    The Human Side of Change: Satir, Patterns, Systems, and Complexity with Don Gray

    Have ideas for the show? Liked a topic? Let us know! In this episode of That Change Show, Jason sits down with Don Gray for a deep dive into the realities of change management—beyond frameworks, buzzwords, and rigid processes. They explore why change is messy, how emotions and values shape resistance, and why organizations often focus on the wrong levers when trying to transform. Drawing from personal experiences, the Satir Change Model, and insights from complex systems thinking, Jason and Don challenge the traditional right-hand-side approach to change (processes & tools) and emphasize the often-overlooked left-hand-side (culture, strategy, and human dynamics). Along the way, they revisit stories from the Aye Conference, Agile 2012, and Problem Solving Leadership (PSL) workshops, discussing how adaptive thinking, small shifts, and informal change agents can lead to meaningful transformation. What You’ll Learn: ✅ Why organizations resist change—and why that’s normal ✅ The butterfly effect of small shifts in complex systems ✅ How patterns form, evolve, and disrupt change efforts ✅ The power of timing, emotions, and informal change agents ✅ Why solving problems for people actually makes things worse 🎧 Listen now to rethink how you approach change!

    Untangling the Organizational Hairball

    Have ideas for the show? Liked a topic? Let us know! Join us for an enlightening conversation as esteemed facilitator Donna Jones ( https://www.dawnajones.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnahjones/) guides us through the complexities of systems thinking in organizational contexts. With a rich backdrop of experience and a reflective nod to our meeting in Estonia 12 years ago, Donna offers profound insights into how organizational systems can influence behavior. We discuss the necessity of adaptability over rigid absolutes and explore how stepping back, much like the fluid movements of sandpipers, can help leaders reassess strategies to foster healthy and responsive systems. We also tackle the often-illusory world of "change theater" in organizations, where superficial transformations hide deeper issues. Using real-life examples, we illuminate the critical role of sensing and recognizing underlying signals to promote genuine change rather than mere performance. By identifying incongruencies and trust issues, change agents can safely navigate organizational dynamics, leading to meaningful transformation. Our discussion underscores the importance of understanding deep-seated organizational patterns to foster authentic progress. Finally, we delve into the intricacies of leadership communication, offering practical techniques for conducting difficult conversations with leaders. From changing the discussion venue to crafting engagement agreements that set clear expectations, we explore ways to foster open and honest interactions. The episode concludes by highlighting the potential of blending diverse generational thinking styles to create vibrant, adaptable workplaces. Embracing agile approaches and non-linear thinkers, we encourage organizations to cultivate cultures that value curiosity and adaptability, ensuring a dynamic and inclusive environment for all.

    AI's Role in the Future of Change Management

    Have ideas for the show? Liked a topic? Let us know! Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/8FuaOqmCkMg Imagine a world where AI transforms how we approach organizational change management. Join us as we chat with Tapio Kumalainen, leader of HowSpace's North American operations, about the intriguing journey of HowSpace. From its roots as a human-centric consulting firm in Finland to an AI-powered change management platform, HowSpace has been integrating AI tools since 2015. Tapio delves into how AI can enhance decision-making by processing vast data sets, potentially rendering traditional methods like change readiness surveys obsolete. We also explore the ethical considerations, emphasizing transparency and addressing the challenges of bias. One of the core aspects we discuss is the critical role of feedback and transparency during organizational change. Tapio shares valuable insights on the flexibility and significance of anonymity in feedback systems, influenced by cultural contexts and the nature of the questions asked. Tracking sentiment over time emerges as a powerful tool to reveal patterns and guide organizations through changes more effectively. We also tackle potential apprehensions leaders might have about unfiltered feedback and the advantages that transparency brings, along with how different cultural norms impact feedback within multinational corporations. Looking ahead, Tapio and I discuss the future of AI in change management and the transformative possibilities it holds. From efficiency gains to streamlining activities and enhancing agility, AI promises to revolutionize the field. We highlight the rapid pace of AI development and the exciting innovation on the horizon, despite varied human acceptance rates. Practical applications such as custom GPTs and tools for managing change experiments are examined, showcasing how non-technical users can harness AI platforms. Finally, we touch on productivity and sustainability concerns, offering practical advice for AI skeptics and addressing environmental impacts related to AI power consumption. Tune in to grasp the full spectrum of AI's potential in reshaping change management!
