“Change is indubitable, whereas progress is a matter of controversy.” Bertrand Russell
British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)
MEET U.S.
People and Resources are what you need …
To change today’s vision into
tomorrow’s reality
But you must have the VISION first
MEET U.S.
What’s in a Vision?
• Get out of the Box and Think!– No Obstacles– No Resource Limitations
• Construct the Ideal Pathway– What will you do?– Who will do it?– How long will it take?– How much will it cost?– Who will benefit from it?
MEET U.S.
Making a Vision a Strategy• Start with the ideal and
introduce your Constraints, one-by-one.
• Assess the impact of each Constraint. Is it– A deal breaker?– A time eater?– Workable?– What is the tipping point?
MEET U.S.
Translate Vision Into Reality(Strategic Thinking)
• Identify your starting point and goal
• Recognize your resource & organizational needs to reach the goal
• Analyze and describe:– People assets – current &
potential– Obstacles (people and
institutions)– Critical path to the goal
MEET U.S.
Understanding Change
• Change is inevitable given enough time• Change is seldom simple; often complex• Change may depend on a sequence of events: the
right order matters• Change must be anchored in behavior if it is to last.
MEET U.S.
Building a Change Model
• What was the situation BEFORE the change?
• Who defined the desired change?• How was the change supported?• Who were the key people? Who brought
them together?• Who prepared the Action Plan?• Was change achieved? Did it last?
MEET U.S.
Generating Change
• Be sure the change is on your critical path• Make the change visible to the
organization• Make the change attainable• Engage EVERYONE in achieving the
change – not just the leadership• Measure and consolidate change as it
occursSMALL SUCCESSES MATTER!
MEET U.S.
Consolidating Change
• Make it visible to ALL stakeholders
• Celebrate successes (even small ones)
• Link it to similar changes, whether or not your organization is responsible
• Give it a CHAMPION– Leader– Expert
MEET U.S.
When can we claim Success?
• Success is more than completed project activities
• Success motivates support for your vision
• Success consolidates smaller changes into a framework, a structure, a larger picture
