Old Paradigm – Newtonian Business Systems are mechanical in nature (Newtonian) What gets measured gets managed Standard processes drive productivity Technology is an enabler is the communication of choice Real change only happens when organizations fail
Internal And External Change Agents The Organization Political The current and potential influences from political pressures Economic The local, national and world economy impact Sociological The ways in which changes in society affect the organization Environmental The local, national and world environmental issues. Technological The effect of new and emerging technology Legal The effect of national and world legislation
The Effects of Change The Organization e.g. Political The Organization Amount of Change Minimum to allow the organization to regain equilibrium in a Newtonian business world Type of Change Hierarchies and structures are preserved and change seen as unwelcome
New Paradigm – Quantum Business Systems are organic in nature (Quantum) What gets measured gets worked around Creative continuous learning environments drive productivity Technology is often a business inhibitor is no replacement for true leadership and communication Real change only happens when organizations dare to fail
Internal And External Change Agents Political The current and potential influences from political pressures Economic The local, national and world economy impact Sociological The ways in which changes in society affect the organization Environmental The local, national and world environmental issues. Technological The effect of new and emerging technology Legal The effect of national and world legislation The Organization
The Effects of Change The Organization e.g. Political The Organization Amount of Change Each cell (team) adapts to differing degrees and re- synchronizes with the whole quantum business Type of Change Teams may come in and out of existence to meet the new challenges and change is both expected and embraced
Outcomes from Quantum Business Structures are temporary, project based Hierarchies inhibit competitive growth People need to be flexible in their roles and positions in teams (tricky) Communication of the changing vision is key Leadership needs to be displayed at all levels People need to feel able to fail
Moving from Newtonian to Quantum Business Looking over the precipice Freeing the mind Creating the dream Vision to action Changing what happens Re-enforcing and continuous change
Changing from the Top True leadership over functional management Behavioural shifts (individual, organizational) Financial efficiency (cuts, reallocation) Program improvements Structural changes (leadership, management, etc.) Communications/education strategy shifts Policy changes
