THE IMPERATIVE TO CHANGE
CONTINUALLY
• There is less resistance when employees understand that change is
a continuous process, not only in your company, but in every
company today.

WHAT IS CHANGE MANAGEMENT?
A repeatable process to define needed
changes to an organization and its
performance by engaging those who know,
care, or must act, the stakeholders, in the
design, implementation and evaluation of
those changes in order to achieve the
desired results.

WHAT THE RESEARCH
TELLS US

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 22


• About three-quarters of change efforts either
fail to deliver the anticipated benefits or are
abandoned entirely.
• But poor execution is only part of the problem;
the authors’ four-year study of 62 corporate
transformations suggests that misdiagnosis is
equally to blame.

Executive teams need to figure out …
what to change
Strategy
—in particular, what to change first. They can do this by fully
understanding three things:
1. the catalyst for transformation, Stakeholder Analysis
2. the organization’s underlying quest (is it global presence,
customer focus, nimbleness, innovation, or
sustainability?), that will create value…and the
3. leadership capabilities needed to see it through. Leaders
who can innovate and execute

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 24


“As the shelf life of business strategies grows
shorter, a corporation’s transformation capability
becomes its only enduring advantage.”

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 25


• Data from more than 100 companies. the basic goal has been
the same: to make fundamental changes in how business is
conducted in order to help cope with a new, more challenging
market environment.

1. The most general lesson to be learned from the
more successful cases is that the change process
goes through a series of phases that, in total,
usually require a considerable length of time.
Skipping steps creates only the illusion of speed
and never produces a satisfying result.

2. A second very general lesson is that critical


mistakes in any of the phases can have a
devastating impact, slowing momentum and
negating hard-won gains. Perhaps because we
have relatively little experience in renewing
organizations, even very capable people often
make at least one big error.
©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 27
WHY CHANGE EFFORTS FAIL
1. Not Establishing a Great Enough Sense of Urgency (Need real
Change Champions!)
2. Not Creating a Powerful Enough Guiding Coalition
3. Lacking a Vision (Head and Heart)
4. Under communicating the Vision by a Factor of Ten
5. Not Removing Obstacles to the New Vision (dis-incentives)
6. Not Systematically Planning for, and Creating, Short-Term
Wins
7. Declaring Victory Too Soon
8. Not Anchoring Changes in the Corporation’s Culture (Culture is
“sticky”, change the social system)

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 28


”We defined “transformation” as a fundamental shift in
the way that an organization conducts business, resulting
in economic or social impact.”

1. Transformation is even harder than we thought. The


authors examined 128 global companies that had
undergone transformation between 2016 and 2020
and found that only 22% of companies in their sample
were successful

2. How companies engage their employees can be the


difference between success and failure. Successful
companies shared a common focus on initiatives that
prioritized employees, including DE&I programs and
support for women managers’ careers, in addition to
competitive pay and access to health care

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 29


When we looked more closely at the 28 most successful transformers,
we identified six attributes — most of which are related to employee
compensation and DE&I — that set them apart from the rest of the
pack:
• Employee Pay: These employees were compensated more highly
compared to those at companies of a similar size.
• Employee Stock Options: Employees at these companies receive
more stock options compared to those at companies of a similar size.
• Employee Satisfaction: Employees at these companies report higher
satisfaction at work.
• Diversity and Inclusivity: These companies employ hiring practices
with an eye toward equity.
• Women Managers: These companies employ more women in
managerial positions
• Women Employees: Women make up a higher share of employees at
these companies.

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 30


PEOPLE ARE THE CATALYSTS OF
SUCCESSFUL TRANSFORMATION
• The implications of our findings are clear: Companies have a
better chance at success if they focus on their people during
transformation.
• What’s more, the type of employee engagement made the
difference between top-tier performance and not. Companies
that prioritized attributes that are fundamentally related to
employee engagement, such as diversity & inclusion, in
addition to traditional benefits, such as compensation or
health care, saw stronger reputations and greater financial
returns than other organizations.

New research from leaders at Infosys indicates that across a variety
of industries, lasting, long-term change is most effective when it
occurs over a series of smaller micro changes. The authors identify
three strategies for successful microchange management:

1. Deconstruct big change into small


steps,
2. Change behavior through small
modifications to habits and routines,
3. Continuously measure, learn, and
evolve.
February 27, 2023 33
©Lawrence M. Miller
We call this approach micro change
management, or “micro is the new
mega.”

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 34


We found that a persistent set of small,
orchestrated changes is the best approach to
drive large and lasting change at an organization.
These small changes, when made continuously
over a period of time, have a compounding
effect that drives larger change and
transformation.

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 35


Micro change management is based on human
motivation and behavioral theory — Daily short
stand-up meetings ensure change initiatives stay in
sync with rapidly evolving needs, and require
smaller benchmarks to measure progress. The sum
of many micro changes brings about the larger
change, creating a cumulative effect that delivers
nonlinear improvements with greater likelihood of
overall success.

• “Executives use different approaches in different parts of the organization,
which compounds the turmoil that usually accompanies change.”
• In recent years, many change management gurus have focused on soft
issues, such as culture, leadership, and motivation. Such elements are
important for success, but managing these aspects alone isn’t sufficient to
implement transformation projects.
• What’s missing, we believe, is a focus on the not-so-fashionable aspects of
change management: the hard factors. If companies don’t pay attention to
the hard issues first, transformation programs will break down before the
soft elements come into play.

HBR STUDY OF 225 CHANGE EFFORTS
When the authors studied change initiatives at 225 companies,
they found a consistent correlation between the outcomes of
change programs (success versus failure) and four hard factors,
which they called DICE: project *duration,* particularly the time
between project reviews; *integrity of performance,* or the
capabilities of project teams; the level of *commitment* of senior
executives and staff; and the additional *effort* required of
employees directly affected by the change.

LEWIN’S 3 PHASES
1958
Stage 1 - Unfreezing: This is the first stage of transition and one of
the most critical stages in the entire process of change management.
It involves improving the readiness as well as the willingness of
people to change by fostering a realization for moving from the
existing comfort zone to a transformed situation. It involves making
people aware of the need for change and improving their motivation
for accepting the new ways of working for better results.
Stage 2 - Change: This stage can also be regarded as the stage of Transition or
the stage of actual implementation of change. It involves the acceptance of the
new ways of doing things.

Stage 3 - Freeze (Refreezing): During this stage, the people move from the
stage of transition (change) to a much more stable state which we can regard
as the state of equilibrium. The stage of Refreezing is the ultimate stage in
which people accept or internalize the new ways of working or change, accept
it as a part of their life and establish new relationships.

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 46


WHAT “UNFREEZES?”
• Crisis – Creates Urgency
• Clarity of Future State Vision – Leadership
• Active Engagement in Current State Analysis
• Scanning the Environment and Listening to Stakeholders
• Participation in Design

©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 47


CHANGE AND REFREEZING

• Lewin does not provide a detailed guide to design or implementation


of change.

• Refreezing is simply building new habits through behavioral


definitions, practice, feedback and reinforcement.

EVERY SYSTEM IS A SUB-SYSTEM
OF A LARGER SYSTEM

• Dis-aggregating whole-
systems leads to failure.
• Failing to understand the
adaptation to the
environment and alignment
of the sub-systems can lead
to death. A change in one
system requires alignment of
other systems.

©Lawrence M. Miller 55 February 27, 2023


PRINCIPLES OF STS DESIGN
• The work system, a functioning whole, now became the
basic unit of focus rather than single tasks and jobs.
• The work group was central rather than the individual
job-holder.
• Internal regulation of the work system by the work group
was possible and effective, rather than the external
regulation of individuals by supervisors.
• Work teams developed members who were multi-skilled,
therefore more flexible and capable of self-regulation.
• The discretionary, rather than the prescribed, aspect of
the work was valued.
• The team structure increased the variety of work done by
individuals, thereby increasing intrinsic motivation.

   February 27, 2023 56


SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS…
• Are adaptive to their environment.
• Are aligned to the macro systems of which they are a sub-
system.
• Are aligned internally – reduced internal friction that consumes
energy (waste!).
• Sustainable systems reduce the consumption of energy, all
kinds, and are, therefore, lean.
• Sustainable systems meet the needs of all stakeholders
(reduce external friction) and are sustainable for the long term.

©Lawrence M. Miller 57 February 27, 2023


TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE MANAGEMENT
REQUIRES SYSTEMS THINKING

• It is about Systems Thinking


• It is about engaging ALL stakeholders in the creation of process
and organization to enable that process – Habit for Humanity
Principle.
• It is about a change process that results in successful
implementation because it is owned by those who do the work!
• It is about strategic change, not tools and tactics.
• It is about sustainability.
• It is about organizational capabilities.
• It is about Whole-System Architecture.

©Lawrence M. Miller 58 February 27, 2023


WHAT CONTROLS HUMAN PERFORMANCE - KNOWLEDGE AND
SKILLS; OR, SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURE?

• When we implement lean do we assume that training is the


answer, or do we consider the impact of systems and structure?

©Lawrence M. Miller 59 February 27, 2023


WHOLE-SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE IS ALL OF THESE
CHANGE MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES.
THE GOAL IS LEAN.

• Socio-technical system design. (Emery and Trist)


• Systems-thinking. (Senge, Ackoff)
• Idealized design. (Ackoff, Magidson)
• Interactive planning (Ackoff)
• Re-engineering (Hammer & Champy)
• Appreciative inquiry (Cooperrider)
• High-performance organization design (Lytle)

WHAT IS A PROCESS MAP?
• Just like a map of highways and geography…
• It is a visual display of how things get done from input to output.
• It may be high level, with few details, or it may be very detailed with

THE FLOW OF THE WORK…

• Continuous Improvement is about the flow of the work, from


suppliers to customers, and creating the ideal flow that will create
the most value for your customers. The ideal process is so lacking in
interruptions that it feels natural - it flows.
• Think about the fast-break in basketball or the pit stop in auto
racing. These are processes that become “flow” for the participants.

WHAT IS A VARIANCE?
A variance is the difference between how things are
done, or the results being achieved, and how things
should be done and the results we want to achieve.

A Variance may be an unwanted statistical variation or
a variance from ideal.
• Variances may be quality defects.
• Variances may be from standard
operating performance.
• They may be variances from customer
satisfaction requirements.
• Variances in costs of production or
service delivery.
• They may be variances from our
principles.
• Variances in behavior or standard
work.
©Lawrence M. Miller February 27, 2023 141
COSTS OF VARIATION: WHY DOES IT MATTER?

• Imagine that you drive to work, an average of 30 minutes. If you can


always get to work within 25 to 35 minutes. But, what changes occur
is sometimes it takes 20 minutes, but sometimes it takes 60
minutes? What is the cost of the increase in variability.
• Now apply this principle to your work process.

groups but decide to join one, you cut your risk of
dying over the next year in half. If you smoke and
belong to no groups, it’s a toss-up statistically
whether you should stop smoking or start joining.”
