LEARNING IN THE WORKPLACE To continue to reinforce your learning from this workshop and prior to the follow up session, when you return to your team use the table below to assist you to reflect on the concepts introduced. Your reflection may also incorporate other behaviours that you have observed from other leaders within your workplace as well. You should aim to identify at least 10 different situations. As part of your reflection, identify some of your key strengths and opportunities for improvement in the way you think about change management within the workplace. What steps might you be able to take to improve your own practice?

THE CONTEXT University strategy Charles Sturt University (CSU) in its University Strategy 2007-2011, under Institutional Development, has committed to: ―Creating a culture that is responsive to organisational change and renewal.” An Organisational Change and Renewal Framework has been developed, along with a number of other initiatives, some outlined below, to facilitate the creation of this culture. Workplace Productivity Program (WPP) and the Enterprise Model

Key findings from focus groups: organisational culture and internal communication: In 2007, the Internal Communication Working Party and the Organisational Culture Program Committee were convened by Professor Lyn Gorman, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Administration) and identified a range of communication areas to be improved. In response to these issues, focus groups and individual interviews were held with about 85 staff participating from across a number of campuses, including Ontario. The purpose of these focus groups was to establish issues, concerns, positive aspects and solutions to organisational culture and internal communication. Staff said that they want changes and the communication of changes to be better managed. They welcome change and wish to be part of the consultation. They want a process for change management and for celebrating small wins. Refer to Attachment 3 for more detailed key themes that emerged from the focus groups.

WHAT IS CHANGE?

Exercise – Introductions

“Change is the process of altering, reshaping or transforming a business to improve the way it works or interacts with its environment”. (Anand and Nicholson 2004). Change has always been a constant in our lives. The current pace of change is accelerating with innovations and advances in technology increasing at an exponential rate. In fact many businesses, conferences, communiqués, references, change ‗gurus‘ and consultants talk of change as being a constant that we are all grappling to manage which will just be common place, even ‗expected‘ by the Y Generation. Models and Stages of Change There are a variety of models that outline the stages of change and the variables that are affecting or need to be considered during change. Attachment 3 of the CSU Organisational Change and Renewal Framework provides a good overview of: - The four variables of change: culture, context, knowledge and technology - The necessary conditions in people for effective change: awareness, capability, inclusion - The effects of change on people: people in the process of transition and the change acceptance curve

Consider the following question and write down your responses. What is change? Consider a recent or impending change in your area. How has this change affected staff? In the workshop introduce yourself then identify your role as a change leader and your response to the questions above.

Change is constant

- Benjamin Disraeli

Exercise – Change Acceptance Curve

Consider a change within which you are currently involved and place yourself on the change acceptance curve. Discuss and debrief the experience with your work group, peer learning group and/or mentor.

WHY MANAGE CHANGE? What are the reasons for change at CSU?

Exercise – Reasons for Change in the Higher Education sector

The Manager as a leader of change in a University “University leadership requires leaders capable of producing change, aligning people and motivating them whilst simultaneously engaging the management function of keeping the organisation on time and within budget” (Ramsden 1998) Ramsden‟s (1998) emphasis on the leader‟s responsibility for generating change and commitment to change, largely reflects transformational leadership dimensions”. (as cited by Pounder 2001). Transformational leadership and the notion of the learning organisation (Senge 1990) “speak directly” to the effectiveness of universities of the future that will be (are) faced with issues of managing change in the areas of “diversity, growth, responsiveness and external accountability”. This leadership is not confined to senior managers (eg SEC). Leadership in universities is “dispersed leadership”. It is also undoubtedly transformational in nature involving “helping ordinary people do extraordinary things”, evaluating individual‟s visions to higher levels, and helping people to embrace change.” (Pounder 2001) The Responsibilities of a Manager at CSU The generic responsibilities and accountabilities as managers (http://www.csu.edu.au/adminman/hum/humanresources.htm):

Fosters a culture of cooperation/collegiality, teamwork, reflective practice, continual improvement and learning, and responsiveness to change. Managing change by anticipating and responding to developments within the external and internal environment that may impact on the University or a Faculty; Division; Section (as appropriate)

Anand & Nicholson (2004) provide a strong case for the management of change and why change fails. Basically it ―requires the full range of management skills: „hard‟ skills in planning, project management and analysis, and „soft‟ skills in persuasion, understanding business cultures and communication”. These are the “keys to success”.

Brainstorm individually, in pairs or groups in the workshop or with your work group, peer learning group and/or mentor, the reasons for change at CSU and in the Higher Education Sector. Summarise and collate the list. How does it compare with the CSU Organisational Change & Renewal Framework? What stood out for you in relation to your leadership role at CSU?

Exercise – Leading and Facilitating change at CSU

Leading Through Change

“Without successfully managing a difficult

transition, no leader can be effective for

very long.‖

—William Bridges

Leadership and the Bridges Model

The higher a leader is in an organisation the more quickly he/she tends to move through the change process

Others can‘t always see the intended destination and take longer to make the transition by letting go of old ways

moving through the neutral zone, and finally

making a new beginning

HOW TO MANAGE CHANGE AT CSU

The CSU Organisational Change and Renewal Framework was developed as part of the University Strategy to develop an organisational ―culture responsive to change and renewal”. This will increase CSU‘s capability to manage change proactively and effectively so that as an organisation we can be effective and sustainable in the rapidly changing Higher Education sector. There are a number of organisational change management and /or transition frameworks, plans and resources available. No one way is correct. The CSU framework has been developed as an amalgam of two frameworks; Kotter (2002) and Synnot (2007). The underlying foundation of the CSU framework are the eight (8) key dimensions (or ingredients) as they cover all four main variables of impact to be considered which will ensure buy in from staff and all stakeholders directly affected by change. Four main variables to be considered in any change at CSU (CSU Frontline Management Program BSBFLM10B Facilitate and Capitalise on Change and Innovation):

1. People; (Culture is an important component) 2. Tasks; (considered as Processes under the CSU Enterprise Model (WPI)) 3. Organisational Structure; and 4. Technology

CSU Organisational Change and Renewal Framework (Attachment 2) Eight dimensions or ingredients for successfully managing change Refer to Figure 1 Managing Change @ CSU: The Eight Dimensions for Effective Organisational Change and renewal.

Dimension 1: Laying the Foundation for New Ways – Leadership & Readiness for Change

Dimension 2: Establishing a Sense of Urgency

Dimension 3: Forming a Change Team and Defining Change Management Interventions

Dimension 4: Creating Strategic Alignment

Dimensions 5: Communicating the Vision for Change

Dimension 6: Maximising Connectedness

Dimension 7: Creating and Celebrating Short Term Wins

Dimension 8: Consolidating Performance Improvements & Institutionalising New Approaches

Exercise – CSU Change Management Framework

Identifying how to improve change management at CSU using the CSU Change Management Framework With your workshop group, work team, peer learning group and/or mentor: Think about a recent or current change which you have led or been involved with. What were the strengths? What could have been improved? Which of the 8 dimensions of the framework were used/align with the strengths? Which dimensions were not considered? Use butchers paper or a whiteboard.

Strengths Improvables Where do/what dimensions of the framework fit?

Which dimensions were not considered?

Whole group debrief: Considering planned or anticipated changes in your area, what could we do in the future to improve the management of change and therefore the effectiveness acceptance of the change/s? How will you use the framework?

Developing a Change Management Plan The three main fundamentals in the CSU Change Management Framework should be considered in developing any Change Management Plan and a Communication Plan. These are well covered by the 8 dimensions:

People and Culture: 1. lay the foundations for new ways through capability: knowledge, skills and leadership

development (Dimension 1) 2. maximise connectedness: identify and remove barriers to change; willingness and readiness

for change (Dimension 6) 3. consolidate performance improvements (Dimension 8)

Plan:

1. use the project management methodology: create an ―Assignment ― or a full scale project and form a change or transition team (Dimension 3)

2. create strategic alignment or fit within the university strategy: establish goals and objectives (Dimension 4)

Communicate:

1. develop a communication plan and communicate the vision (Dimension 5) 2. create a sense of urgency (Dimension 2) 3. create and celebrate short and long term wins (Dimension 7)

Homework – Change Management Plan

Consider a change which you are planning in your area. Develop a draft change management plan (and Communication Plan) using the CSU project management templates and tools http://www.csu.edu.au/division/psc/PLframework/ and the CSU Organisational Change and Renewal Framework. Examples are provided in Attachments 4 & 5 of the CSU Interact Change and Communication Plans.
