ChangeChangemeans experiencing something
different and/or doing something differently
Usually with the basic aim of
“…Increasing the organisation’s capability to adapt to and adopt new ways of doing
business…”

“…organisation today - has to be designed for change as the norm and to create change rather than react to it …”
Peter Drucker, 2001
“…it is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent; it is the one that is the most
adaptable to change…”Charles Darwin as quoted in Harvard Business Review, 1998
“. . .you can resist change and win one or more battles, but you will lose the war...”
Noel Tichy, 1999

“…change does not come from a slogan or a speech. It happens because you put the right people in place
to make it happen…”Jack Welch as quoted in Jack Welch et al, 2001
“…An organisation is a web of interconnections; a change in one area can throw a different part of the
organisation off balance. Managing these ripple effects and the unexpected outcomes is the
challenge of change…”
Harvard Business Review, 1998

Marcel Proust as quoted by David Osborne in “Re-Inventing Government”, 1993

will get busy on the proof…”John Kenneth Galbraith quoted in Australian Financial Review, 1999

“…When the rate of change inside an institution becomes slower than the rate of change outside,
the end is in sight …”Jack Welch, 2001
“…it has become a truism that the only constant is change; with one change overlapping with
another, the time-frame to accomplish change is shortening…”

bang, then quickly fall flat…” Harvard Business Review, 1998

Change involves
“… combining “inner shifts” in people’s values, aspirations and behaviours with “outer shifts” in
processes, strategies, practices and systems…...It is not enough to change strategies, structures, and systems, unless the thinking that produced those
strategies, structures and the systems also changes…”
Peter Senge, 1999

Competition comes from
“where you least expect it”
In a survey it was found that
“…industry newcomers – not the traditional competitors – had taken the best advantage of
change over the past ten years...…by profoundly changing the rules of the game…”
Gary Hamel, 1997
eg Murdoch, Branson, Gates, etc
![Page 15: Change Management Presentation for RCB Regional Conference ACMA by Bill Synnot at The Telstra Dome, Melbourne May 30, 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649eeb5503460f94bfcd71/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“…an outmoded belief, assumption, practice, policy, system or strategy, generally invisible, that inhibits change and prevents resources being used
for new opportunities…”Robert Kriegel et al., 1996
![Page 16: Change Management Presentation for RCB Regional Conference ACMA by Bill Synnot at The Telstra Dome, Melbourne May 30, 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649eeb5503460f94bfcd71/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Remember:Remember:
“…Over 50% of technological breakthroughs that influence an industry or organisation come
from outside that industry…” Peter Drucker, 2001

Point of Diminishing ReturnsPoint of Diminishing Returns
This involves organisations trying to wring the last efficiency out of business models that have reached their use-by date; their strategies are
indistinguishable from their competitors

Most Common Most Common Management Error Management Error
“…generally social and behavioural causes frustrate change initiatives rather than
technical problems…”Patrick Dawson, 2005

“…over 40% of the businesses listed in the 1985 Fortune 500 are not in business today…”
Karlson Hargroves et al, 2005

Important question is “…what is hindering us?…”
Definition of insanity!

eg - happy the way we are (zone of comfort)
- custodians of the traditions, etc
The combination of cultures that resist change and managers who support the status quo is
lethal for any change process
“…Status Quo: Isn’t that Latin for the mess we are in now?…”
(AIM 2000)

ATTITUDES TO CHANGEATTITUDES TO CHANGEATTITUDES TO CHANGEATTITUDES TO CHANGE
“…Change creates fear in established organisations and paranoia in the minds of executives hired to protect the status quo…”
Gene Landrum, 1996Working harder and harder
“…like driving a car and putting your foot down harder on the accelerator when you
should instead change gears…”
Seen as a threat unless staff have ownership
Trust is one of the first casualties
![Page 27: Change Management Presentation for RCB Regional Conference ACMA by Bill Synnot at The Telstra Dome, Melbourne May 30, 2007](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051401/56649eeb5503460f94bfcd71/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Encountering change too often “…alternates between short bouts of radical
surgery and long doses of studied inattention…”
Conflicting messages of change, ie staff are encouraged to realise their aspirations but basic needs such as job security are threatened
Code word for “something nasty”
Pushes people outside zone of comfort

i) behaviours, ie action, words, relationships, etc
ii) symbols, ie physical environment, recognition concepts, etc
iii) systems, ie reporting, performance management, etc

This will show how we waste most of our time by doing work that is not adding value to the customer/client
Most managers waste more than 50% of their time doing “re-work” and “non value- adding work”
