customer Journey and
- Feature Teams enable strategic and tactical adjustments along the way
- Happy & Empowered Employees - Teams feeling like a startup. Owns the budget, learning about customer needs, delivering on all touch points and optimizing towards the business strategy.
- Happier Stakeholders - Involved with the teams work & understand the structure of the org

Effective Change Management:
The Simple Truth
I
n a previous life I remember
walking into my new boss's
office for my induction talk
- it was my first day of my first
people management job and
I was full of excitement and
anticipation. Then he sat me
down and said: "Your job is
to get the unwilling to do the
impossible for the ungrateful."
I nearly turned around
and walked back out the
door! If we put our hands
on our hearts how many of
us would admit that change
management sometimes
feels like this? A recent
change management study
by Towers Watson surveyed
over 600 organisations that
have recently gone through
significant change and
unearthed the practices that
are at the heart of effective
change management. They are
simple truths and can make
the difference between success
and failure in many cases, but
evidence suggests that they
are often forgotten when in
the midst of a challenging
change project.
It is a fact that change is
a constant reality for any
organisation looking to
survive and thrive in these
turbulent and uncertain
times. When you boil it
up, change is about doing
things differently or doing
different things. Whether
you have to change, help
others change or define what
the change is, we all have a
vested interest in getting it
right. Our recently published
research shines a light on
what those organisations
that are effective at change
management have in common
when it comes to managing
change. So bearing this in
mind, the first issue to put to
bed is what do we mean here
when we say 'effective change
management'? In a nutshell,
if change programmes
achieve their stated goals on
time and within budget and
deliver sustainable benefit
then that would fit most
people's definition. We used
this definition to classify
organisations that are really
good at change management
and then looked at what they
did well in comparison with
their peers.
Significantly and perhaps
not surprisingly, we also
found that those businesses
that plan and execute change
well are also the ones that
are outperforming their
peers when it comes to
bottom line performance.
Companies highly effective
at both communication and
other change management
activities are 2.5 times as likely
to outperform their peers that
are not highly effective in
either area.
So considering the
prevalence of change -
and the effect of change
management on bottom-line
performance - there are plenty
of reasons to take a hard look
at how those organisations
are approaching change
management and to learn the
lessons.
From our research we
found that the following
are self-evidently true
Effective change management
is a little bit art and a little
bit science. The best change
practitioners balance rational,
data driven approaches with
a deep understanding of
emotional drivers. It's about
understanding the unique
needs of the business and its
people and then applying
insight and the right tools
to deliver the change. It is.
1. Your business is changing, changing is our business “ Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has” – Winston Churchill
2. Teamworking exists to challenge the outcomes and methods of ‘traditional’ organisational change management……. Projects that deliver mediocre successes Top down driven approaches Talk of ‘Buy-in’ but no genuine engagement Briefings, reports, emails and information Resistance is ignored or crushed Inconsistency of implementation Process only focus Reluctant acceptance by the people that matter Unmemorable experiences
3. Our purpose is to……. We work with organisations, teams and individuals to embrace change and deliver something exceptional We create the ‘committed individuals’ needed to successfully implement change projects We do this by generating genuine engagement in change
4.
5. Sounds good, how do we do it? Throughout the life of your change project we create appropriate interventions to educate, encourage, support and inspire the people who are implementing the change. We use a multitude of techniques, both traditional and innovative to keep the project moving in a positive direction. At no time do we lose focus of the end goal Delivery Plan Workshops Pre-work Phone Coaching Papers Face2Face Communities Email Coaching PR Stakeholder Engagement Web Stuff E-Rollout Planning Sustainability Review

Lets learn the business rules first Seeing The vision of the change has to be seen, rather than talked about The audience has to relate the change to their situation Living You may remember presentations and words, but to make the most impact we must feel! Teamworking create simulations and work scenarios to practice the change safely Owning For teams to truly embrace change they need to own it We work on strategies and support mechanisms to allow teams to solve their own problems and take responsibility for delivery
10. How we work Think Build Target Getting the right audience to engage with your project is critical. We identify the most suitable roles to target for engagement We begin with your business objectives and KPIs and work backwards to determine exactly where the engagement is needed on your project Every project is different and every Teamworking solution is unique.
