#S4CA @sch4change
When I meet with resistance at work, I…
… initiate a
conversation in the
hope of understanding
the other point(s) of
view
… know I’m right – I
just have to persuade
the resisters!
… bring together
people with different
ideas and encourage
the diversity of ideas

‘En este muno traidor
No hay verdad ni mentira,
Que todo esta en el color
Del cristal con que se mira.’

There is nothing false or true:
All depends upon the hue
Of the glass through which one gazes’.

This is New Power

#S4CA @sch4change
Let’s think about “resistance” in
old/new power terms

#S4CA @sch4change
Let’s think about “resistance” in
old/new power terms
• Change can be planned and
managed through a rigorous
process
• Resistance is a force to
overcome
• Resistance prevents change
• Change agents must
diagnose, manage and/or
overcome resistance
• Resisters can otherwise be
known as “laggards”,
“blockers”, “in denial”

Old power mindset:
the role of the change agent
“The role of the change agent is to
recognise the causes of resistance and
address each one. If this is not done,
then the change will be much harder to
implement successfully and may not
succeed at all”

• Change results from
connections and interactions
stimulating different
viewpoints, shaping how
people think about things
• Resistance is an inevitable
consequence of a complex
change process
• Resistance should be
embraced and rolled with

1. Create the conditions for transformational
conversations by asking questions that are focussed on
future possibilities, by inviting diversity into the system
and by being welcoming
2. Create opportunities for everyone to express their
views, spot opportunities and build on each other’s
ideas
3. Create ways for people to reflect together to find
meaning, understanding and shared purpose in the
change

Our effectiveness as change agents is not a
matter of intention; it’s a matter of impact

#S4CA @sch4change
• Helen’s intent was to give people quick
solutions, help them do their work faster
and get on to the next problem at hand
• However, her impact was that people did
not know how to solve their own
problems so that Helen’s style was
impeding their development

Patient leaders as “lone wolves”
“What I am ranting about is the way in which patients are
being streamed into advisory sub committees, the way we are
being used as tokens and to help tick off the right box…..
Where is the attitude that patients are part of the team in
healthcare, that we are partners? Why are we always asked
to participate inside a pre-determined frame? When will we
see co-design of new policies, and ultimately co-production?”

Build power by mobilising people – being able to call
on large numbers of people to contribute, engage in
change and take action

“Stages of change”
Transtheoretical model of behaviour change
Prochaska, DiClemente & Norcross (1992)

#S4CA @sch4change
• smoking cessation
• exercise adoption
• alcohol and drug use
• weight control
• fruit and vegetable intake
• domestic violence
• HIV prevention
• use of sunscreens to prevent skin cancer
• medication compliance
• mammography screening
The model is mostly used around
health-related behaviours

organisational and
service change too!

Transtheoretical model of behaviour change

#S4CA @sch4change
• Which stage do most change activities in
health and care focus on?
• Which stage are most people actually at?
Some questions

#S4CA @sch4change
The reality of our change situation
• Our tools are often not effective at the stage of change
that most people we work with are at
• It’s hard to engage people in change
• It’s hard to get people to make the changes we want
them to make
• People get irritated, defensive, irrational
• We feel powerless in our ability to lead or facilitate the
change
90% of the tools available for health and
care change agents are designed for the
“action” stage

#S4CA @sch4change
• Designed for Stage
4 – ACTION!
• Mandated it
through targets
• Despite compelling
case for change –
people often
resisted it
• People did the task
and missed the
point
Example – WHO Surgical Safety Checklist

Barriers and Facilitators
Toward Implementation of the
WHO Surgical Safety Checklist

Lessons From the “Surgical
Checklist Implementation
Project” Ann Surg

#S4CA @sch4change
“In hospitals without adequate resources and efficient systems, simply
requiring the checklist to be used might not only fail to improve
patient safety but might also introduce new risks for staff and
patients. This is the exact opposite of what the checklist was designed
to achieve”.

#S4CA @sch4change
• Lower our ambitions for improvement
• Focus our energies on those who are
already in the “action” stage
• Put negative labels on those who are
not yet at the action stage such as
“blocker” or “resister” or “laggard”
• Blame “the management” for not
enforcing change
So what do we TEND to do when people
resist?

#S4CA @sch4change
The single biggest problem
in communication is the
illusion that it has taken
place
George Bernard Shaw
‘‘

#S4CA @sch4change
• Listen and understand
• appreciate the starting point
• elaborate interests
• Roll with resistance
• Don’t argue against it
• Be curious and accepting
• Encourage elaboration of resistance
• What makes it so hard?
• What would help?
• Build meaning and conviction in the change
So what SHOULD we do?
See Motivational interviewing as a change management strategy

#S4CA @sch4change
• The focus should be on
creating awareness for me of
the need to change
• Remember the goal is not to
make me (as a
precontemplator) change
immediately, but to help me
move to contemplation
• I am not thinking about
changing my behaviours,
actions or work processes
• The problem or issue is
outside my frame of
awareness or my perceived
need
