• Who is really resistant? Use diffusion of innovation curve/adopter categories to identify true resistors (slides 16-22)

• Change Puzzle: Identify the cause of resistance

  • Peter Senge's Change Puzzle illustrates how six critical elements combine to produce effective change in an organization. However, if one element is missing, we end up with a very different outcome.

  • Choose one "laggard" that you think you have a chance of overcoming. Use the outcomes (far right column of Change Puzzle) to identify what is happening. The greyed out box is what is missing = cause of resistance. What can you do about it?

  • Choose one "late adopter" and repeat.

• Use administrators as partners - Role of the administrator/accountability

• What has worked? Strategy share.
