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

Noel Tichy, 1999

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

“…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…”

“…Change programs often seem like they’re being shot out of cannons. They start with a
bang, then quickly fall flat…” Harvard Business Review, 1998

“…the challenge of unpredictability can be met by remaining flexible at all times, recognising change as inevitable and an opportunity, and not locking
yourself into a set path…”
Michael Chaney in AFRBoss, 2002
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 16: How to Handle Change in Your Organisation Breakfast presentation for Society of Business Communicators (Qld) by Bill Synnot at The Chifley at Lennons,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db45503460f94aa55f3/html5/thumbnails/16.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 17: How to Handle Change in Your Organisation Breakfast presentation for Society of Business Communicators (Qld) by Bill Synnot at The Chifley at Lennons,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db45503460f94aa55f3/html5/thumbnails/17.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

lethal for any change process

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 34: How to Handle Change in Your Organisation Breakfast presentation for Society of Business Communicators (Qld) by Bill Synnot at The Chifley at Lennons,](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649db45503460f94aa55f3/html5/thumbnails/34.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

Change challenges current culture. It requires “unlearning” and “relearning” which can be very painful and slow
Three parts to culture
i) behaviours, ie action, words, relationships, etc
ii) symbols, ie physical environment, recognition concepts, etc
iii) systems, ie reporting, performance management, etc
