Any change projects needs to start with a first step. Because change is associated with a lot of uncertainty, it is not a bad idea to organize pilot projects, also called "Proof of Concept" (PoC), in which the new idea can be tested. However, you must be aware that a piloting phase often takes an extra amount of energy. In pilot phases, people cover new ground and they need to be sure that they can return to a safe haven. So before people are ready to test the change they need to feel assured that a nurturing and mentoring environment - a safety net, so to say - has been errected around them. They also need extra time to reflect and digest their experiences. So, pilot phases require a narrow feedback loop and an established trust base between the experimenters and their bosses and peers.


Questions for Deeper Exploration

  • What do we know about the needs, concerns and circumstances of our people?
  • What prevents people from freely expressing their needs?
  • How do all make sure that concerns, purposes and needs of our people are acknowledged, respected and taken care of?
  • Where do we experience resistance to change which might be an expression of unsatisfied needs?

Agora

What tools would you use to work in the Laboratory?

Please add tools, links, articles etc. for organizations which want tocreate pilots that help them learn about their change processes.Continue

Tools I have found extremely useful in change management projects include:

Isivivane for Change and Transformation - a model used for teambuilding, change management, innovation and KM in a variety of corporations, Government & NGOs Isivivane.com

Another useful model we use is based on game theory and provides the metaphor that whatever we do in life can be seen as a game. It provides a facilitation method to deconstruct existing games and create new, more empowering games Gameplaying in Corporate

Some tools for the laboratory IMHO include discussion and agreement around:
->creating models and metamodelling.
->using models
->agreed methodologies / paradigms to employ
->ethical principles & code of ethics (we are working with people here)
->A library of different models / techniques and their application
