Ethical principles may conflict
• Ethical principles may begin to compete with one another.
![Page 6: Strategy for Departmental Innovation Driving towards sustainability R. Kevin Grigsby AAMC Senior Director December 3, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649daa5503460f94a97a5a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Example: Ethical principles in conflict
The state has no place in family life
~ versus ~
Children need to be protected from harm

Every day dilemmas
Day-to-day, we are often challenged by the competition between two or more ethical principles.

Politics should not drive decision making
Decisions based only on what is politically expedient:• Come back to haunt us• Are very hard to defend once the
circumstances change• Chip away at our integrity• May be inconsistent with personal and
organizational values

What is integrity?

Integrity Is Honoring Your Word1. Keeping your word, and on time OR:
2. Whenever you will not be keeping your word, just as soon
as you become aware that you will not be keeping your word
(including not keeping your word on time) saying to everyone impacted:
a. that you will not be keeping your word, and
b. that you will keep that word in the future, and by when, or,
that you won’t be keeping that word at all, and
c. what you will do to deal with the impact on others of the
failure to keep your word (or to keep it on time).

A pre-condition for success
Not a virtue or something pursued – it must exist in for organization to reach its full potential
Organizational Integrity
![Page 23: Strategy for Departmental Innovation Driving towards sustainability R. Kevin Grigsby AAMC Senior Director December 3, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649daa5503460f94a97a5a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Must honor the word of the organization:
Does what it says it will do
Lives as it holds itself out to be to others
Lives as it holds itself out to be to itself
Organizational Integrity

What’s the problem?
The world of academic medicine has changed
In one author’s words “Someone moved the cheese . . . “
– Spencer Johnson, MD
What was necessary and sufficient for success in the past isn’t working anymore

The future of research funding . . .
The world of academic medicine has changed
In one author’s words “Someone moved the cheese . . . “
– Spencer Johnson, MD

Research funding isn’t what it used to be . . .

Adapt to the changed environment
Re-evaluations of the conduct of research
Strategic business decisions
Shift from dependence on federal $$
Increased self sustainability while promoting the core values of academic medicine
![Page 29: Strategy for Departmental Innovation Driving towards sustainability R. Kevin Grigsby AAMC Senior Director December 3, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649daa5503460f94a97a5a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
More efficient use of core facilities
Establish regional core facilities
Reduce redundant administrative activities
Promote a team environment
Facilitate resource sharing
Emphasize collaborative research efforts within and among organizations
How do we do it?
![Page 30: Strategy for Departmental Innovation Driving towards sustainability R. Kevin Grigsby AAMC Senior Director December 3, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649daa5503460f94a97a5a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Focus on research where organizations have a competitive advantage
Withdraw from research where organizations do not have a competitive advantage
Implement programs to help scientists with budget shortfalls
Implement programs to help early career scientists have secure funding during start-up
What else can we do?

“Even with the short-term burst of spending from the stimulus, few believe federal research funding can sustain the growth rates needed to fund the vast majority of trainees and researchers produced by medical schools and other life-science graduate programs.” – Tony Mazzaschi , AAMC Senior Director , Scientific Affairs
![Page 32: Strategy for Departmental Innovation Driving towards sustainability R. Kevin Grigsby AAMC Senior Director December 3, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649daa5503460f94a97a5a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What is the answer?
A need for faculty members who are equipped to deal with these changes
People who can tolerate the risk . . .
An organizational culture reflective of a complex, adaptive system
Paying attention to organizational culture as much as we pay attention to strategy

The demands of scholarshipErnest Boyer proposed a broad definition of scholarship – • He went beyond emphasizing pure discovery to
one that included integration, application, and teaching
Greater emphasis is now placed on clinical and translational science • less emphasis on basic science research

Gather as groups of eight persons – select one person as “anchor” to stay in place
Discuss the first question
Come to agreement on a single word or phrase that answers the question
Write it on a Post -it

Move on to the next group of eight and repeat the process for question 1 (anchor remains in place)
Move on to the next group of eight
Discuss question 2

Place all of the Post-It notes for each question on a flip chart or on the wall
Sort into 4 groups and prioritize/synthesize the words/phrases into one phrase that summarizes the answers to the question
Post all four and some to an agreement over a culture code – “the unconscious meaning we apply to any given thing. In this case, that thing is the organizational culture of academic medicine and science.”

2. Focus too much on quick wins
3. Stop listening; start squawking
4. Ignore conflict
5. Create a strategic plan that is not strategic and is not a plan

Ignore the culture• What worked in one organization may not work
in another organization• “Don’t just do something, stand there!” is an
important consideration• Advice: Have a formal assessment of the
culture completed by a third party

Focus too much on quick wins• One year budget cycles force this issue• Gathering “low hanging fruit” will not contribute
to solving the lurking, long-term, complex problems
• Advice: Balance the portfolio of short and long term investment

Stop listening; start squawking• Anxiety leads to too much talking• Lack of knowledge of what to do can lead to
“talking all around the problem”• Advice: God gave us two ears and one mouth
– we should be listening twice as much as we talk

Ignore conflict• You can not avoid conflict • You can oppress, repress, suppress it, BUT,
you are only postponing it• Advice: Don’t all prey to the enduring fantasy
(it’s not a delusion) that conflict will “just go away” if you ignore it

Create strategic plans that are neither • Russell Ackoff and his group found only 15% of
strategic plans are implemented• Most so-called strategic plans are statements of
aspiration, not grounded in the reality of available resources
• Advice: Concentrate on strategic action rather than strategic planning and align strategy with resources

Leaders need strategy that works . . .

• From time to time, leaders should reassess commitments
• Personally• Organizationally
• It is very easy to be thrown “off target”• Two dangers are lurking . . .
Slipping of target is common

Something always needs to be done RIGHT NOW!
Sometimes called “putting out fires”

Just when you get to the point of thinking you can do what you want to do –
Another urgent need for action appears in your path!

Graphic representations are often of games (chess, poker)
Other graphic representations are highly technical and jargon filled (engineers appear to love these!)

1. For the next 2-3 minutes, think about your commitment (in the professional environment) to something bigger than yourself.
2. Write down the something.
3. Try to remember when you first made that commitment. Was is conscious/intentional?
4. Assess the degree to which you believe you demonstrate that commitment in your day to day work.
5. Share this information with someone seated near you.

Peter Drucker is often associated with this concept
Process abandonment refers to understanding strategy as not only what we will do, but what we won’t do or what we won’t do anymore . . .

Reactive planning is bottom-up planning that consists of identifying deficiencies in an organization's performance and removes or reduces them
Pre-active planning is top-down prediction and preparation for the future, not planning the future Itself
Interactive planning is directed at creating the future
