What is the difference between innovation and change?
An Innovation Network member, Peter Marinelli at Kraft, has asked us a question we thought would make an interesting thought stimulator:
"What do you see as the key difference between innovation and the activities required to successfully complete any large-scale change-management activity/project that causes leapfrogs in competitive advantages or causes people to work in a completely new way? This question came up in a discussion with a very seasoned process implementation person, who is somewhat sceptical of putting the banner of "Innovation" on various and sundry activities."
10
In your groups
So, think about "innovation" and "change management" and tell us what difference, if any, you see between the two.
11
Innovation and Change
Change is anything different from current conditions whereas innovation is something entirely new than anyone has seen before.

Innovation and business performance Financial and social benefits Radical and incremental innovation Innovation as a form of competitive edge Creativity and innovation – what conditions
and processes are required to encourage them?
What is change?
Change is acting, operating and thinking differently as a result of a variation in our
current environment / circumstances.
Change is inevitable!
Change is when something becomes different, requiring
people, process or technology to adapt to a new way of doing things
Change is a move away from a place, routine or relationships that you
accept as “normal” to a place, routine or relationship that you will come to
accept as “normal”
Change may be as good as a rest, but the effort required to make the change means you will certainly
have earned it
Change is something that happens to us or can be something we initiate.
Either way, we cannot always predict the effect that change will have on us
and given change is either unavoidable or better than a rest, our
best option is to sit back and experience the ride!
“It is not the strongest species who survive, not the most intelligent, but those who are the most adaptive to change”.Charles Darwin
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.“Niccolo Machiavelli
“You cannot dip your toes into the same river twice”. Heraclitus (Greek philosopher)
What is Change?
1. It will be different for everyone
2. It has a Process A Change of state or a change in the way you do something Vision, plans, dates, systems, technology, training Physical stuff
3. It has an Emotional Transition Mind-set, behavioural change A change in the way you think about something Soft stuff – harder to do
4. Is dependant on your preferences, previous and current experience
5. Is influenced by the ‘size’ of the change

Levels of Change
Change can occur at different levels in the organisation.
At strategic level, fundamental change will be needed if
the organisation is out-of-line with the requirements of the business environment or the shareholders demands. This situation is known as ‘Strategic Drift’.
The working environment is subject to the political, economic, social and technological trends of the day.
Types of Change
EASY HARD or PAINFUL

25
Types of Change
The type of change can be classified using a simple two-by-two matrix involving the extent of change and the speed that change is required

27
Starts with a need for a shift
What does change & innovation need to start
Having a burning platform (D.Conner) Do you understand that the status-quo will not last or is not sustainable? Can you clearly define what the change is to others and the impact? Do they really understand why this has to be done! Do they really believe you?
Establishing a sense of Urgency (J.Kotter) People need to understand they need to act know! The impact on Operational Performance Clarity on non-performance Excitement & motivation on the Opportunities Expectations are clear
29
Key Steps to Successful Change - Kotter
Establishing urgency Creating change agency Developing vision and strategy Communicating the need and
benefits Empowering others to act Realising some quick hits Consolidating gains (catalyst for
more change) Institutionalising cultural change
From Kotter, Pascale
30
Typical Ingredients of Successful Change Efforts
Most successful major changes include the following in either the planning or management of the implementation of changes.
Top management establish a temporary management structure to handle the change
A process of planning for change is used Effective leadership at all levels, including appropriate involvement of
staff and team building Flexible and constructive approach to control, including a focus on
solutions (not blame) and a willingness to recognise success An effective communications plan is sustained over the whole
change process, including two way multi media cascading to all levels of the programme

TRANSFORMATION
HARD SOFT TRANSFORMATION
In order for people to change, it is critical to manage and then prove that the ‘hard’ elements are in place
Without this, these formal elements will continue to act as blockers for the organisation

Definition
Process - a systematic series of tasks required to achieve an end goal.
Procedure – this is the work instructions in showing the steps involved in performing a particular task
The difference between the two is that a process describes a series of related tasks required to achieve a particular end goal, whereas a procedure only describes the steps taken to accomplish a single task.
Another useful distinction is that a process describes what has to be done, whereas a procedure describes how it is done.
What is diagnosis?
Think of visiting your doctor, dentist, computer or car mechanic. What is a diagnosis?
What does s/he do to diagnose your condition?
What are the uses/purposes of a diagnosis? What does it allow you to do?
What, therefore, are the criteria for a sound diagnosis?
How is a diagnosis derived?
Who is skilled to carry out diagnosis? What do they need?

Cross-company teamwork insufficient e.g. not working as a integrated project team
Variable readiness to adopt new change
Challenge of communicating to people without email
No end-to-end programme / project management process for all
Strategic planning and Business planning alignment
Cost control not easily visible or integrated with financial planning
Managing the change (transition) not built overtly into the plan
Planning fragmented and forever changing
Management processes not followed Assets/Systems
People Processes
System not fully used
IT projects not “implementing”
Lack of technology understanding/experience
The business is not taking joint ownership
Inevitable conflict?
“Not just that individuals conflict Or different stakeholders – inside/outside But that the university’s agendas themselves are bound to be in
tension Local/global Enterprise/service Standards/inclusivity Transparency/keeping cards close to the chest Academic excellence/income generation Competition/collaboration
These are never-ending differences of orientation”Source: Ronald Barnett. Universities in the 21st Century. University of Warwick, 6 July 2006
Organisations are coalitions of interest groups in tension. Stability is hammered out over a period. Change upsets
this balance
Organisations institutionalise resistance to change
Bureaucratic culture
Multiple layers of hierarchy, a tradition of top-down change, short-term thinking, lack of vision, and an emphasis on the status quo
Embedded conflict
Conflict between schools, departments, functions
Conflict between peers
Conflict among subordinates
Personal time constraints
No time to start something new

How do you resistance?
What are you resisting? What does the resistance feel like in your body? What does the resistance have to tell you? What would happen if you let the resistance go? Are you willing to let the resistance go?
At the end of the process, the listener should ask what the speaker noticed in the wake of their experience

Information
The 5 C’s
When people stay in a situation for any period of time they usually develop established ways of thinking, feeling and behaving. Change disrupts these habits.
CONTROL: Change disrupts the strong conscious or unconscious feelings of control that people develop when things are familiar
CONFIDENCE: Change can also generate a lack of confidence as people are unsure about how they will cope with the new way of working
COMFORT: Change upsets the sense of comfort that comes from established ways of working and existing relationships
COMPETENCE: Change creates anxiety by forcing people to learn unfamiliar skills. It is common for people to question their competence when learning something new
CAPACITY: People can feel they have reached their ‘ceiling for change’ and that they just don’t have the capacity to take on even more change

Dealing with resistance
Step 1 : Identify the form resistance is taking Trust what you see more than what you hear Listen to yourself - use your own feelings as a barometer Listen for repetition/telltale phrases
Step 2 : Acknowledge and name the resistance Tell the person your perception of the resistance Do it in a "win/win" manner; neutral, non-aggressive "What I think I hear you saying is .. " Tell the person how the resistance is making you feel
Step 3 : Be quiet, listen, let the person respond Get the person talking Encourage full expression of the concerns Gradually uncover underlying resistance/issue - be aware of other form
of resistance surfacing

Dealing with resistance – what not to do
Fight the resistance Take it personally Go into more data collection and get hooked into the details Avoid the individual or collude with the individual Work more with your 'allies’ Give lots of reasons Lose your confidence Expect to have all the answers Avoid giving ‘bad news’ Use aggressive language – ‘you dummy’ rule Delay/wait one more day Expect approval, encouragement, support and/or affection

Change Projects Create a change plan
Have a milestone plan that is agreed and robust Ensure your sponsor is active Create a dedicated project team (!!!!) Understand your stakeholders and impacted people Engage people early with the project Keep them engaged Create change champions Work out what will help embed the change
Processes, metrics, bonuses, new behaviours Communicate
Open, honestly and timely Know when you have got there! Celebrate and reinforce the learning

Stakeholder analysis
1. Identify your key stakeholders
Remember that although stakeholders may be both organisations and people, ultimately you must communicate
with people
Your boss Governors Government
Senior Managers Alliance partners Trade unions
Colleagues Suppliers The press
Your team FE colleges Interest groups
Students Publishers The public
Parents Future recruits The community
Stakeholder analysis
2. Prioritise your stakeholders • High power, interested people: these
are the people you must fully engage and make the greatest efforts to satisfy.
• High power, less interested people: put enough work in with these people to keep them satisfied, but not so much that they become bored with your message.
• Low power, interested people: keep these people adequately informed, and talk to them to ensure that no major issues are arising. These people can often be very helpful with the detail of your project.
• Low power, less interested people: again, monitor these people, but do not bore them with excessive communication.
Stakeholder analysis
What financial or emotional interest do they have in the outcome of your change? Is it positive or negative?
What motivates them most of all? What information do they want from you? How do they want to receive information from you? What is the best way of
communicating your message to them? What is their current opinion of your work? Is it based on good information? Who influences their opinions generally, and who influences their opinion of you?
Do some of these influencers therefore become important stakeholders in their own right? If they are not likely to be positive, what will win them around to support your project? If you don't think you will be able to win them around, how will you manage their
opposition? Who else might be influenced by their opinions? Do these people become stakeholders in
their own right?
3. Understand your stakeholders
Activity: Stakeholder analysis
Create a stakeholder map connected to a change you want to bring about
What ‘political stance’ do you expect from the stakeholders with high power/high interest? Why do you say this?
What strategies might you employ to ensure your key stakeholders stay on-side?

Too little information and sensitivity leads to mistrust and lack of commitment
90
Suggestions for effective communication
Use several different methods of communication Attempt to balance the content: avoid confusion by
emphasising a limited number of key aspects; equally, avoid giving too little information which can lead to mistrust
Encourage two-way communication; encourage people to give feedback, ask questions and discuss concerns
Involve those who participated in the change process; they can cascade information to their teams and others
Keep links within the communication process short; this helps to reduce the likelihood of confusion or distortion
