While at her mother’s funeral, a girl met a guy. Though it was their first meeting, she thought he was amazing. She believed he was the man of her dreams, and fell in love with him instantly. She failed to ask him for his phone number.
A few days later she killed her sister.
What was her motive for killing her sister?

The Quantum Enigma “Ultimate” reality is not confined to our perception of it • Observation plays a role in our perception of and description
of the existence of quantum particles• “particles” do not possess definite, deterministic qualities until
they are measured, the act of observation helps determine the reality that is perceived…
• Entanglement & Non-locality• Spatially separated systems can instantaneously influence one
another at both the quantum and macroscopic levels
�There is no real “world” apart from us; rather, the world unfolds in and through our choices and actions.
�The concept of “world” is like a mirror; empty in itself, it can only reflect to the giver the values it receives.
Ilia Delio, Making All Things New: Catholicity, Cosmology, Consciousness, 2015
�“We” negotiate reality….

�The “reality” of A & B did not change but how I observed/perceived that reality did…
�ISO asks us to look at our organizational reality from a different perspective; using a different frame of reference…
�A different management model…values and practices…
�How we observe and measure determines the “reality” of our “system” …
�Appling a different set of values and practices changes our perception of our “system reality”“system reality”“system reality”“system reality”and the outcomes it produces…

Definitions• Decision…a conclusion, resolution, settlement, commitment, determination, choice
reached after consideration…
a decision is executed and it takes resources to execute…
• Problem…an obstacle or difficulty in the path ahead that is a by-product of the process of decision making…
• Decisions create problems…
• Problem solving is not decision making; they
are not the same thing!

Ethics vs. Morals vs. Values
� the set of rules, principles, or ways of thinking that guide, or claim authority to guide, the actions of a particular group
� habits of life in regard to right and wrong conduct; tends to be associated with a narrower and more personal concept of values
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what is right!Issac Asimov
MARSHALL UNIVERSITYFORENSIC SCIENCE CENTER
Values
� Every individual, group/organization, has a core set of personal, group, values.
� By definition there is no such thing as a “bad” value. The issue is not “good or bad” values but the ranking of values.

1) Customer Focus: meet/exceed customer requirements
2) Leadership: create unity of purpose and direction
3) Involvement of People: maximize organizational use of abilities
4) Process Approach: management of activities and resources
5) System Approach: management of interrelated processes
6) Continual Improvement: permanent objective
7) Factual Decision Making: measurement and data analysis
8) Mutually Beneficial Relationships: focus on creation of value
Credibility Is the Foundation of Leadership
ValuesValuesValuesValues are directly relevant to credibility.
To do what you say you will do—the behavioral definition of credibility—you must know what you want to do and how you want to behave.
That's what values help you to define.
ISO/IEC Standards help clarify and define values.

� Momentum is something that you can control…
� Momentum is not simply a description, it's an aspiration. You aspire to sustain momentum, and you want to manage for momentum…
� Momentum isn't a mystery, it's a series of finite, specific activities…
� The basic challenges facing managers are the very things that allow them to sustain momentum…

• Radical Innovation …. longer term, sporadic, nonlinear, and stochastic
(unpredictable), high risk
• Incremental Innovation …. is linear, more orderly with fewer organizational
and resource uncertainties
Types of InnovationTypes of InnovationTypes of InnovationTypes of Innovation
Google’s release of Gmail, heralded by many as
the best internet mail service, is an example of
such dedication to incremental innovation. When
Gmail launched it had a limited feature set but
did one thing very well, delivered emails. Unlike
competitors it was clean and easy to use with no
distracting flash ads and numerous interface
improvements. Over time Google released more
features and made the service better, faster, and
easier to use.

Equilibrium
Incremental innovation can be pushed down into the organization where the strategy is clear…
Radical innovation “management” must identify and remove
the restraining forces.
Must mobilize senior leadership:
• Patronage … provide protection, resources, encouragement
• Provocateur … call to arms, voice of project, stimulate activity
• Shaper of Culture … shape organizational culture to make the innovation natural, accepted and valued; permission to bend, adjust, or change the existing “rules”
Imperatives
8/3/2017
9
Top Leadership approach:
� Leadership must relinquish control-task mentality for a monitor/redirect mentality
� Directive vs. facilitative leadership
� Accelerate project transition by gently but firmly encourage the “birdy” to leave the nest; it never thinks it is ready
Imperatives
• Right people:
� must be people that will dive the innovation with a high tolerance for risk, out-of-the box mentality
� cannot wait for them to emerge must recruit them; often they will be at odds with the existing organizational framework
� cross multifunctional core group … need both technical and broad thinking ability
� success is dependent on communication with the organization’s “mainstream”
� importance of influential advisors
Imperatives

• Tinkering vs Overhauling
• Tinkerers prefer doing things the unit has already done before—just doing them a little better, a little more, a little faster, or a little more cost effectively.
• Overhaulers are intent on putting the unit or organization on a new trajectory with a radical, multidimensional, and fundamental change effort.
Types of Innovators
Change: Tinkering Overhauling
Incremental Radical
Low risk High risk
Surface Deep
Tinkering or overhauling is a strategic decision
• …assume that the future can be predicted and,
more importantly, controlled to minimize the risk of change…
• …attempt to identify the issues, problems, and variables to estimate likelyoutcomes and consequences of their decisions…
√ Focus on control
√ Define roles and responsibilities
√ Calculate likely outcomes
√ Centralize decision making
√ Proceed according to a predetermined plan
Planners
8/3/2017
11
• …assume that flexibility minimizes the risk of change…
• …approach change by learning from what others have done, then acting, and then reassessing before the next action…
√ Focus on perpetual adaptability
√ Rely on experience and knowledge
√ Decentralize decision making
√ Proceed by trial and error
Improvisers
Planning may be appropriate in terms of themedium and long run. But in the short run,to make planning work, you're going tohave to improvise.
Change Agenda Matrix

• The more an agency tries to operate through “formal mechanisms” of existing organizationalprocedures, structure and controls the more the agency will drive out its ability to work with newtechnology, concepts and ideas!
• Informal organization designs/processes are needed to support innovation.
• Innovation is a dynamic process that goes beyond existing internal “boundaries;” not static like existingorganizational patterns.
• Need to overcome the communication bias (boundary driven) managers need to recognize these “strong” biases:
virtue and superiority of existing/own ideasdismissive of rival/new technologies as inferior/weaklimited group interaction with outside sourceslittle intentional exposure to new ideashomogeneity of group
Boundary Issues
• Majority Rules:
• Assume truth lies in numbers
• Fear of disapproval and rejection
• Extensive research indicates that when people are faced with a majority of others who agree on a particular attitude or judgment, they are likely to adopt the majority judgment.
• When faced with this situation people will view the issue from the majority perspective even if it is wrong!
• Also, if faced with a majority, people will search for information in a biased manner and will be unable to detect original solutions to problems.
Boundary Issues
8/3/2017
13
Given the boundary issues:
• Strong, well-identified executive sponsorship is required if the technology transfer is to be successful!
• The more radical the technology the stronger it must be!
Boundary Issues
• first idea …is that we tend to see resistance as part of the problem ofchange, and we focus on overcoming it rather than engaging it. Thistendency is the product of three compelling forces: cognitive biases, socialdynamics, and managerial missteps.
• second idea …is that resistance is a form of feedback and, as such, itprovides potentially valuable information that may not be available anyother way. By being willing to consider resistance as useful feedback,managers can reshape specific aspects of a change, thereby increasing thelikelihood of success.
Resistance - Two Ideas
8/3/2017
14
• Supporters are those individuals who continue to agree with youragenda and how it is being executed.
• Dissenters are those individuals who support your initiative, but mayquestion what you're doing and how you're going about doing it;they want to make some adjustments as you're moving along.
Managing Your Agenda
Managerially-competent leaders try to distinguish real dissent versus white noise.
Opponents, unlike dissenters, are likely to express stronger opposition aboutwhat you're doing and how you're getting there. While dissenters may makeoff-hand remarks and suggestions, opponents are more likely to challenge youdirectly and publicly in an adamant and continuous fashion. Their language ismore confrontational and reflects a stronger sense of urgency.
Managing Your Agenda
Resistors are those individuals who not only want to
challenge you, but actively sabotage where you're
going and how you're getting there. Resistors will
verge on obstruction, not only confronting you, but
actively blocking you.

Select Strategic Goal: Creation of Quality Manual
Structure
� Simple Execution or encourage dialogue? (individual / team?) � Who does what? (team/individual)? � What resources are going to be allocated? � How much time do I want to spend on an issue? � Potential blockages?
Resources … enough to facilitate…how will you periodically revisit the resource issue?
Performance
� How do I want to evaluate progress? Criteria… � How will I ensure the criteria are understood and agreed to by the work group? � Do I measure output/process/both? � How do I get and give feedback?
� Will I function primarily as a supervisor or as a mentor? � What factors are likely to influence my role?
Production vs innovation issues?
Culture
What measures will you need to take to achieve a team culture that is appropriately balanced between learning/self-reflection and the desire to act?
� How do I develop group cohesiveness, if team? Create and strengthen the connective bonds… � How do I foster a sense of commitment? � How do I generate involvement? � How do I get to stop asking, why should I do it; and get them focused on what needs to be
done? � Rewards and Recognitions…how…tactical milestones?
Political What specific strategies will I employ to address potential internal opposition to the initiative within my workgroup? How will I balance hard tactics of coercion with soft tactics of persuasion in dealing with dissenters, opponents, and resistors? What are the criteria by which I would dismiss a resistor from the work group?
� How do I establish credibility? � Who will likely be supporting, opposing the initiative? � How do I communicate the vision?
