Why is change so difficult?
Discussion Questions

Did you view changing seats as an opportunity to sit with someone new or as an uncomfortable or undesirable change?
What are some things that make people resistant to change?
What can you do to make it easier for people in your organization to accept the changes associates with Lean and Six Sigma?
If participants move back to their old seating arrangements after the exercise is over, ask the following questions:
Why is it difficult to maintain changes once they are made?
Facilitator Notes
Encourage participants to consider and share their own personal emotions related to making changes. This is what makes the exercise powerful. Another twist to this game might be asking participants to change seats frequently, which also can help them enhance their personal ability to deal with change.

4. CHANGE IS NECESSARY
Tomorrow’s world will be different from today’s world
Organizations will need to adapt to changing market conditions and at the same time cope with the need for a renewing rather than a reactive workforce.
Organizations are never completely static and they are in continuous interaction with external forces.
Blanchard

How many of you even know what this is?
Change is inevitable, and necessary for survival.
Without change you become obsolete or worst discarded.
The first commercially produced typewriter: The Hansen Writing Ball
The pincushion-like machine had 52 keys on a large brass hemisphere. Some models have been produced, but the most famous was the portable "tall model" (in the pictures), produced from 1875.

6. CHANGE Ask the group how many of them do not own a cell phone?
Ask the group how many do not own a house phone.
Discuss the fact that home phone represented the majority of telephone communication just 15 to 20 years ago.
About one-third of U.S. households have ditched landline phones, driven by younger Americans relying on their cellphones, new Census Bureau data showed Thursday. Just under 71% of households had landlines in 2011, down from a little more than 96% 15 years ago. Cellphone ownership reached 89%, up from about 36% in 1998, the first year the survey asked about the devices.
The youngest households are abandoning landlines in droves. About two-thirds of households led by people ages 15 to 29 relied only on cellphones in 2011, compared with 28% for the broader population.
The Census survey reflected the increasing adoption of technology across U.S. households. It also showed some improvement in housing and community conditions, along with greater difficulty in meeting certain basic needs in some of the nation’s million households.

10. PEOPLE CHANGE WHO? People are the heart beat of an organization:
Fear the unknown
Fear of losing status
Fear of losing control
Communication failure

PEOPLE
People are the heart beat of an organization:
People (Employee) make up the core piece of the puzzle to change. You are the organization /Without people the organization is just an idea
Employee's fear of the unknown of change
Not communicated correctly
People fear change because of the unknown
People lack of understanding causes resistance to change
People self interest (Fear of a personal loss) is the biggest obstacle to organizational change
Keeping people informed and in the loop (People just want to be in the know) of planned or unpreventable changes is critical to a successful change.

22. Lewin’s Change Model Unfreezing Movement Refreezing
Change is a common thread that runs through all businesses regardless of size, industry and age. Our world is changing fast and, as such, organizations must change quickly too. Organizations that handle change well thrive, whilst those that do not may struggle to survive.
By looking at change as process with distinct stages, you can prepare yourself for what is coming and make a plan to manage the transition – looking before you leap, so to speak. All too often, people go into change blindly, causing much unnecessary turmoil and chaos. To begin any successful change process, you must first start by understanding why the change must take place. As Lewin put it, “Motivation for change must be generated before change can occur. One must be helped to re-examine many cherished assumptions about oneself and one’s relations to others.” This is the unfreezing stage from which change begins.

you have a large cube of ice, but realize that what you want is a cone of ice, what do you do? First you must melt the ice to make it amenable to change (unfreeze). Then you must mold the iced water into the shape you want (change). Finally, you must solidify the new shape (refreeze).

Mina Ishiwatari(front) wanted to improve Hoppy drink’s brand image, but most staff didn’t want to change. “I tried to take a new marketing approach to change the image of Hoppy but no one would listen to me.” She improved Hoppy’s popularity with limited support or budget. Most employees who opposed Ishiwatari’s changes have since left the company.
