Most change efforts are built upon the shaky foundation of five
flawed assumptions;
1. that change can be managed
2. that human beings are objective
3. that there are âXâ steps to change
4. that we have a neutral starting point for change
5. and that change, itself, is the goal

When we spread change through strong ties:
⢠we interact with âpeople like usâ, with the same
life experiences, beliefs and values
⢠Change is âpeer to peerâ; Physician to Physician,
nurse to nurse, gynaecologist to gynaecologist
⢠Influence is spread through people who are
strongly connected to each other, like and trust
each other

When we spread change through strong ties:
⢠we interact with âpeople like usâ, with the same
life experiences, beliefs and values
⢠Change is âpeer to peerâ; GP to GP, nurse to
nurse, gynaecologist to gynaecologist
⢠Influence is spread through people who are
strongly connected to each other, like and trust
each other
IT WORKS BECAUSE: people are far
more likely to be influenced to
adopt new behaviours or ways of
working from those with whom they
are most strongly tied
32. #NHSChangeDay #SHCRchat
Strong and weak ties
When we seek to spread change
through strong ties:
⢠we interact with âpeople like
usâ, with the same life
experiences, beliefs and
values
⢠Change is âpeer to peerâ; GP
to GP, nurse to nurse,
gynaecologist to
gynaecologist
⢠Influence is spread through
people who are strongly
connected to each other, like
and trust each other
When we seek to spread change
through weak ties:
⢠we build bridges between groups
and individuals who were previously
different and separate
⢠we create relationships based not
on pre-existing similarities but on
common purpose and
commitments that people make to
each other to take action
⢠our aim is to mobilise all the
resources in our organisation,
system or community that can help
achieve our goals
33. #NHSChangeDay #SHCRchat@HelenBevan @BoelGare @JackieLynton #Quality 2014 #M5
Why we need to build weak ties
AS WELL AS strong ties
⢠Weak ties are more likely to lead to change at scale because
they enable us to access more people with fewer barriers
⢠In situations of uncertainty, we have a tendency to revert to our
strong tie relationships
⢠yet the evidence tells us that weak ties are much more
important than strong ties when it comes to searching out
resources in times of scarcity
⢠The most breakthrough innovations will come when we tap into
our weak ties
History suggests that weak ties will probably give us the best
chance to deliver large scale improvements in a challenging
timescale

States a minimum performance

Framing
⌠is the process by which leaders construct,
articulate and put across their message in a powerful
and compelling way in order to win people to their
cause and call them to action.
Snow D A and Benford R D (1992)
46. @HelenBevan
Three components of framing
⢠Diagnostic â what is the problem that we are
addressing? What is the extent of the problem?
What is the specific source or sources?
⢠Prognostic â what could the future look like? What is
our âplan of attackâ and our strategy for carrying out
the plan?
⢠Motivational â why is this urgent? What is our call
for action that connects with the motivational and
emotional drivers of the audience?

Call to Action
⢠A call to action assumes that we can end an intolerable
condition by creating a burning platform from which to
organise our resources and seek commitment
⢠A call to action finds and builds new sources of power
and so enables change through
⢠collaboration and mobilisation
⢠developing leadership
⢠A call to action unites us around a collective vision and
focuses our energy towards a specific and real change and
a measureable goal

54. @HelenBevan
We need to be boatrockers!
⢠Walk the fine line between
difference and fit, inside and
outside, rock the boat but
manage to stay in it
⢠Able to challenge the status
quo when we see that there
could be a better way
⢠Conform AND rebel
⢠Capable of working with others

destructive troublemaker Source: Debra Meyerson
56. @HelenBevan
What are the risks for a boat rocker?
1. Our experiences of âbeing differentâ can be
fundamentally disempowering. This can lead us
to conform because we see no other choice
ď§ we surrender a part of ourselves, and silence
our commitment, in order to survive
2. leave the organisation
ď§ we cannot find a way to be true to our values
and commitments and still survive
3. stridently challenge the status quo in a manner
which is increasingly radical and self-defeating
ď§ this just confirms what we already know â that
we donât belong Source: adapted from Debra E Meyerson
57. @HelenBevan #SHCR #QF15
We need rebels!
â˘They are the principal champion of a
change initiative, cause or action
â˘Rebels donât wait for permission to lead,
innovate, strategise
â˘They are responsible; they do what is
right

Effective framing:
what do we need to do?
1. Tell a story
2. Make it personal
3. Be authentic
4. Create a sense of âusâ (and be clear who the âusâ
is)
5. Build in a call for urgent action

2. Let down by my profession

system that didnât protect
vulnerable people

Connecting to Whatâs important to me?
Alone/Me
Together/We
Building connections and relationships for change
79. #NHSChangeDay #SHCRchat
[Shared] purpose goes way deeper than
vision and mission; it goes right into your gut
and taps some part of your primal self.
I believe that if you can bring people with
similar primal-purposes together and get
them all marching in the same direction,
amazing things can be achieved.
