Casual Articles - Managing Change; Overcoming Organisational Inertia
Leading organizational change requires a manifesto for change. Your manifesto begins by saying the following:1. I understand that all progress requires change but all change is not progress.2. I understand that all change comes from leadership but not all leaders can drive change.Okay, if you truly get that the next step is to answer these two questions:1. What problem am I trying to solve?2. What will success look like when I solve it?It’s important that you answer the two questions above. They are the key to your change success. Because you must know that the

The Think Tank we started a few years back got to the point that we needed to expand and go with the demand for new members or keep it small. Either way, we had to do some thing. After much thought we decided to try a little re-branding;Our new title is The Online Think Tank (unless we decide to re-Brand it later to serve a greater audience or spin-off one division for a separate endeavor). You see our members believe we must resurrect the Geological Society of Europe and set up networks of Online Think Tank Chapters using the Internet, social online networks, forums, bulletin boards, Blogs, iPod
What I have learnt during those years of continual change is that on when entering a new role in an organisation where change is required there is about six weeks to make an impact. Within six weeks we need to establish what merit exists for what level of change and make our intentions known.
My rationale behind this observation stems from the fact that organisational inertia is a significant barrier to change. If we do not make a conscious decision about change and signal our intention, we are easily sucked into the existing general pattern of organisational inertia.

One of the coolest jobs is to become a designer of consumer products and there is good pay in it. Think of the people who designed the Norelco Razors or the Automatic Tooth Brush or the iPod. Very fun stuff no doubt and all those we have interviewed love their jobs and liken it to designing futuristic cars for GM, Ford, Ferrari or Jaguar.Even former aerospace workers, NASA scientists and race car designers have in fact enjoyed their careers so much that they become designers of a different type after retirement. What do all these people really consider when deciding what types of careers they can

Sociologists put 100 people in a room for fifteen minutes. They secretly instructed two of those people to say only negative things, and the other 98 to say only positive things. Guess how long it took the two negative people to find each other and talk? Fifteen minutes! Like attracts like.Some entrepreneurs love to blame their bad financial circumstances on others. But when things are good, they’re quick to take credit for it. That doesn’t make sense. Two entrepreneurs in exactly the same city, same market, selling the same products for the same price: one makes a fortune while the other one goe

Interviewing an expert and sharing their ideas with others is not a new concept. Experts have been doing radio and television interviews for decades. They use these platforms to create awareness for their company and what they stand for, as well as to educate listeners and ultimately sell products.The same techniques are used today using a different medium - teleseminars. Just like the radio, teleseminars can be something as simple as a recorded phone call between two people that may or may not allow listeners to ask questions.Let's take a look at this technique from two standpoints. How c

Wire binding is a common binding method. It provides a secure bind keeping the pages in place and producing a professional, neat-looking document. It is of great use for reports, books and more. This wire binding results in documents that can be turned through 360° for easy opening of laid flat, and have a high-quality appearance.This binding uses a strip of plastic or wire that passes through a series of holes to bind together a stack of paper. A sturdier alternative to the single wire spirals or the plastic comb is wire binding. The wire forms teeth or double loops that fit into rectangular hol
Organisational inertia is the lack of ability of an organisation to react to external and internal shocks. The inability to react, for example, to a competitor's dramatic change in prices, or a new government policy or a rapid decline in a country's gross domestic product, is organisational inertia.
Organisational inertia is caused by many factors, a few of which I will illustrate.
One simple factor is the sheer level of career movement so prevalent now. People are not in a role long enough to take responsibility for their mistakes.
Changing anything in an organisation can easily be made to take eighteen to twenty four months. Thus, the incumbent moves on six months after implementation is completed, if it is indeed, completed. They never have to see whether what they changed worked or had unintended consequences.
Not being in a role long enough to see conseq
