Change Initiator Early Adopters Early Majority Late Majority Laggards Willing to take risk on change Waits to hear good anecdotes Pragmatic: Wants anecdotal evidence Conservative: Wants to see; Hold on Skeptic: No Way Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” ― Peter F.

Consideration by potential adopters from awareness to adoption.  Relative advantage - Change is perceived as being better than the current state;  Compatibility – Change is perceived to be consistent with the existing values, past experiences and needs of potential adopters;  Complexity - Change is perceived as difficult to adopt;  Trialability - An opportunity to experiment with the change on a limited basis  Observability -Change is visible to others Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting1011 March 2015

 10% are positive leaders and 10% are negative leaders.  80% of people in any given group are followers. Too many leaders are like travel agents – they are sending people where they have never been themselves. Instead you want to be a tour guide – you want to take people with you.

 Elephant ◦ Emotional part is instinctive and feels pain and pleasure  Rider ◦ Reasonor Rational part is reflective, conscious, deliberative and analytical Everyone in an organization is both a Rider and an Elephant Direct the Rider (rational) Motivate the Elephant (emotional) Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting1411 March 2015

 Caused by the elephant ◦ The elephant is much stronger than the rider, but it is lazy and prefers immediate gratification over delayed gratification ◦ Exhaustion due to things that are “true but useless”  Motivate the Elephant ◦ Shrink the change ◦ Find the feeling ◦ Implement small change Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting1511 March 2015

o Change that person’s situation o The solution to changing people behaviour is to change their situation o Emotional conviction o Self control o Laziness is often exhaustion (the Rider wears out trying o to control the Elephant) o People simply run out of will power o Rational direction o Provide crystal-clear direction Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting1611 March 2015

 Direct the Rider ◦ Provide crystal-clear direction  Resistance = Lack of Clarity  Motivate the Elephant ◦ More Elephants than Riders ◦ Elephants need emotional reasons to change  Laziness = exhaustion  Shape the Path (change the situation) ◦ Workflows, systems, habits ◦ Understand the "why" behind the change ◦ Commitment from leaders throughout the organization Chaitanya Baliga - ASQ Meeting1711 March 2015
