Broad Concept of Change
“Change is a permanent part of life. No matter who we are, where we live, how old or young, we all make changes in our lives. Most of us struggle with change…
The ways we change inside, the ways we grow and learn, and become transformed are because of the changes in our lives.”
Orlando A, Anaam C. The Change Agent http://www.nelrc.org/changeagent/

Change agent
an individual who influences clients’ decisions in a direction deemed desirable by a change agency; roles include:• develop the need for change• diagnosis the problem• establish information exchange channels• create an intent to change in the clients• translate an intent into action• stabilize adoption and prevent discontinuance

Conditions for successful change
• dissatisfaction with the status quo• people have the necessary knowledge and skills • tools needed to are available• implementers have time to learn, adapt, integrate
and reflect on change• rewards or incentives exist for participants• participation in process is expected and
encouraged• have support for innovation by key players and
stakeholders

Resistance to change
• lack of trust• perception that change is not necessary• perception that change is not possible• relatively high cost• fear of personal failure• loss of status or power• threats to values and ideas • social, cultural or organizational disagreements• resentment of interference

Exercise 1
• Think of one successful change in your work environment. List the successful change variables that were in place. What was the critical factor(s) for the success of the change?
• Think of some unsuccessful change from your environment. List the resistance to change variables that were present. What was the critical factor(s) that thwarted the change?

Everett Rogers:Innovation/Decision Process Model
![Page 10: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Three Phases
• Unfreezing phase - old ways are no longer appropriate and that change is needed
• Changing phase - select an appropriate and promising approach
• Refreezing phase – the new approach is implemented and it becomes established

Adoption (Bell Shaped) Curve
![Page 12: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Adopter Categories Definitions
• Innovators – have a great interest in new ideas and a desire to be
daring and risky – can cope with uncertainty regarding change– may not be respected by other members of the
organization• Early Adopters – are the critical group for change/opinion leaders – contain role models for others that respect them for
judicious ‘innovation decisions’ – are not too far ahead of the organization as compared
to innovators – decrease uncertainty when they adopt new ideas
![Page 13: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Adopter Categories Definitions
• Early Majority – adopts new ideas before the average members of the
organization– not opinion leaders/make decisions slowly and
carefully – follow with deliberate willingness in adopting change
but rarely lead• Late Majority– adopts innovations after the majority of the
organization – generally are skeptical and cautious – respond to pressure from their peers and new
organizational norms
![Page 14: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Adopter Categories Definitions
• Laggards – are isolated and interact with others with
traditional values –usually make decisions on what has been
done in the past–possess almost no opinion leaders–often are suspicious of change and
change agents
![Page 15: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Rogers: S-shaped Curve
a period of slow adoption before experiencing a sudden period of rapid adoption and then a gradual leveling off
![Page 16: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Exercise 2
For the successful utilization of R4L resources in your institution, identify individuals that would be:
• Innovators• Early adopters• Early majority• Late majority• Laggards• Opinion leaders in the early adopters’ group
![Page 17: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Exercise 2 continued
• List two or three strategies you would use to work with the opinion leaders.
• How would you deal with the laggards (and you can be honest)?
![Page 18: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Useful Strategies
• establish a sense of urgency• create a guiding coalition• develop a compelling vision and strategy• communicate the change vision widely• empower stakeholders for broad-based action
on the vision• generate short-term wins• consolidate gains and produce more change• anchor new approaches in organizational
culture
![Page 19: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Exercise 3
• For your institution’s adoption of R4L resources, how would you utilize the strategies and suggestions listed above?
• What would be most useful and why?• Identify the key (most difficult) issues to overcome
for the successful adoption/utilization of R4L. • What strategies do you propose to surmount these
hurdles?• Implement the strategy that you have developed (to
be done after the completion of the course)!
![Page 20: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Strategy for Stakeholders
• Identify the stakeholders’ groups whose commitment is required.
• For each type of stakeholder, describe the needed change, perceived benefits and expected resistance.
• Develop action plans including ones for the stakeholder groups that are not sufficiently committed.
• One critical group often ignored is higher-level administration; they must be included one of the key groups.
![Page 21: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Exercise 4
• For the optimal use of R4L resources, who are the key ‘stakeholder groups’?
• How would each group benefit from these resources?
• Which would be the most difficult group to work with and what strategy would you use?
• How would you involve the administration?
![Page 22: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cautionary note
Consequences of innovation can includedesirable and undesirable consequences:– direct or immediate results– indirect results or consequences that are a result
of the innovation– anticipated or recognized/intended changes– unanticipated consequences that are neither
intended or recognized
![Page 23: Strategies for Managing Change - regarding the adoption/use of R4L Resources](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649d0c5503460f949e0670/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Goal of innovation or change
• Dynamic equilibrium– Change occurs at a rate that the institution can
cope with it– System can adapt to the change– The organization is not overloaded with too rapid
change that leads to an inability to adjust or disequilibrium
– Can this be achieved with R4L resources?
