Forskare på Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute har upptäckt att när minst 10 procent av befolkningen har en orubblig åsikt och kommunicerar denna med övriga kommer majoriteten i samhället att anta denna åsikt. Slutsatserna publicerades i nätversionen av tidskriften Physical Review E den 22 juli 2011; Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities
”När antalet engagerade opinionsbildare är under 10 procent sker inga framsteg i spridningen av deras idéer i systemet. Det skulle bokstavligen ta lika lång tid jämförbart med universums ålder för att denna storlek på grupp skulle uppnå en majoritet” säger Boleslaw Szymanski, professor på Rensselaer. ”I det ögonblick då antalet når över 10 procent, så sprider sig idéen som en löpeld.”
Som exempel kan nämnas händelserna i Tunisien och Egypten …

Så många bär på samma irriterande känsla. Det är något som inte fungerar i vår ledningsgrupp. Vad gör vi?
Vanliga omdömen om ledningsgruppsmöten:
”- Mycket snack och liten verkstad”
”- Bara envägskommunikation och information”
”- Vart tog strategiarbetet vägen?”
”- Vi hinner aldrig med väsentligheter”
”- Jag har inte tid med det här! Jag måste faktiskt JOBBA!”
”- Allt är så förutsägbart. Jag vet redan innan vad som kommer att sägas.”
Så vad gör man för att lyfta blicken och få in ny energi?
Jo, vi avsätter ett par dagar på internat med ledningsgruppen i en trevlig miljö. ”Huskonsulten” kallas in.Det blir gula klisterlappar med visioner och ambitioner dag 1, och sen blir det vanligt ledningsgruppsmöte den andra dagen.
Därefter återgår allt till det vanliga och de gula lapparna sitter …

Förändringsledning är inte något särskilt eller utöver det ordinarie arbetet. Att hantera och leda förändring har blivit en del av chefsuppdraget och något som ständigt pågår. Förändring har blivit konstant.
I en nyligen genomförd undersökning efterlyses förändringsledaren som den profil man söker. Av 70 tillfrågade personal- och HR-chefer i svenska börsföretag svarar nästan hälften eller 43 procent att de kommer att söka efter en förändringsledare nästa gång de ska anställa en chef.
Kanske är det dags att byta namn. Till Plan A.

Actually it was a golden opportunity. The small company had received financing from the European Union’s Structural Funds and could now grow. In just a few months, staff numbers had quadrupled. There were also great ambitions and hopes of the members and donors. The Structural Funds demanded delivery of the projects. How could this work out?
- There are huge demands on our company. We could easily be fifty, or a hundred people in the staff to meet the demands. Today ten people work here, says the CEO.
The company had previously hired process managers for evaluations, and therefore it was natural to make use of process management to meet the challenges. They made contact with PlanB for a one or …

The high-tech, well-known industrial company group already had a leadership program for so-called “high potentials” (promising managers), and it had run several times. But the company grew rapidly through acquisitions, and the management felt that it needed something else. After an inquiry, PlanB was chosen as a new supplier of training for business-critical people in the company.
PlanB and the company developed the new program together. It had to be perfectly suited to the needs that existed and the reality the participants worked in. It should not be a traditional leadership program with old fashioned pedagogics – no, the focus would be entirely to drive business.
The participants use the company as its primary “literature”. The content is closely connected to …

New employees had started in the municipal administration, and something was wrong. The good mood had vanished. When some people were in the same meeting, it became unbearable. The head was experienced, but this was more than he could manage. PlanB was contacted.
- First we attacked the problem narrowly: what happens when we have meetings? But we soon realized that we should have a broader approach. We could see that there was something we couldn’t solve by changing only the meetings; it was all about our culture in the workplace.
PlanB worked both with coaching for each employee and group exercises.
- I see it as both a process for the individual and the entire workplace. We have worked with the individual, …

The large company was the market leader, but in decline. There were new competitors in the market. The company had to change, but how? Time was a factor – the change had to happen fast.
PlanB was hired to bring about the change. It was important that the team should not consist solely of consultants, since the company needed to achieve profound and permanent change. The employees had to feel involved and the change had to be anchored and come from within the organization.
Employees were appointed to lead the work and were also points of contact. PlanB was a robust, but active support in the process. The team also decided to appoint change agents within the line-organization. Those chosen were …

The municipality’s urban planning office would review its strategic structure plan. The previous plans had worked well, but needed to be developed due to new challenges. The municipality was growing, and the plan hade to have a longer time scale and width than before. It had to be inspiring.
The idea was to start with the vision and then break it down into milestones. All sectors of the organization would be involved, so that the plan would be consensual. A project manager was appointed. She visited the different departments of the municipality to investigate what part of their visions that could land in the physical construction, such as the expansion of schools.
PlanB was contacted. A consultant helped to create a project …

PlanB’s methodology is based on systems theory, Schein’s model of organizational culture, Senge’s theories of the learning organization, and methods for action-based learning.
We have developed an original model, the Strategic Loop, which through repeated processes supports the organization in its change process.
PlanB uses a variety of methods and tools, including the Learning loop, Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, Deep Democracy, Cafe Dialogue, Reflective Teams, Covey’s Seven habits, Strategic Visioning, Change Implementation Assessment, PROSCI’s fundamentals of change management, Kotters 8 steps for leading change, Project Health Check, and 360-degree personal feedback.
We coach both individually and through reflective team and group coaching.
Examples of tests we perform are the MBTI, DISC and Belbin Teamroles.
