Resistance is a Sign that You’ve Done

Something Wrong *

* With a few exceptions.


Why People Resist Change

1. They don’t understand why it’s needed.

2. They weren’t involved.

3. It’s a “change” vs. true improvement.

Theme: “What is our area of focus?” Owner: Person accountable for results.

Plan Do, Study, Adjust

Background

Current Condition

Countermeasures / Implementation Plan

Effect Confirmation

Follow-up Actions

• What?

• Who?

• When?

• Where? (if relevant)

Target Condition / Measurable Objectives

• Diagram of desired state

• Measurable targets – how will we know that the improvement has been successful?

• Diagram of current situation or process

• What about it is not ideal?

• Extent of the problem (metrics)

• Problem statement

• Context - Why is this a problem? How large is the problem?

Root Cause & Gap Analysis

• Graphical depiction of the most likely direct (root) causes

• What measurable results did the solution achieve (or will be measured to verify effectiveness)?

• Who’s responsible for ongoing measurement?

• Where else in the organization can this solution be applied?

• How will the improved state be standardized and communicated?


It’s Uplifting to Kaizen…

It’s traumatizing

to be kaizen’d.


The People Who Do the Work are the

Experts


Leaders determine strategy (what needs to happen)

Workers determine tactics (how it will happen)

Tampering!

4. What’s the root cause?


What About the One Resister That You Can’t Turn?

2. They may need to find a new “home.”


In Summary…

• Use well-designed charters.

• Socialize the charters.

• Use robust problem solving (PDSA) to make true improvement.

• Involve the people who do the work being improved (or who work in the environment being improved).

– Include upstream suppliers and downstream customers.

• Hold periodic briefings.

Change Doesn’t Have to Be As Hard as We Make It


Your Questions

• What are some examples of the hardest resistance to change you’ve encountered & how did you overcome them?

• When does one decide that a company has a totally hopeless culture to change? Examples?

• How do you deal with people who are close to retirement?
