I amar prestar aen, Han mathon ne nen, Han mathon ne chae,

A han noston ned gwilith

The world is changed,I feel it in the water, I feel it in the Earth,I smell it in the air

Galadriel’s prologue: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring


“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”

What is a platform? Some simple definitions…

“A raised level surface on which people or things can stand.”

“A raised floor or stage used by public speakers or performers so that they can be seen by their audience.”

“A raised structure standing in the sea from which oil or gas wells can be drilled or regulated.”

“A raised structure or orbiting satellite from which rockets or missiles may be launched.”

“The declared policy of a political party or group”

…flattening hierarchies

…new ideas and

discoveries

…diversity of thought

…with shared purpose

Definitions from Oxford Dictionary @HelenBevan @TheEdgenhs #EdgeTalksSource of content: Jodi Brown


What do these four have in common? They have:• excelled via their superior use of technology• embraced partnerships and external innovation• built interactive communities• embraced an entirely new way of doing business: the

platform.

Adapted from: http://www.philsimon.com/books/the-age-of-the-platform/

http://www.philsimon.com/books/the-age-of-the-platform/




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

Is your change process a cathedral or a bazaar?

http://www.unterstein.net/su/docs/CathBaz.pdf




We have a lot of cathedrals


• 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”

Platforms to change platforms

“Change comes naturally when individuals have a platform that allows them to

identify shared interests and to brainstorm solutions.”

Gary Hamel & Michele Zanini (2014)http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/build_a_change_platform_not_a_change_program

http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/build_a_change_platform_not_a_change_program



What is a change platform?“What’s needed is a real-time, socially constructed approach to change, so that the leader’s job isn’t to

design a change program but to build a change platform — one that allows anyone to initiate

change, recruit confederates, suggest solutions, and launch experiments.”

Gary Hamelhttp://

www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/build_a_change_platform_not_a_change_program






“In a connected world, power no longer emanates from the top of the heap, but the centre of the

network.”Greg Satell, 2015

Evolving kinds of change platforms:

1. Connecting platforms

2. Mobilisation platforms

3. Learning platforms

4. Knowledge platforms

5. Crowdsourcing platformsThey overlap!


Platform principles have long been part of change practice

• Building on traditions in the field of organisation development of communities of interest and communities of practice

• Technology enables us to connect more widely and at greater speed

The Academy of Fabulous NHS Stuff


A platform for Trust-wide transformationLeeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust & Clever TogetherWayFinder – a Crowdsourcing methodology and platform • Step 1: 4,500 staff and stakeholders shared 45,000 contributions to

• co-create The Leeds Way – a redefinition of their vision and their values

• co-design a five year strategy – a shared agreement of what needs to happen to achieve their vision

• co-define a new behavioural framework – a new agreement of the acceptable ways in which staff will live their values embedded into recruitment, induction, training and appraisals

• Step 2: WayFinder local – every department trained to use its own crowdsourcing platform • 19 clinical service units trained • A new way of working – online workshops – to ensure staff always

have a say in what’s happening in the Trust, bringing people together to co-create solutions.

Examples of results:• Staff satisfaction is up / buy-in to vision and values at an all time

high / complaints down 17% / 18weeks RTT down by 66% / CQC acknowledgement of staff engagement and impact on quality and safety


Carousal: shows all active challenges open for staff participation

An example of i-matter in action:“Idea to implementation in 22 hrs”


• Board sponsorship and buy-in• Clearly linked to Trust vision, values and strategy• A culture that promotes engagement and values staff• A clear systemic process for innovation and innovators• A meaningful innovation strategy• “No idea is bad” rule• Demonstrate quick measurable wins• Take the good with the bad (don’t succumb to risk-aversion)• Keep it live and fresh• Build in rewards: say “thank you” and recognise contributions• Informal innovation champions > organisational radicals

Discussion

• What are the characteristics of effective change platforms?


Effective change platforms: Encourage individuals to tackle significant organisational challenges foster honest and forthright discussion of root causes and, in the

process, develop a shared view of the thorniest barriers elicit dozens (if not hundreds) of potential solutions rather than

seeking to coalesce prematurely around a single approach; the goal is first to diverge, then to converge

focus on generating a portfolio of experiments that can be conducted locally to help prove or disprove the components of a more general solution, as opposed to developing a single grand design

encourage individuals to take personal responsibility for initiating the change they want to see and give them the resources and tools necessary to spur their thinking and imaginationsGary Hamel & Michele Zanini (2014)

Is your change process a cathedral or a bazaar?





How can we create a thriving bazaar?

Keep it open to spark innovation and growth

Start small, let it evolveDesign for participation

Learn from your hackers (or those

that break the rules)

Lower the barriersto experimentation(promote constant experiments)

Lead by example

How to create a change platform• Be clear about your intention or goal:• Solve a problem?• Learn from others?• Create solutions?• Mobilise for change?• Spread innovation?

• Articulate your mission• Set out your objectives and the stages in your

process


How to create a change platform• Identify the people you want in your community• Identify how to reach them• Find a platform • Existing or new • Free or paid for

• Measure the outcomes (all the way through)

• Engage your community• Set their expectations• Keep the connections flowing• Convert ideas to actions• Always, always follow up


”If people give to a cause, they expect a relationship, not a transaction”

Nilofer Merchant

Once you start down this path, you have to follow up and continue


Platforms are only as good as the people leading them
