Moving to the edge“ Traditional R&D is no longer sufficient. Big companies invest in innovation centers; some aim to act like start ups, others set out to partner with or acquire them.Either way, innovation centers spark new ideas, experiment faster, fail faster and gain momentum to affect HQ and force change from the outside in”Disruptive technology trends 2016-2018

“ Leading from the edge brings us into contact with a far wider range

People at every level recognise that things aren’t right

“Legacy constructs that enforce bureaucracy through command-

and-control structures …with gated handovers between organizational

silos are pervasive across large organisations. These processes

were built to mitigate risk for an environment that doesn’t exist

today.

“With this in mind, many organisations are looking for ways to improve employee

participation in the organisation’s strategy and in turn, increase retention rates

and hold on to the great people they’ve already

invested in. This results in a radical shift in the existing

work constructs……”

Research shows the psychological distress that comes with inauthentic behaviour

“it is important to note that a threat to someone’s moral self-concept is different from other negative states of mind such as feeling confused, disrespected, or overwhelmed. Clear instructions, positive feedback, and flexible hours are all undoubtedly appreciated, but for leaders who want to keep their employees engaged for as long as possible, understanding their need for a positive moral self-concept might be key”

When we spread change through strong ties:• we interact with “people like us”, with

the same life experiences, beliefs and values

• Change is “peer to peer”; GP to GP, social worker to social worker, nurse to nurse, community leader to community leader

• Influence is spread through people who are strongly connected to each other, like and trust each other

When we spread change through strong ties:• we interact with “people like us”, with

the same life experiences, beliefs and values

• Change is “peer to peer”; GP to GP, social worker to social worker, nurse to nurse, community leader to community leader

• Influence is spread through people who are strongly connected to each other, like and trust each other

IT WORKS BECAUSE: people are far more likely to be influenced to adopt new behaviours or ways of working from those with whom they are most strongly tied

@HelenBevan

The pros and cons of strong ties

Pros Cons

@HelenBevan

When we seek to spread change through weak ties

• we build bridges between groups and individuals who were previously different and separate

• we create relationships based not on pre-existing similarities but on common purpose and commitments that people make to each other to take action

• We can mobilise all the resources in our organisation, system or community to help achieve our goals

@HelenBevan

Why we need to build weak ties AS WELL AS strong ties

• Weak ties are more likely to lead to change at scale because they enable us to access more people with fewer barriers

3. Who are the people who are currently disconnected that you want to unite in order to achieve your goal for change? How can you build a sense of “us” with them?

There has never been a time in the history of healthcare when this advice has been

more pertinent

“Leadership is not about making clever decisions and doing bigger deals. It is about

helping release the positive energy that exists naturally within people”

Henry Mintzberg

Compliance

States a minimum performance standard that everyone must achieve

Uses hierarchy, systems and standard procedures for co-ordination and control

Threat of penalties/ sanctions/ shame creates momentum for delivery

What is our approach to change?Commitment

States a collective goal that everyone can aspire to

Based on shared goals, values and sense of purpose for co-ordination and control

Commitment to a common purpose creates energy for delivery


We know that ...

Shared purpose is a common thread in successful change programmes*

Organisations and change initiatives with strong shared purpose consistently outperform those without it.**

A 3-word concept


[Shared] purpose goes way deeper than vision and mission; it goes right into your gut

and taps some part of your primal self. I believe that if you can bring people with similar primal-purposes together and get them all marching in the same direction,

amazing things can be achieved.Seth Carguilo


The power of shared purpose:

Perhaps the single most important influence on program response by individual units—either in promoting or resisting change—was the extent of consensus and

coalition among the senior medical and nursing staff on individual Intensive Care Units….

[Consultant says] ‘I think it’s been successful because it’s a unifying program, it’s one of the few things that we’ve done that hasn’t been just a doctor thing, or just a nurse thing, it’s involved the doctors and the nurses together.’

Avoiding “de facto” purpose What leaders pay attention to matters to staff, and

consequently staff pay attention to that too Shared purpose can easily be displaced by a “de facto”

purpose: hitting a target reducing costs eliminating waste completing activities within a timescale complying with an inspection regime

If purpose isn’t explicit and shared, then it is very easy for something else to become a de facto purpose in the minds of the workforce
