18. What cool and innovative health
related practices
have you heard of?
19. Traditional Healthcare Culture
• Need to get things done immediately
• Evidence-based practice (scientific proof)
• Information and data are trusted
• Culture change is complicated
• Leaders need to ‘step-up’
• Top-down leadership
• “Standardize and roll it out”
Zimmerman et. al. Healthcare Papers 2013

22. In a Linear World
• One size can fit all
• Process solutions work (Lean, Model
for improvement…)
• Copying best practices makes sense
• Top down leadership (“develop the
program and roll it out”) works
• Checklists work

29. The Reality
“What the leader cares about (and typically bases at
least 80% of his or her message to others on) does
not tap into roughly 80% of the workforce’s primary
motivators for putting extra energy into the change
programme”
Scott Keller and Carolyn Aiken (2009)

32. Old Power Managers Words New Power Manager Words
A project charter is a fundamental step to
making sure our project succeeds.
A general direction is a good first step; we
have no idea what is around the first corner
and we want to adjust if we have to.
I think that we need to strike a steering
committee to make sure we are heading in
the right direction.
I want to gather as many ideas and
opportunities from as many people as
possible.
Role clarity is important to avoid confusion. Let’s see who feels they are good and
interested at the task at hand.
A thoughtful project plan will keep us on
track.
Assessing where we need to go as we start
the work will be our guide.
A literature review at the outset of our project
will give us an environmental scan and help
us set the course.
Observing blogs, social media and
conference discussions on an ongoing basis
will inform our work along the way.
A clear vision by our leaders is
fundamentally important.
A shared purpose that invokes passion and
excitement will grow our community.
Consulting experts to establish a direction is
a key objective.
Crowd sourcing ideas from outsiders and
inviting diversity of thought is a key way for
us to know what to do!

33. What are some of your behaviours
that could be seen as old power?
34. New Power
WAYS of Working
• Change Platforms
• Dual Operating Systems
• Innovation Labs
• Hackathons
• Holacracy
• Design Thinking
49. Indicators of Bureaucratic Mass
Overhead Number of management layers
Friction Percentage of time non-managerial
employees spend on internal compliance
Insularity Percentage of total headcount that is not
directly customer-facing
Disempowerment The percentage of employee time that is
not self-directed
Conservatism Extent of perceived disincentives to
personal risk-taking
Mistrust The percentage of employees who don’t
have the opportunity to weigh in on key
policy decisions
Gary Hamel, 2016
52. Some Inconvenient truths
1. What motivates you may not motivate
them
2. Let them write/tell their own story
3. Both positive and negative are important
4. You are part of the problem
5. Influence leaders may not be influential
Keller and Aiken, McKinsey and Company, 2000
53. Some Inconvenient truths
6. Money may not motivate
7. The process is as important as the
outcome
8. Employees are what they think
9. Good intentions are not enough
Keller and Aiken, McKinsey and Company
56. How is this different from “sharing”
best practices?
“Point of Care” Ownership
• Winning practices are highly
sensitive to the local
context
• Winning practices come
from those who are
“touching the problem”
• Practices are spread virally
peer to peer
• Sustained
Sharing Best Practices
• What worked there should
work here. Variability is
discouraged
• Winning practices come
from experts
• Practices are spread in top
down fashion
• Often not sustained
57. I’m sorry I broke your company
We have been led to believe…that businesses are
logical and run by the numbers and that their
models and theories will provide step-by-step
instructions on how to succeed.
But
Businesses are people—irrational, emotional,
unpredictable, creative, oddly gifted, and
sometimes ingenious people who don’t operate
according to the theories.
Karen Phelan, 2013
Big strategic moves fail – as they are using old processes. Organizations are struggling to be nibble – the small start ups are outperforming the big companies.
Hierarchical structures and organizational processes we have used for decades to run and improve our enter prises are no longer up to the task of winning in this faster moving world. A company should reconsider strategies every few years.
Hierarchy is good for running a company; but it essential that a company identified hazards and opportunities early enough. To formulate creative strategic initiatives nimbly enough – and implement the fast enough.
John Kotter proposes a secondary operating system – one that complements rather than overburdens the traditional hierarchy “both and”
One is rational and one is emotional.
2 essential elements of hierarchy: 1) political: managers loathe to take chances without risk and 2) culturally: we cling to the habits and fear loss of power and stature.
