Large Scale #Behavioural Change ViralChangeTM, ViralSafetyTM, BackStageLeadershipTM - IP from body of work of @LeandroEHerrero

Change should be (and can be) something positive and exciting.
Yet, in many organizations, it´s perceived as another initiative that probably won´t last long & makes people´s lives harder - when it should do the opposite.

A behavioural epidemic - negative work attitude, toxic group behaviour etc. - can’t be fought by tackling every single problem.

It needs a behavioural counter-epidemic to take over: an epidemic of positive behaviours, motivated and productive employees showing an alternative...

[ViralChangeTM @ViralChangeTM]

The traditional company therapy for negative behavioural epidemics has been Training (‘we will teach everybody how to behave’). But these therapies are limited. They all try to fight the issue from within and with rational approaches

- when we really need social movements.

"We can map new processes and systems and call it change. But if people´s behaviours haven´t changed much, all we have is an illusion of change."

You can map new processes and re-arrange the organization chart, install corporate software, explain to people why this is good and necessary, create a massive communication and training campaign..

But there will be no change unless behaviours change!

Culture change is not long and difficult. But we make it so…

"Restructuring to force collaboration, is likely to create more anxiety than collaboration. Structural solutions for behavioural problems hardly work." https://t.co/9XPUSH8UiT

How can we enhance diversity & inclusion in organizations?

Go down to the granular side (behavioural): What is diversity? How do you recognise it in terms of what people do? Translate into behaviours. (Tipp: "being courteous" is not a behaviour, "greeting your co-workers" is).

[ViralChangeTM @ViralChangeTM]

Many top down interventions fail because they rely on cascades of information, which is a logical way to ‘communicate’ but a notoriously bad system to change behaviours.

How you can rescue DEI from its hijackers?

One tipp from our CEO´s article: Don’t address DEI in isolation, as a distinct entity of some sort. Blend it with broader culture change and evolution. https://t.co/4pOA0AS978

"If you want to change things, you need to have a purpose, bring others along, plan properly, organise resources and implement the changes. " Who could disagree?
But to really make a change, organizations need to go beyond the "imposssible to disagree with school of management".

[ViralChangeTM @ViralChangeTM]

"How can we get everyone on board, across layers/locations ?", is a question many of us have heard when it comes to organizational/cultural change.

Did you know that organizations are intricate networks? Surprisingly, many organizations lack a deep understanding of their own networks.

Connectivity, Communication and Collaboration are the three magic ‘Cs’ in organizations. They live in both the formal and informal channels of the firm.

"We often assume that connectivity is always good, that collaboration is always desirable, and that communications have to be working very well as a default. Suspend judgement." (Dr. Leandro Herrero)

Organizational Culture Change needs to be led by those with natural influence - not the CEO, volunteers, or high performers.

In the formal organization, you would not survive without knowing the teams you have, their composition, their goals etc. In today´s work environment, we need to understand the informal organization to the same degree!

Distributed Leadership is a far more powerful engine of change than the hierarchical leadership. To orchestrate Distributed Leadership, we need 1. Network Science Insights, and 2. Viral Change™ for the implementation.

Many top down change interventions fail because they rely on cascades of information, which is a logical way to ‘communicate’ but a notoriously bad system to change behaviours (and there is no change unless there is behavioural change).

Corporate loves the maths of addition (number of workshops, number of packages, number of people, layers of them) but does not usually understand multiplication. Unfortunately, as we say in Viral Change™ as one of our mantras, ‘no multiplication, no social movement - no change´.
