Our ability to effectively adapt our institutions and engage many hearts, minds, and arms to deal with rapid and complex changes will have a profound impact on how we collectively address these challenges.

Change is hard. And it never stops. The volatility, speed, and uncertainty that comes with change has been increasing exponentially over the past several decades, and organizations often have a difficult time keeping up and capitalizing on the opportunities that come with change. John Kotter is one of the preeminent voices on leadership and how companies can transform to keep pace with change. As Professor of Leadership, and Emeritus, at the Harvard Business School and founder of Kotter International, a management consulting firm, Kotter is the author of 20+ books, including his latest, CHANGE: How Organizations Achieve Hard-to-Imagine Results Despite Uncertain and Volatile Times. Kotter joins the podcast to talk about why human beings and organizations have difficulty responding to change and what's required to lead change in a complex, large-scale business environment. Listen to this episode to learn: • Why organizational rules established to reduce risk -- and our survival instincts -- often hamper our ability to see, feel, and respond to change as rapidly as we need to in today's world • How a “dual system” inside an organization harnesses the entrepreneurial leadership required for collaboration and innovation, as well as the structures and rules meant to maintain efficiency and keep things running reliably • Why a high sense of urgency is critical to undertake major change • Why a “burning platform” is a great way to catch people's attention but won't keep them motivated for the long-term to solve complex business or social issues like climate change • Why data can ensure you're “not fooling yourself” but can also lead to information overload and anxiety For more information: https://www.kotterinc.com/book/change/

The Road to Effective Leadership and Successful Organizational Change, with John P. Kotter   John P. Kotter joins us on the show for episode 25 of the Re-Thinking the Human Factor Podcast.   We know that while some of our listeners will see his name and ask themselves, “Who?”,  those who are familiar with John P. Kotter’s work will be asking, “How?”. As in, ‘How did they get him on the podcast?’. Wherever you find yourself on the spectrum, we are very excited to bring you this interview with someone whom we consider to be a living legend.   John P. Kotter is regarded by many as the authority on leadership and change. He is a New York Times best-selling author, award winning business and management thought leader, business entrepreneur, inspirational speaker and Harvard Professor. Kotter’s ideas, books, speeches, and company, Kotter International, have helped mobilise people around the world to better lead organisations, and their own lives, in an era of increasingly rapid change.   Change management is an area in cyber security that requires consistent learning, creativity, re-tooling, and re-thinking. We know that. So we are excited to share this pertinent interview with you today. JOIN JOHN KOTTER AND BRUCE HALLAS AS THEY DISCUSS: The importance of having time for reflection in order to bring about clarity of thought. Clarity is the door to creativity, curiosity, innovation, and ultimately, change. We have two systems operating at a subconscious level - Survival Mode, a system developed over time to help us identify and respond to threats quickly in order to to ensure survival. Thrive mode, which is the brain’s system for recognising opportunity and is most likely responsible for our species emerging from the Savannah and from caves. Understanding these two modes is important. An organisation whose leaders and workers operating most often in Survival Mode will have a far more difficult time accessing the clarity and creativity that Thrive Mode affords us. This ultimately means that change and innovation will be more difficult to accomplish in those organisations. What factors are present in organisations that have successfully implemented organisational changes vs. those that fail to meet their objectives. Understanding various barriers to change, such as - How our dominant survival trait when married with desire for consistent output creates an environment where change is difficult Complacency, a huge barrier to change False urgency, which is driven by the Survival system The power of a Guiding Coalition to help achieve organisational change and the difference between that style of leadership vs. traditional management styles Best practice around communication - Emotional communication is more sticky than dry, non-emotional messaging. Interestingly enough, a person with buy-in for an idea is more likely to naturally convey emotion when speaking about the idea than the one who is going along because he/she has to do so. Frequency is also key to making messages stick Communicating ideas in various ways helps ensure the message is picked up by lots of different people Enabling situations where quick wins are possible for an organisation is a necessary practice for a few reasons - Establishing credibility for a change initiative is a huge issue at the beginning of the change process, and quick wins establish the necessary trust in an idea so that buy-in is possible. Quick wins then enact the Thrive System in the brain when the brain receives feedback that progress is being made. A series of wins keeps the Thrive System running and helps people to hang in for the long haul of proposed change.   RESOURCES AND TOPICS FOR FURTHER STUDY Guiding Coalitions The availability heuristic bias Survival Mode vs. Thrive Mode   MORE ABOUT JOHN P.

by Carol Anderson, Featured Contributor [su_dropcap style="flat"]C[/su_dropcap]HANGE MANAGEMENT is about people, performance and leadership, ergo, one would think HR should be leading the charge (or at least playing a major role). Unfortunately, in many cases, HR is not involved because it does not bring the skill sets that would be useful to organizational change or is simply not even invited to the party. More concerning is that CEO’s don’t hold their HR leadership accountable for building the necessary expertise that would facilitate effecting change. Without the internal expertise, organizations, more often than not, look to outside consultants to provide the needed assistance to effect the organizational changes they’re looking for. What’s striking here, even with the expertise of outside consultants, change guru John Kotter, (Kotter International) still claims that 70% of change efforts fail; this is a pretty dismal record. Kotter’s approach for “change management” is for organizations to “take a consistent, holistic approach to changing themselves,” and “engaging their workforce effectively.” Hmmm. Changing themselves. Engaging their workforce. Sounds like learning, development and human resources to me so why isn’t HR part of the solution? Kotter’s research spans 4 decades and. I have almost 4 decades of HR executive roles in large, multi-unit organizations behind me and from what I’ve seen, Kotter’s research is dead on. Change may come in the form of a merger, a shift in technology, the launch of a new strategy, or a change in organizational leadership. And each change or combination of changes create anxiety and concern in the workforce, which requires strong, coordinated leadership that understand the dynamics of change, foster open channels of candid communication, and facilitate a careful exploration of organizational culture in the context of the change. Leading the leadership in providing the organizational guidance is where HR can bring tremendous value because HR has, or should have, a top level view of people, programs and process. They have a unique vantage point to breach silos and facilitate organizational change If HR is going to “lead the change” process, they need the knowledge, skills and resources to make it happen. Many HR Teams, though, are missing the critical expertise needed for leading change. For example, HR needs: Project Management skills. I’m not talking about HR being project managers but they must understand the need for effective project management so they can provide good counsel as part of the leadership team, counsel that could include ensuring there is executive sponsorship with authority and courage to make key decisions, having a having a clear definition of the purpose, scope and expected results, and evaluating the results against the expectations. Learning and development skills. With organizational change comes the need for behavioral change, and the more dramatic the change, the more intentional the organization must be in defining, teaching and holding themselves accountable for the behavior change. Kotter says to “engage the workforce,” but that is not an easy task. It means that the workforce needs to clearly understand both the change and the need to change. It means that they need a voice to share concerns and provide input. Organizational learning is all about setting clear expectations, providing knowledge and resources, and evaluating and tweaking the result, and developing strength in leadership to lead change. The programs and processes that are typically owned by HR – training and performance management – should align to the realities of the organizational change. HR needs to lead this effort because “HR is all about people.” HR leadership that can assess learning needs, create formal and informal learning opportunities, and evaluate the effectiveness are, in fact, leading organizational change. If the HR programs do not accomplish this,
