The Transition Curve
A framework for thinking about change Vision Skills Incentives Resources Action plan = Change Skills Incentives Resources Action plan = Confusion Incentives Resources Action plan = Anxiety Resources Action plan = Resistance Action plan = Frustration = Treadmill Vision Skills Incentives Resources
Key factors when working with change • Understand the current situation • Have a clear picture of what success looks like • Identify the steps to implement change • Check that you have achieved the desired results. ‘if the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail’ Abraham Maslow
Techniques and tools for working with change • The Solutions Focus (future perfect) • De-Bono’s six hats • Force Field Analysis As well as: – – Decision trees ESD Toolkit Mind mapping Word storm/word showers
Solutions Focus The Solutions Focus approach suggests ways of identifying the ‘future perfect’ • What if a miracle happened and the problem went away overnight – how would you know? • What would you see? • What would you be doing? • What would other people notice that was different?
De Bono’s six hats • White: Focuses on information known or needed. Deals with facts. • Red: Responds to emotions, feelings and intuition, without explanation. • Blue: Organises the thinking process; considers all the aspects that need to be thought through. • Green: Thinks creatively, considering the possibilities, alternatives and new ideas. • Yellow: Optimistic, positive; looks for benefits and what is good. • Black: Judgemental, critical; looks for why something is wrong or might not work.
Force Field Analysis Helps you to identify ways of ‘pushing’ or ‘pulling’ a change by analysing the drivers and barriers. • Identify what could drive the change • Identify what could restrain it • Find ways of increasing the drivers and/or reducing the restrainers
Force Field Analysis Implementing ILT into the creative arts curriculum area Forces for – driving forces Forces against – restraining forces Strategic indicators to use ILT. 4 4 No funds. Inspection soon. 5 3 Reluctance from many tutors to start new training. Small group of keen tutors. Poor connectivity at many centres. Learners want to use technology. Old and tired ICT equipment. Tutors not keen to use laptops in craft rooms.
