Process Expert Trainer......................Trainer of Trainers Mediator............. Shuttle Diplomat Thermometer........ Moral/Ethical Sounding Board Strategic Planner................. Strategic Visionary Systems Thinker.................. Systems Designer Organizational Assessor...... Organizational Architect

6 Sample OD Wisdom Resistance to change is not irrational Training is not the solution to all problems Disconnects are data Leadership is necessary, but not sufficient The big 3: Strategy, Structure, Process Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

7 Selected Aspects of Dispute Resolution Systems Informal resolution Complaint systems Open door policies Survey and feedback systems Training interventions Affinity groups Coaching and mentoring systems Ombuds offices Grievance procedures Mediation Arbitration Adjudicatory processes Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

8 Concurrent Layers of Conflict Resolution Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes External adjudication The grievance procedure and other dispute resolution forums Formal leadership efforts at all levels to anticipate and prevent difficult situations Informal efforts by co-workers, supervisors, union representatives and others to address the issues in these difficult situations Countless inappropriate, disrespectful, complicated, and conflictual situations

9 Functional and dysfunctional systems for dispute resolution A Dysfunctional System A Functional System Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes Power Rights Interests Power Rights Interests Source: Getting Disputes Resolved: Designing Systems to Cut the Costs of Conflict, by William Ury, Jeanne Brett and Stephen Goldberg (Jossey-Bass, 1988) Contract Administration

10 Systems Change --Top Down Concept of Re-engineering – Many meanings, from a pretext for restructuring and downsizing to a systematic review of operations --if its not broke, break it Roots private and public sectors, including re-inventing government First driven by economic crisis, now seen as a process for system change GE workout process as a proto-type Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

11 System Change --Bottom Up Concept of Kaizen – Many meanings, from tangible improvement activities to an underlying philosophy and a way of life --you are never done improving Roots in post WWII Japan – First seen piecemeal --quality circles (QC), statistical process control (SPC), just-in-time (JIT) delivery – Increasingly seen from a systems perspective --Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Preventative Maintenance (TPM), Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI), Toyota Production System (TPS) Kaizen-teian systems --many small improvements build capability for system change Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

12 Systems Change --Pilot/Diffusion Concept of Pilot Experiments – Many types of pilots Pilot teams, facilities, business units – Selecting where to pilot If it will work here, it will work anywhere Begin with small successes Target bottleneck/priority areas – Plan for lessons from the pilot experiment to guide subsequent diffusion – Issue of managing multiple concurrent pilots Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

13 Systems Change --Wall-to-Wall Concept of Wall-to-Wall – Requires unfreezing event or bold leadership – System-wide shifts in policy or fundamental changes in external context – Gradual diffusion is not an option – the entire organization must change – Requires substantial planning and resources Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

14 System Change Debates Two debates: – Direction of change: Kaizen versus re- engineering – Scope of change: Pilot/diffusion versus wall-to- wall Debate format: – Opening Statements (1 min.) Within team consultation (1 minute) – Rebuttal (2 min.) Within team consultation (1 minutes) – Closing Statements (1 min.) Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

15 Bargaining Strategies Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

16 Strategies for Negotiated Change Change strategies and negotiation blind sides – Top-down re-engineering Forcing process makes recovery afterwards difficult – Bottom-up process improvement Fostering process makes subsequent conflict difficult – Pilot-experiment and diffusion Diffusion depends on a combination of forcing and fostering Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes

17 Risky links between tactics with strategy Hard ForcingSoft Fostering Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes Claiming value Assertive Divide and conquer Creating value Empathetic Internal Consensus

18 Promising links between tactics and strategy Robust Fostering and Restrained Forcing Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes Empathy and Assertiveness Creating value and Claiming Value Appreciating internal differences

19 Analysis of Negotiation Blind Sides and Process Improvement Initiatives Discussion of forcing and fostering aspects of implementation Identification of potential blind sides Construction of mitigation plans Reports to the full group and discussion Materials Developed by Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld and Thomas Kochan (MIT) for use in ESD.140 Organizational Processes
