Just Like New Year’s Resolutions Lean/Change Efforts Can Be Hard
We Are Looking For Companies That Have Had a Slow/Failed Attempt at Lean for a Study
Change efforts typically succeed 25-30% of the time the first time you try. Here are the reasons why they fail:
- Not Strategic
- Attitude vs Behavior Focused
- Agreement vs Alignment Focused
- Procedures vs Outcomes Focused
- The Change is Experienced as Disruption
- Enforce Compliance Over Commitment
Typical results:
- A Few Try to Convince Many That Change is Needed
- Partial Responsibility/Ownership Mindset
- Change is Perceived as a Disruption of “Real Work”
- Pace of Change is too Slow
- Breakdown at Implementation
What’s Missing:
- Attention to Stability-in-Change
- Creating Positive Emotional Attraction at the Outset Making Change internally Driven vs. Perception of Being Forced To Change
- Finding a Compelling Positive Future Image – Fosters Internal Drive vs. Perception of Being Forced to Change
- Emphasizing Co-learning vs. Participation for the Sake of Making People Feel They Have a Voice
