INNOVATION & ITERATION
Reflecting on the recent Change Management Institute Event, we explore how small, consistent improvements lead to substantial outcomes. Through iterative progress, organisations can innovate sustainably, addressing complex challenges incrementally. Real-world examples highlight enhanced customer service, product development, and compliance adaptation. Embracing the Six ITs™ framework, particularly ITer-IT!, fosters dynamic, collaborative, and satisficing solutions.
CULTURE: HOW WE DO THINGS .. DIFFERENTLY?
Gallup defines company culture as "how we do things around here" emphasising the actions shaping an organisation day to day. But taking the medical technology industry as an initial example we see how leaders must balance these actions between flexibility and structure when innovation meets regulatory compliance. Expanding our view into other areas we go on to explore how our upcoming Workshop will help you understand and utilise this tension as it plays out in your own organisation.
GALLUP 2024 STATE OF THE GLOBAL WORKPLACE REPORT
Gallup's 2024 State of the Global Workplace report reveals a global decline in employee mental health, with 20% experiencing daily loneliness. Robust labor laws and engaged managers improve life evaluations but face challenges. YourBigPic's apoproah for team-building activities, manager training, and based on the principles of fair labour practices with continuous improvement. These strategies help create supportive, engaging environments, prioritising people and driving sustainable success.
INNOVATE REWARDS EFFECTIVELY
In this fifth part of our series, we delve into innovative reward systems, highlighting the crucial distinction between Rewards and recognition. By tailoring incentives to individual preferences, organisations can significantly boost morale and drive engagement. We explore how personalised rewards and public recognition balance intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, fostering a motivated and loyal workforce. Embrace continuous feedback and growth opportunities to create a more engaged team.
BIAS & INNOVATION
In a recent Change Management Institute event, the fascinating influence of biases on decision-making was highlighted, particularly how they can stifle innovation within organisations. Drawing on concepts from Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow," the discussion illuminated our tendency to rely on instinctive 'chimp brain' responses and misfiring heuristics, which often lead us down suboptimal paths.
CHANGE & COMMUNICATION
We delve into the vital role of diverse communication strategies in fostering innovation and change within organisations. It challenges the traditional top-down communication model by highlighting the benefits of incorporating horizontal and bottom-up communication. By embracing a broader conversation that includes various internal and external perspectives, organizations can better navigate their inherent complexities. We emphasise the importance of a shared language to unify teams.
