“while the primary stimulus for change remains those forces in the external environment,
the primary motivator for how change is accomplished
resides with the people within the organisation”
Benjamin and MabeyFacilitating Radical Change (1993)

Background
“Change may be an imprecise science, but evidence is available on what works and what does not, and the NHS must make use of this.”
• White Paper - “A First Class Service”

Challenges and opportunities for the NHS

Why do we need to change hearts and minds?
If we only change hearts people accept changes but do not understand them
If we only change minds then people are not committed to the changes

‘Any improvement is a change,
not every change is an improvement,
but we cannot improve anything unless we change it’

Change means doing things differently!
It creeps up on people…...– They nod happily about need for change– They vigorously agree with the new ideas– but..– They become nervous when they realise
that they need to do think differently, not just other people
![Page 8: Change – this time its personal! Sue Price Head of Service Improvement Shropshire and Staffordshire Strategic Health Authority](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55151659550346c77d8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Do you find the idea of change exciting or uncomfortable?

Helping People to get to the Discomfort Zone
• Encourage them to trial new things (even if they don’t work)
• Create systems and processes that encourage a habit of experimentation
• Provide support• It is OK to say “I don’t know”• Understand process of loss and bereavement• Don’t impose change• Create ownership and involvement

“It” is not Change - “It” is Transition
• Change is a “doddle” –it happens – its external
• Transition is an internal process of adjustment
• Help people to:– Let go of the old– Move through the neutral zone– Accept the challenge of the
new
William Bridges

Help people to understand why ‘it’ is happening
“People responsible for planning & implementing change forget that while the first task of change management is to understand the destination and how to get there. The first task of transition management is to convince people to leave home.
You’ll save yourself a lot of grief if you remember that”.
– William Bridges

How To Decide on your Personal Style

• A small number will not be able to identify a predominant style

Albert Einstein

Have you ever resisted a change?
Tell us about it and why you resisted
![Page 28: Change – this time its personal! Sue Price Head of Service Improvement Shropshire and Staffordshire Strategic Health Authority](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55151659550346c77d8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why do people resist change?
Even the most well thought out, positive change will be a threat to some existing thing of value to some people.
“Every act of creation is first and foremost an act of destruction”
– Pablo Picasso
![Page 29: Change – this time its personal! Sue Price Head of Service Improvement Shropshire and Staffordshire Strategic Health Authority](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062618/55151659550346c77d8b4d43/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Resistance is “feedback”A “resistor” – term applied to someone who
– “makes your life difficult” or “gets in the way” of the plan
If your starting point is
– something wrong with the person & their resistance is “an illness to be cured”
Better to see resistance as
– An attempt
Maybe poorly communicated, emotive, even hostile
– To tell you something
about the change
how it is being managed

Common reasons for resistance – the “vital few”
A desire not to give up something of valueA misunderstanding of the change and its implicationsA belief that the change does not make sense to the organisationA low tolerance to change
John Kotter & Leonard Schlesiger – Harvard Business Review 1979

You cannot always take everyone with you
True of large scale changes in the way an organisation works and behaves
Invitation Ignoring Coercion Expulsion
Maximises the likelihood of people wanting to take part
in the change
Focuses on achieving a critical
mass
Uses organisational power to force people
to accept change
Involves actively removing people who do not work
with the requirements of
the change

So… the next time you encounter resistance
Take time to engage in dialogue
Display genuine curiosity
Help them explain
Remember their viewpoint
Identify the assumptions
Show your position
Test – using various “what if” cases
If it does not work – slow the process down Professor Sarah Fraser
