In organizations, systems consist of people, structures, and processes that work together to make an organization healthy or unhealthy. Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia 26 Systems Thinking (Continued) What is a System? Is a set of interacting or interdependent entities forming an integrated whole. Most systems share common characteristics, including: Systems have structure, defined by parts and their composition; Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia 27 Systems Thinking (Continued) What is a System? Systems have behavior, which involves inputs, processing and outputs of material, energy or information; Systems have interconnectivity: the various parts of a system have functional as well as structural relationships between each other. Systems have by themselves functions or groups of functions Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia 28 Systems Thinking (Continued) What is an Organization? An organization is a social arrangement which pursues collective goals, controls its own performance, and has a boundary separating it from its environment Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia 29 Quote - Change You can't cross a sea by merely staring into the water." ------------ Rabindranath Tagore A System in Action INPUTTRANSFORMATION OUTPUT 31 Most Important Tip Under promise and over deliver!

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 DxVxF>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 Gleich 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 Source: Wikipedia – Created by Richard Beckhard and David Gleicher 51 Tools for Understanding and Facilitating Change (Continued) The Olde Ice Cube Metaphor...

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 80 Action Planning Summarize individual learning from the program Develop applications and development plans 81 Possible Changes in the Critical Hierarchy Vision/Goals/Objectives-Where should the organization be going? Roles & Relationships-Who needs to do what with who and how to get there? Policies & Procedures-What minimal guidelines will be required as safeguards?
