What does this mean for how we deliver change initiatives?
Collaboration and co-creation are important: Extremely successful transformations were planned by 50 or more peopleMcKinsey Quarterly, What successful transformations share, Keller, Meaney & Pung, March 2010
• Clarity and common understanding of the strategic objective (and maintain this focus throughout)
• ‘Crowdsourcing’ ideas before a decision is made leads to more innovative thinking
• People appreciate why the decisions have been made
• ‘Wisdom of the crowd’ avoids costly surprises late in the game
How does this work in practice?
Co-creation
How does this work in practice?
• Gather a community around a shared purpose (change agents)
• Curiosity (or stress!) in a change situation drives participation
• Resistance is visible, so it can be validated and managed constructively
• People understand ‘the why’ as well as ‘the what’, empowering them to make decisions and adapt practices
Collaboration
How does this work in practice?
• Visibility across the program allows everyone to play a meaningful role, and to balance their contribution with other commitments
• Open conversation so that everyone can participate in the debate at any time
• Shifts responsibility from the project team to the people who need to do something different
Facilitation
How does this work in practice?
• Empower people to consider what the change means for them (not telling)
• Rather than relying on a project team to interpret feedback, people own their contribution to process
• Everything is captured and addressed, with clear links from ideas to actions
• Shifts ownership from the project team to the people who need to do something different
Empowerment
How does this work in practice?
• Complexity = time & cost
• Simplify the change process, focusing on what matters to deliver the strategic objective
• Understand the implications
• Break down into smaller change elements, making it easy for people to contribute
• Our new reality requires iterative change; Steady state is a thing of the past!
Agility
Empower everyone to co-create and actively drive change in your organisationwww.pinipa.com
