Resistance: a diagnostic approach

• Change is something that happens “out there” in the organisation or system

• Resistance is a force to overcome• Resistance prevents change• Change agents must diagnose,

manage and/or overcome resistance • Resisters otherwise known as

“laggards”, “blockers”, “in denial”

Much of the resistance literature is “diagnostic”

Diagnostic: 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”

Resistance: a dialogic approach

• People make their own reality• Change results from transformational

conversations– involving more and different people in change

discussions– altering how and which people engage with

each other– by stimulating different perspectives to shape

how people think about things• Resistance is an inevitable consequence of a

complex change process (based on diversity)• Resistance should be embraced and worked

Dialogic: the role of the change agent

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. Creat e 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
