Tools for Understanding and Facilitating Change
IT (CHANGE) WON'T HAPPEN UNLESS... C = [ABD] > X
C = CHANGE A = Level of dissatisfaction with the status quo B = Desirability of the desired change or end state D = Practicality of the change (minimal risk and disruption) X = "Cost" of changing
Source: Richard Beckhard – Pioneer in Organizational Development - Original formula created by Gleicher and authored by Beckhard and Harris
49
Another Formula for Change - Gleicher's Formula
D x V x F > R
Three factors must be present for meaningful organizational change to take place. These factors are:
D
= Dissatisfaction with how things are now;
V
= Vision of what is possible;
F
= First, concrete steps that can be taken towards the vision.
If the product of these three factors is greater than
R
= Resistance, then change is possible.
Source: Wikipedia – Created by Richard Beckhard and David Gleicher
50
Another Formula – Gleicher (Continued) Because of the multiplication of D, V and F, if any one is absent or low, then the product will be low and therefore not capable of overcoming the resistance.
To ensure a successful change it is necessary to use influence and strategic thinking in order to create vision and identify those crucial, early steps towards it. In addition, the organization must recognize and accept the dissatisfaction that exists by communicating industry trends, leadership ideas, best practice and competitive analysis to identify the necessity for change

Key Characteristics of an AI Interview Assumption of health and vitality Connection through empathy Care about the next person, excitement Intense focus Generative questioning, cueing, guiding Comfort with ambiguity Generalizations OK 69
The AI Interview Protocol 1. Best Experience: Tell me about the best times you have had with your organization - when you felt most alive or most involved or most excited. Describe the event in detail.
2. Values : What are the things you value deeply about your work, your organization and yourself.
3. What is the core value of your organization?
4. Three wishes 70
Narrative Exploration Find a partner who you would like to know better from the table next to yours Take 10 minutes to reflect on the questions individually Conduct the interview for 30 minutes per person Stay with your partner and join a group 71
Creating Propositions Share your stories Make a list of the emerging topics that are important to you as a group List the top five themes on a scattergram chart Make a separate list about your wishes--What needs to change or improve Post your sheets for all to view Prepare a group presentation 72
Five Principles of AI 1. Social Constructionism 2. Poetic Principle 3. Principle of Simultaneity 4. Anticipatory Principle 5. Positive Principle 73
Social Constructionism “I had always thought that we used language to describe the world - now I was seeing that this is not the case. To the contrary, it is through language that we create the world, because it is nothing until we describe it. And, when we describe it, we create distinctions that govern our actions. To put it another way, we do not describe the world we see, but we see the world we describe.”
Joseph Jaworski, Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership
74
Social Constructionism Continued...
“Whether or not you can observe a thing depends upon the theory you use. It is the theory which decides what can be observed.”
---- Albert Einstein
75
Social Constructionism Continued… “We human beings create our own realities through symbolic and mental processes and that because of this, conscious evolutions of the future is a human option.” ----
David Cooperrider
76
Heliotropic Systems “Implied in scholarly research is the intriguing suggestion that human systems are largely heliotropic in character, meaning that they exhibit an observable and largely automatic tendency to evolve in the direction of
positive anticipatory images
of the future. Just as some plants exhibit a tendency to grow in the direction of sunlight, there is a similar process going on in human systems.”
---- David Cooperrider
77
4D Model of AI 78
Appreciative Inquiry ….….
Invites members to engage in generative dialogue Turns thoughts toward that which is valued Engages people in collecting meaningful stories Creates a collective image that guide the organization Gives a feeling of worthiness 79
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
Peter Drucker
