All projects address designing the solution for the future state. However, most set up a Design Team or use consultants primarily of content experts to come up with their best recommendation. However, recall: “Having the solution is not the solution”! The design process directly impacts your ability to get the solution adopted and sustained. Content expertise, while essential, is not sufficient, especially if your project is transformational. To consciously address scope and design, we need to also clarify mindset, culture and stakeholder behavior, all required for a complete picture of how the new state needs to function. The episode discusses the importance of these competencies as well as expansion of the design process to ensure the best solution is generated and can be adopted and sustained. How do you address design and is it working for you?To watch the full video version of this podcast, please visit AskDrChange.com. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Using the ten most common mistakes as an assessment of your organization's current reality in leading change is a powerful way to identify the costliest of the mistakes. Only then can leaders and internal change support resources look at how the mistakes come to happen and options for how to reduce their negative impact or avoid them completely. This episode takes each mistake and outlines several actions you might take to reduce or mitigate them. Leaders becoming aware of the mistakes and your organization's rating against them can serve as a springboard to remedying them and up-leveling how your organization leads change and produces desired results.Hosted by Ausha.

While leading major change efforts is happening in all organizations, the effectiveness given the multitude of ways it is led produces vastly different results.

This is a major paradigm shift for leaders and all in-house change resources! We present and discuss five strategic disciplines for change and how each can support the organization to dramatically uplevel its methods and oversight of all major changes.

Most Change Management practitioners rightly focus a lot of energy and attention on managing their stakeholders to overcome resistance and adopt the future state. While helpful, this does not guarantee generating the amount of momentum required for a project to achieve its desired outcomes.

By identifying and managing a project's supporters, fence-sitters and resistors each in special ways, momentum can be generated and sustained.

Most organizational change efforts rely on the tried-and-true approaches of Project Management and Change Management. However, when a project is transformational, it requires an expanded approach, beyond these two. Transformational change has a unique set of requirements that need attention before—and after—these standard approaches come in to play. This episode outlines the distinctions of transformational change and how you can lead and consult to it so it is launched, designed, implemented and adopted for sustained results. This requires Conscious Change Leadership. Building off the value of traditional approaches, Conscious Change Leadership executes the start-to-completion strategies for transformational success.

As a Change Consultant, when should I consider not accepting a project because of clear adverse leadership, buy-in or cultural issues? There is nothing worse than being tied up in a change project that has no chance of succeeding.

Leaders have a critical choice to make when initiating change. How they frame and communicate the change impacts how it's received and embraced by the organization. Understanding the motivation behind change - whether it's a wake-up call, a threat, a vision of something different, or an inspiration - is paramount.  Our episode begins with a thought-provoking question from Charles, a seasoned change management consultant. Charles is grappling with a challenging scenario where leaders have framed a crucial change in negative, threatening terms. The fear and uncertainty this has generated are casting a long shadow over the change process. Rumors are rife, fear and anxiety fuel decision-making and communications, and progress seems to have stalled.  So, how can we navigate this situation? What strategies can we employ to shift the narrative from fear to possibility? These questions are at the heart of today's discussion.   We'll explore the human dynamics when change is announced in compelling and positive terms versus negative terms. We'll discuss strategies for how to turn things around if the initial launch message is threatening and delve into the rationale for leaders consciously focusing on what is possible to co-create when the outcome is successful.  To watch the full video version of this podcast, please visit AskDrChange.com. Hosted by Ausha.

Most leaders are rightfully focused on getting the best content solution designed and implemented to satisfy a need in the organization. However, this focus requires additional attention on how the stakeholders will be impacted and engaged, and how the change process is designed to ensure the best solution is generated, implemented, adopted and sustained. Many change consultants are not positioned to directly Influence leaders to expand their attention to strategic People and Process dynamics when leading initiatives. This podcast describes the types of attention needed and ways to reach these leaders so they begin to appreciate and take on influencing how people are affected and the change process is designed. Come learn how to get the attention of leaders to go beyond the content solution to set up their initiatives and stakeholders for success so they achieve sustained business benefits.  Guest Question – Margrete Eva – Change Leader  “How do I help leaders to see people and process (specially process) instead of just content?”  To watch the full video version of this podcast, please visit AskDrChange.com Hosted by Ausha.

Every change effort requires a reliable plan to make happen. However, some types of change are well led with pre-determined plans and others, like transformational efforts, are not. Why? So much is emergent in transformation that change leaders and the team need to be supported to figure things out as the project proceeds. Changes in direction or process are inevitable and cannot be seen as mistakes if they provide critical information about what is really needed to succeed. This is a specific condition for success in transformation: establishing a strategic learning and course correction system that can be publicly supported and encouraged. This is a significant paradigm shift for leaders, project managers and typical project teams. Only with timely input and response to indicators for course corrections can a transformational effort stay on its course and come to fruition. This episode explores the power and necessity for creating an agile course correction system and process for your change efforts.   To watch the full video version of this podcast, please visit AskDrChange.com.  Hosted by Ausha.

Today's topic surfaces several important issues about how we as consultants and coaches can best support the people tasked with making change. It is critical to consciously shape our role and style so that we meet the needs of our clients in the best way possible. Too often, consultants and coaches have been trained in a specific approach that becomes “one size fits all.” In the context of major change, that doesn't always work! It is our job to help our clients see what they don't see, in ways that support them to be successful.  Come hear about the various choices we have about our roles and--our styles of executing them--so that we can best meet the needs of our change clients, be they leaders, project managers or change project teams. Come learn a powerful technique for doing so.
