Existing change management techniques and
methodologies are good.
But they need to be used in combination with
each other for best results.
It’s early days yet for modern management
● < 50 years
● Approaches are all good
● Focused on one aspect of change
● And on one area of the organisation
The goals
What are we trying to achieve?
● We need to adapt continuously
● We need to be productive
● We need to be happy
Happiness
In fact studies show that if we are happy we will
do great work and be more productive
(Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose ~ Dan Pink).
Where to start
● Start where you are, with the people you
have and the structure you have (Kanban
Method).
● Change is hard (Kahneman) so do it by
small incremental steps.
● What’s in it for me?
What to change
Change is not just for production, all levels
need to change:
● Finance and leadership: Beyond Budgeting
● Management: Kanban Method, self
organised teams
● Production: agile (Kanban, Scrum, Lean)
Values
The most important things to get right are
values and purpose:
● Trust
● Autonomy
● Vision
● Shared goals
● Shared rewards
An organisation is like a human body, it needs
to be healthy on the inside to be healthy and
wealthy on the outside.
Organisational health
If one wants to be slimmer and healthier it is
best to adapt one’s lifestyle rather than go on a
crash diet.
Prepare your organisation for constant change
not a big bang.
Measure
Most companies say they care about their
health but they only tend to measure wealth.
Measure your organisational health.
Happiness
Happiness is not a reachable state it is a state of being.
You can be happy whilst changing, enjoy the moment
(Epicureans, Flow)
In summary
● Values are more important than techniques
● Learn/try several techniques
● Foster a culture of learning
● Foster a culture of the team
● Have a shared vision and purpose
● Share the rewards
The traditional definition of management is:
Getting work done through people.
It should be:
Developing people through work.
