Understanding and research happened
after solutions created
Project managers struggled with
priorities
Exposed different values and
attitudes to change
We discovered staff felt
disconnected
This led some staff to resist or slow
down change
WITH AMBITION CAME ISSUES

What sort of library do we want to be?
PUTTING LESSONS INTO PRACTICE
![Page 10: Growing a Culture for Change at The University of Manchester Library. Penny Hicks, The University of Manchester Library, United Kingdom](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050614/5a654ad07f8b9a4a388b48cd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HOW WOULD WE APPROACH OUR NEW STRATEGY DIFFERENTLY?
We hosted meetings looking at rotas ensuring that all staff
would be able to attend one.
We asked for honest feedback on what they thought of the current strategy and how it
made them feel
We asked them what should have been done differently
We asked if they would like to volunteer to be involved in the
new strategy and what University goal they would be
interested in

THIS TIME
Staff self-elected their involvement
There are 4 themes linked to the
University’s strategy
Only looked at the ‘what’ and not the
‘how’
Managed as a project itself with dedicated
staff

Once you have had a garden for a while, and you have worked with, watched and listened to it, only then can you know what will die, what will grow and what will flourish.
