Why go to the edge?
“ Leading from the edge brings us
into contact with a far wider range
of relationships, and in turn, this
increases our potential for diversity
in terms of thought, experience
and background. Diversity leads to
more disruptive thinking, faster
change and better outcomes

The Network Secrets of Great Change Agents
Julie Battilana &Tiziana Casciaro
As a change agent, my centrality in
the informal network is more
important than my position in the
formal hierarchy
15. @HelenBevan #GMGradXC
People who are highly connected
have twice as much power to
influence change as people with
hierarchical power

“In a world of mounting performance pressure,
[organisations and change processes] need to
evolve…the most successful will be those that
evolve into movements.
Success will be determined by their ability to
mobilise, inspire and support an
ever-expanding array of participants extending
far beyond their own four walls”

The power of the platform
“Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and their lesser cousins have
proved the power of the platform. They have shown that if
your average 21st century citizen is given the tools to
connect and the freedom to create, they will do so with
enthusiasm, and often with an originality that blindsides
the so-called creative industries. …..
Good leadership is no longer about ‘taking charge’ or
imposing a strategic vision but about creating the
platforms that allow others to flourish and create”
Ashoka

• systematic “change
management”
• too often, leaders
prescribe outcome
and method of change
in a top-down way
• change is experienced
by people at the front
line as “have to”
(imposed) rather than
“want to” (embraced)
Change
Programmes
• everyone (including
service users and families)
can help tackle the most
challenging issues
• value diversity of thought
• connect people, ideas and
learning
• Role of formal leaders is to
create the conditions and
get out of the way
Change
Platforms
“Tear down the walls”

is the new normal!
“Tomorrow’s management
systems will need to value
diversity, dissent and divergence
as highly as conformance,
consensus and cohesion.”

What is a rebel?
•The principal champion of a change initiative, cause
or action
•Rebels don’t wait for permission to lead, innovate,
strategise
•They are responsible; they do what is right
•They name things that others don’t
see yet
•They point to new horizons
•Without rebels, the storyline never
changes

We need to create more boatrockers!
• Rock the boat but manage to
stay in it
• Walk the fine line between
difference and fit, inside and
outside
• Conform AND rebel
• Capable of working with
others to create success NOT
a destructive troublemaker

Reflection
• What are your insights around “rebels” and
“troublemakers”?
• What moves people from being “rebel” to
“troublemaker”?
• How do we protect against this?

Two kinds of people at work
• Feel connected to a higher
purpose
• Controlled & coordinated
through shared goals &
values
• Collaborate
• Embrace change
• Work to who they are
The contributors The compliant
• Feel disconnected from
purpose
• Controlled & coordinated
through performance
management & standardised
procedures
• Hold back
• Resist change
• Work to a role specification

Notes de l'éditeur
Link below http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23790147 http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/martin-luther-king-i-have-a-dream-pt-1-2/1293.html
With the brooding statue of Abraham Lincoln peering down at him, King began by telling protesters that their presence in the symbolic shadow of the "great emancipator" offered proof of the marvellous new militancy sweeping the country. For too long, he complained, black Americans had been exiles in their own land, "crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination".
The whirlwinds of revolt would continue to shake the very foundations of the country: "And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as normal," King said. It would be fatal for the nation "to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro".
“He's good - he's damned good”
Kennedy on King
Wearied by the suffocating heat, the crowd's initial response was muted. The speech was not going well. "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin," shouted Mahalia Jackson, referring to a rhetorical riff that King had used several times before, but which had not made it into his prepared speech because aides insisted he needed fresh material. But King decided to cast aside his prepared notes, and launched extemporaneously into the refrain for which he will forever be remembered.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed," he shouted, his out-stretched right arm reaching towards the sky. Soon he was hitting his rhythm, invigorated by the chants and cries of the crowd. "Dream on!" they shouted. "Dream on!"
With his voice thundering down the Mall, King imagined a future in which his children could "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character". Then he reached his impassioned finale.
King asked the crowd to yell so it was heard the world over
Watching at the White House, the president was riveted. Like so many Americans, it was the first time he had heard the 34-year-old preacher deliver a speech in its entirety - the first time he had taken its measure, listened to its cadence. "He's good," Kennedy told one of his advisors. "He's damned good." The aide was struck, however, that the president seemed impressed more by the quality of King's performance rather than the power of his message.
Cathedral and Bazaar is an essay, then book, by Eric S. Raymond on software engineering methods
Illustrates the struggle between top-down and bottom-up design
The Cathedral model: restricted access to code, code only available with each software release – controlled / limited / restricted / closed
The Bazaar model, in which the code is developed over the Internet in view of the public
Raymond's proposition that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" - the more openly and widely available the source code is for public testing, scrutiny, and experimentation, the more rapidly all forms of bugs will be discovered.
Raymond claims that an inordinate amount of time and energy must be spent hunting for bugs in the Cathedral model, since the working version of the code is available only to a few developers.
Why platforms are the new power
Old power won’t deliver what we need to
