resources we have. Why can’t they

understand that?”

pushback and change resistance.”

implemented now. Not tomorrow. Not next

month. NOW!!!”

Real Change is Brain Change

Our brains automatically associate

change with pain. Once the association

is made, it is permanently etched into

our neural network

Chaos Theory says Chaos Theory says

Organizations will always seek stability

Organizations are not created equal

One organization’s stability is another

organization’s chaos

Orderly organizations are like pelicans

• Process-centric

• Attract people who prefer structure provided

by processes

• Resist innovation

• Distrust innovators & change agents

Orderly organizations are like pelicans

Disorderly organizations are like wolf packs

• Innovative

• Attract people who are easily bored with process & prefer to be inventive

• Experiment with new processes then abandon them

• Distrust process & change agents

Disorderly organizations are like wolf packs

Hybrid organizations are like penguins

• Flip periodically between order & disorder

• Attract people who prefer order but have a

tolerance for disorder & ambiguity

• Return to dominant state after workplace

upheaval

• Distrust change agents

Hybrid organizations are like penguins

Complexity Theory says Complexity Theory says

Organizations are rules based systems

Groups “self-organize” around a unique set of

“rules for change”
