Emergent Change

by Rick Baker
On Apr 1, 2010
Planned Change & Emergent Change…these are the two types of business change Linda Gregorio described when she presented to the Centre For Family Business last Friday morning. www.cffb.ca
 
[ Linda can be reached by email. ]
 
Here are some of the notes I took as Linda summarized Emergent Change.
 
Emergent Change is happening in your workplace when you can spot:
  • A business-literate work force where people have role knowledge
    • People get the context for Change
    • People understand how Change meshes with Corporate Vision
  • A work force that has permission to act
    • Not managers swooping down on people like seagulls
  • A work force that will challenge the status quo
  • ‘Leaderness’ that encourages a ‘readiness to change’ culture
So, whether or not change happens successfully at your organization depends on your business culture. Put another way…you have the ability to influence that culture. As a leader, or an aspiring leader, you have an obligation to work at creating a business culture that encourages ‘readiness to change’.
 
Here is a sample of the process I am thinking about to encourage a proper business culture, including ‘readiness to change’.
 
I call the process V-C-C-V.
 
Values – Culture – Communication – Value
 
Values: the leader’s personal Values
 
Culture: the sum of the leader’s Values and the Values of everyone at the organization
 
Communication: the leader must share his/her Values…repeatedly
 
Value: then, all parties - employees, clients, shareholders, suppliers, etc – will receive Value
 
More about V-C-C-V in future blogs…
