Change management is going Inclusive! By taking the guesswork out of organsational change we are able to close the gap on change failure by increasing engagement and adoption. How? With Scared So What PRO we bring the individual into our change focus. See the info sheets below, share, and let’s discuss!

Here’s interesting survey data points from the APM series focusing on human behaviour and its impact on projects, with particular emphasis on Strategic Misrepresentation. Sourced from event 1 and event 4. Event 1 asked two questions. The first asks whether organisations use historical estimate performance data to inform their business cases estimates, to mitigate optimism bias. The second asks whether they recognise strategic misrepresentation, i.e., addressing social pressures such as poor bonus incentives that influence decision-making. For both questions, we asked if their organisation addresses these issues (blue) and whether individuals felt they knew how to handle them personally (green). Event 4 asked about the frequency and impact of strategic misrepresentation when it occures. If research from Oxford shows that only 8% of projects are delivered on time and on budget, and only 0.5% deliver benefits within those constraints, this is clearly a significant issue. My view: Most organisations aren’t addressing the inherent optimism bias in estimates. They also fail to recognise that people make decisions to maintain power or advance their own interests. Moreover, many project professionals don’t know how to tackle these challenges. Educational institutions like the Association for Project Management, the Project Management Institute, and others need to step up. I am working with a group of volunteers under the APM banner to drive this forward.

Updating our values - why now? 🤔 At DataKind UK, we have been developing our strategy and ways of working to help us focus on our mission of bringing responsible data use to the third sector. 🧡 As a charity and community, we want our mission, strategy, and values to be fully aligned and working for everyone involved with us. Our values underpin all areas of our work and inform all our decisions. 📌 As the organisation moves into its ‘teenage’ years, we reflect on our learnings from the past decade to ensure that our values align with our mission, and are representative of how we work. 🎉 Find out what happened > https://lnkd.in/dg-BC5wV  #values #theoryofchange #strategy #community #mission #vision
