Failure to Anticipate: Ms. Cleo Award
Human Resource Management Department
Miss Cleo" has seen the future ... and it does not include her. The operators of her psychic hot line have agreed to cancel $500 million in customer bills, return all uncashed checks to customers and pay a $5 million fine.
Although Miss Cleo will be fading from the airwaves and, perhaps, from public view, the popular soothsayer shouldn't go hungry anytime soon. In three years, it's estimated her service billed $1 billion through 900 numbers and credit cards and collected about half of it.
Many customers were satisfied with the service.

Distribution, sales channels or ecosystem
Technology infrastructure, established protocols, operating systems, IOT
Customers through loyalty programs or switching costs
Focused marketing to align their brand with social cause
Establish a brand as a preferred employer
Lobby government to change regulations
Human Resource Management Department
Attempt to control supply (raw materials, suppliers). The goal is to ensure future supply of critical commodities at a favorable price and limit competitors access to this supply or cost efficiency. For example companies can lock in suppliers with long-term, exclusive contracts. They can form alliances or integrate their supply chain with their suppliers in an exclusive arrangement. Obtaining exclusive rights to music, films, games is a major ongoing battle for Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Spotify, Apple Music and others. There will be winners and losers here
Attempt to control distribution, sales channels or other infrastructure. Examples, restricted sales channels (Sony), shelf space in supermarkets, Amazon product placement for products on Amazon.com
Attempt to control access to social media or focused marketing to align their brand with social cause (effective for start-up or niche company attacking an established company)
Attempt to control technology infrastructure (net neutrality, AWS) or establish protocols, operating systems ( apple vs android, Google vs Firefox, etc.)
Customers through loyalty programs or switching costs
Lobby government to change regulations (e.g., Kingsford charcoal, importing Canadian drugs)

Your new boss has asked you to spend a couple of weeks to assess the company and make recommendations for improvement.
Consider
How will you spend your time?
What will you look at or assess?
What data will you collect?
What will you look for?
What is the outcome of your diagnosis?
List the steps you would take (sequence is important)
Explain the structure, model or process that guided your actions
Human Resource Management Department
At some point in your career, you will be asked to conduct a review of an organizational program (e.g., leadership development, incentive plan or restructuring effort), an organizational process (e.g., performance management), a change initiative, or the operations of a department or entire organizational unit.
In each of these examples you are being asked to 1. analyze the existing situation, 2 determine how effective it is and 3. recommend actions that will improve the situation with an explanation of the pros and cons (speed, cost, complexity) of each approach.
Regardless of what you are asked to assess (person, team, work process, organizational unit or company outcome) the process is the same. The specific diagnostic model, tool and process used will vary depending on the nature or the specific situation, but the overall diagnostic process is always the same.
58
Diagnostic Questions
What do you look at?
What do you look for?
How do you organize the data?
How do you sort, categorize or arrange the information that you collected?
What structure allows you to make sense of the data & recommend changes?
What is the outcome?
How do you evaluate your effort?
59
Human Resource Management Department
Fundamental in all diagnoses is a structure that guides you in the data to collect, how you will organize it to determine key gaps or deficiencies that reduce effective or efficient functioning.
The outcome of a diagnosis should provide a framework to inform decisions on how to improve the efficiency and the functioning. More rigorous frameworks may provide additional guidance on which actions would be most efficient or effective which is useful in prioritizing recommendations and advising the decision makers on an appropriate course of action.

What is Diagnosis?
The assessment of the functioning, effectiveness or efficiency of a person, process or organization
Diagnosis is both a process and an outcome
“An investigation or analysis of the cause or nature of a condition, situation, or problem”
“A statement or conclusion from such an analysis”
65
Human Resource Management Department
“An investigation or analysis of the cause or nature of a condition, situation, or problem
A statement or conclusion from such an analysis” (Merriam-Webster)
An assessment of the functioning, effectiveness or efficiency of a person, process or organization
The identification of the gaps limiting the successful completion of a decision, task or process
Diagnosis necessarily precedes all formal attempts to improve an existing situation or fix a problem.
65
Diagnosis (Continued)
A diagnosis can be
reactive or anticipative
tactical or strategic
Identifies the gaps limiting success of an individual, team, process or organization
Can produce a scorecard (evaluate) & a dashboard (monitor)
Must necessarily precede all formal attempts to improve an existing situation or fix a problem
66

“
66
Diagnostic Process
Begins with a specific perspective and a clear purpose (who I am, what I want to know & why I want to do this)
Might assess an outcome or a process
Defines a starting point, a process and an expected outcome (plan)
Guides what you look at, what you look for & how to look
Allows for a determination of success and what elements limits that success

Data collection begins the intervention & impacts future relations with all involved
Note: All data collection is an intervention
Human Resource Management Department
Collecting data for a diagnosis in advance of any organization intervention is different that data collection for research purposes. Research requires a rigorous process to collect data scientifically standards of reliability and validity. While organizational research rarely provides the opportunity to collect data at that level, all data collection should produce data that is accurate and complete as possible given the time and costs involved. Organization data collection has additional requirements beyond psychometric concerns that need to addressed.
First, our data collection process must actively seek out from all relevant subgroups in an organization. This goes beyond typical demographic categories (gender, race) but include any other subgroup (i.e., function, level, business unit) that might be affected by the change initiative. For a change initiative to be successful those individual impacted must understand the reason for the change, feel they had a voice in determining the problem and hopefully some influence on the proposed solution or how the intervention will be implemented. How the diagnosis is performed as a major impact on the level of resistance to the changes that are recommended by the diagnosis. Clearly if some organizational subunit does not have input in the diagnosis, they will not feel any ownership in the “solution.”
I have had to conduct unnecessary, additional interviews or focus groups so that certain individuals could have their say in the proceedings. It is good practice because if they do not accept the result of the diagnosis; they will not participate in any subsequent change effort.

Waste, or muda in Japanese, is defined as the performance of unnecessary work as a result of errors, poor organization, or communication.
Quality professionals often debate whether or not there are seven or eight wastes of lean. The eighth waste of lean is unique from the original seven because its elimination can directly benefit the employees, as well as the employer.
The eight lean manufacturing mudas can be remembered using the acronym
DOWNTIME.

Versions of A Process
What You Think It Is... What It Really Is.. What It Should Be... What It Could Be...
Human Resource Management Department
83
There are four major versions of a process map. First what individuals who touch the process think it is.
Second, reconciling what the process map is into what it really is, is a second version of the process. These first two versions of the process constitute what is referred to as the “as is” process map. A thorough “as is” process map is one of the short-term goals of good process mapping.
As the team moves forward and does process analysis and problem-solving, eventually they will move toward the third version of the process map – the “should be” map. At this point, a check must be made as to whether customer needs and requirements have been met or exceeded.
If they have not, the entire process must be reengineered (i.e., redone from scratch) which would result in what some call the “could be” process map.

A diagnostic model begins with a clear definition of system or organizational effectiveness I.e., success). This may take a stakeholder perspective and provide prioritized organizational metrics. An organization’s mission and values should play an important role in defining success and prioritizing success metrics. The model should provide a clear process to measure organizational success.
A diagnostic model will also identify all of the critical elements within the (system) organization and explain how the elements combine to effect success. This is often depicted with a causal diagram showing the leading and lagging variables. The model should provide a structured approach to identify the organizational gaps effecting organizational success.
Thus, a diagnostic model relates to specific organizational “gaps” (e.g., alignment of system elements) to overall organizational effectiveness (i.e., success gap).

A prescriptive model assumes a specific measure of success that applies to all organizations and the necessary conditions for that success. It is a prescriptive model which suggests what should be done base on an established assumptions or a set of standards. The gaps that it identifies involve the difference between ”what is” and “ what should be.” The “should be” is determined by the model’s assumptions about what is the best way to manage an organizations.
For example, the Likert Model is a humanistic, organizational development model that assumes that organizations are most effective when employees are allowed to fully participate in the processes that affect their work life. The model distinguishes between the least effective approach (System 1) which is an autocratic organization with virtually no participation or power for employees in organization processes to the ideal (system 4) which employs a very progressive level of employee involvement in all of the major organizational processes.
A contingency model assumes that there is no one best way to manage an organization. Rather, the external and internal conditions facing an organization determine the best way to manage the organization at that time. For a contingency model to be effective it must include a clear measure of organizational success, a determination of all of the major elements of the system (organization) and a causal explanation of how these elements interact to produce organizational success.

Financial measures are a lag indicator and the ultimate determination of organizational success.
The financial metrics selected must be appropriate to incent behaviors aligned with long-term success of the company.
Customer measures (loyalty, NPS) for targeted customers are lagging indicators of a company's customer value proposition.
Internal processes (operations measures) create & deliver the value proposition for the customers and are leading indicators of subsequent improvement in customer and financial outcomes.
Workforce objectives describe how the people, technology and organizational climate combine to support strategy and are lead indicators for the other three outcomes.

The experiment on overcoming resistance to change stemmed from the problem of employees’ reluctance to changes. Workers were not satisfied with the job transfers. They had to constantly leave tasks at which they had just developed proficiency. As a result, the company was encountering lower output, grievances, and increased labor turnover. The more difficult the new job, the greater was the degree of frustration.[5] [7] That is why Coch and French established four experimental groups. In this research they were trying to address the two main questions:
Why do people resist change so strongly?
What can be done to overcome this resistance?[2] [7]
The first group was a control group. The new changes at work were announced to them in a usual manner and they were given a chance to ask questions. The second group was given more precise information about changes and was allowed to elect representatives who would participate in planning and setting the new production rates. Members of groups 3 and 4 were entirely involved in the discussion process with management about all aspects of the change. They could make a number of recommendations and help to plan the most efficient methods for doing the new job.[11] [12] The result of the experiment was that the level of productivity and the amount of aggression expressed against management varied inversely with the degree of participation in the changes.[7] Average production in the first group dropped 20 per cent and did not regain the pre-change level. The group which participated through representatives required two weeks to recover its pre-change output and, finally, groups 3 and 4 reached an increase of about 15% of the output their prechange productivity levels.[11]
Coch and French’s examination have indicated that behavior of employees can be influenced by their direct participation and involvement.[13]

Lewin postulated that in any situation there are two types of forces, driving forces pushing for change and resisting forces that oppose the change or action.
An individual's "field" (Lewin used the term "life space") describes that person's motives, values, needs, moods, goals, anxieties, and ideals.
When the forces are equal, we have equilibrium or no change. At any point in time, an individual is in equilibrium because their habits, needs, expectations and personality strongly influences how they will act.
We are all perfectly designed to behave the way we do. When conditions change, we continue to behave as programmed unless the balance of forces change.
“Development (or regression) of an individual occurs when their "life space" has a "boundary zone" experience with external stimuli. Note, it is not merely the experience that causes change in the "life space", but the acceptance (internalization) of external stimuli.”
Using this model suggests that there are only two ways to bring about change (manipulate the external environment),
1) increase the driving forces or 2) reduce the resisting forces.
Which is best?
motives, values, needs, moods, goals, anxieties, and ideals
