Answer You - Making Change Stick
Imagine you are about to embark on a trip of a lifetime. You’ve received brochures for a luxury resort. The rooms are lavish; the grounds impeccable. Photos of the restaurant’s signature dishes look delectable. You’re sold.You go to the hotel. The room is musty and a tad dirty. The food is barely passable. Service is brusque and spotty at best. When you complain to management, you’re met with indifference, or worse, silence. You leave disillusioned and disgusted. For all the resort’s slick marketing, they’ve falle

Reducing and managing stress is one of the keys to a successful search. Too much stress and you appear desperate. Not enough and people question your motivation.

In analysing the organisations who had been successful, combined with our on-going work with manufacturers, the armed forces, the NHS and service sector businesses over the last 18 months, we found that the key to success could be summed up as:
▪ The selection of the right ‘tools’
▪ Applied in an effective manner
▪ By motivated people
In testing this we then found that every organisation who had failed to achieve sustainable change had failed because they had not addressed one of the issues detailed above. The most common mistakes made by organisations being:
▪ Choosing a change philosophy that did not suit the organisation, for example choosing to adopt Six Sigma (highly analytical) when the organisation suited a more intuitive change style or philosophy.
▪ Failing to ‘move to action’ by spending lots of money on training, coaching, planning and discussing, but then failing to act, resulting in all the preparatory work being in vain.
▪ Imposing change without engaging the staff – either by using outside consultants who designed and then implemented the change (often in the face of resistance from the staff) or where the managers told or led the team to the solution.

If you read books on investment or business, you’ll know that all the experts tell you to develop an “exit strategy” for your investments or your business, even while writing the business plan. Without using a bunch of financial jargon, basically it’s setting up a plan to make sure you get the MOST out of your assets when you sell or close the business or investments.So how does this relate to you? Developing an exit strategy should be an essential part of EVERYONE’S career plan. Why? YOU ARE YOUR MOST IMPORTA

In understanding why 87% of organisations fail to achieve sustainable change, we also have to consider the concept of 2nd Order Change.
1st Order Change is about changing processes, whilst 2nd Order Change is about changing behaviours. As an example, when the compulsory wearing of seatbelts was first introduced into the UK there were constant reminders on TV and the Police spent a lot of time reminding car drivers because people kept forgetting – what had happened was that we had achieved 1st Order Change by changing the process. Through constant focus and on-going training and support/encouragement, coupled with the fact that occasionally the press reported someone being prosecuted for not wearing a seatbelt, most people now don’t even think about putting the seatbelt on – that is because their behaviours have changed.
Most organisations change the processes (1st Order Change) and think that behaviours will change without any further action or management focus, but people don’t change overnight and the successful achievement of change that is sustainable in the longer term relies on the combination of ‘Inspiration, Transformation and Synchronisation.’
▪ Inspiration is concerned with leaders creating the right environment for change to work and typically includes such t
