Chapter 9 Linking vision and change Change Management Chapter 9 Linking vision and change

Vision Having a vision is often linked to why successful organizational change is achieved Conversely, lack of vision is frequently associated with organizational decline The role of vision in producing organizational change is linked to the image one has of managing change (see next 2 slides) Vision is often confused with other terms such as mission statements, goals and values (see Table 9.2) Vision is commonly thought of as a guide for the organization in identifying the appropriateness of particular changes that are proposed

Images of Vision Director: Vision is something that is essential to producing successful organizational change. It should be articulated early on and it is up to leaders to do this. Navigator: Vision is important but not necessarily able to be achieved because of competing visions that exist among various organizational parties and stakeholders. Caretaker: Vision is in many ways immaterial to the way change will proceed. Change is rarely the outcome of visionary actions

Images of Vision Coach: Vision is something that is important and is more likely to emerge through the facilitation skills of the change leader interacting with his or her followers, shaping their agendas and desired futures. Interpreter: Vision is the ability to articulate the inner voice of the organization, that which is lived, be it core ideology or values, and that underpins the identity of the organization. Nurturer: Vision is emergent from the clash of chaotic and unpredictable change forces. Visions are likely to be temporary and always in the process of being rewritten.

Characteristics of Vision An effective vision should have: A cognitive component – focusing on achieving outcomes An affective component – helping to motivate people and increase commitment to the change (Boal & Hooijberg, 2001) Four generic characteristics of vision are: Possibility Desirability Actionability Articulation (Nutt & Backoff, 1997)

More Observations Vision as: aspiration, inspiration, & perspiration (what needs to be done) Beyond bumper stickers, vision as stories: This allows a vivid description of the change to which people can relate. Stories are more effective than simple vision statements because people can imagine themselves and their actions in the future. Much like the newsflash exercise Design a vision for UNLV’s College of Business with a ‘wow’ factor

Context New visions may not ‘take’ in all organizations Has to be readiness for change or a ‘trigger’ of a crisis or external turbulence Organization must have a cculture that accepts change and available resources National cultures may be more or less accepting a different visions

Approaches to Vision There are a number of approaches to creating vision which include: Crafting the vision: this can be either leader-dominated – “telling and selling” pump-priming – “testing and consulting” Facilitated – “”co-creating” Questions that help to develop a vision: this can be done through an intuitive/imaginative, analytic, or benchmarking approach Connecting the vision to the organization’s inner voice: this connects the vision to the underlying values and beliefs that are held within the organization.

Failure of Vision Visions can fail for a number of reasons including being: too specific too vague inadequate too unrealistic (Pendlebury et al., 1998) A vision must be able to adapt over time A dominant vision will be one that outlasts others that may be present within the organization.

Debates linking Vision and Change There are three key debates that link vision and change. Does vision drive change or emerge during change? Does vision help or hinder change? Is vision an attribute of heroic leaders or of heroic organizations?

Questions What criteria do you use to figure out whether a particular vision or vision statement is likely to be useful? Are visions more likely to ‘take’ in some organizations or cultural contexts than others? Why? What process works best to develop a vision? Does vision drive change? Is it crucial or over-rated? Do organizations need visionary leaders? Should we just let vision emerge or evolve?

Mentor Graphics Case How was vision used at Mentor? Did it strengthen or weaken the company? How? Why? What can be said about the vision content, context, and process? Does vision drive change or emerge through change? Does a vision help or hinder change? Is vision an attribute of a heroic leader or heroic organization?
