The Importance of Driving Organizational Change and Growth
In this podcast episode, the focus is on the critical drivers of success for organizational change and growth, known as fluency, amount, coherence, and time (FACT). The speakers convene to answer questions and discuss how to steer change towards positive business outcomes. They emphasize the significance of focusing on people when driving change and highlight the importance of aligning strategies with scientific research. The goal is to make organizations more human through science and identify habits that individuals can practice to change behavior. The episode also touches on the measurement of behavior change and provides anecdotal examples of its effectiveness.
The Evolution of Learning Architecture: From Change to Cultural Impact
This episode delves into how learning architecture transitions from influencing change to creating cultural impact within organizations. The conversation revolves around the mission and vision of the Neuro Leadership Institute, which aims to identify and implement habit activation strategies for achieving change in weeks rather than years. The focus is on making organizations more human through science, leveraging neuroscience research to drive behavior change. The importance of creating habits and using a common language across the organization is emphasized to promote growth mindset, diversity, equity, inclusion, and psychological safety.
Overcoming Cognitive Bias and Hybrid Work Challenges
The podcast delves into overcoming cognitive biases, particularly the distance bias, in hybrid workspaces. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by people managers in providing growth opportunities fairly to both on-site and remote employees. They emphasize the need to recognize and mitigate biases by consciously applying habits and behaviors that promote inclusion and fairness. The importance of slowing down decision-making processes and evaluating options more thoughtfully is stressed to ensure fair treatment and growth opportunities for all employees, regardless of location.
Measuring the Success of Change Initiatives
Measurement of change initiatives is a key consideration discussed in the podcast. The importance of measuring behavior change, such as the frequency of habit activation, is emphasized as a means to evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives. The podcast introduces the Behavior Change Pulse (BCP), a survey-based tool that captures self-reported and peer-reported data on habit implementation. Results from past programs indicate that 70-90% of participants continue practicing the desired habits one to three times per week, demonstrating successful behavior change.
Less is More: Essential Habits for Effective Change
The podcast emphasizes the concept of focusing on essential habits rather than overwhelming participants with exhaustive information. They discuss the transformative power of identifying and practicing a few essential habits that can have the greatest impact on behavior change. Examples from various programs, including GROW, DECCIDE, and bias mitigation programs, illustrate how organizations achieve significant results by having all members practice the same essential habits simultaneously. The importance of creating a common language, slowing down decision-making processes, and fostering inclusion is stressed to drive positive change at scale.
When driving organizational change, it’s key to consider approaches that will resonate widely and stick with people for the long term. Fluency, amount, coherence and time (F.A.C.T.) are the critical drivers of sustained and inclusive growth.
In this episode, NLI’s experts share perspectives on building organizations from first-hand experience, while answering questions to highlight best practices to ignite learning initiatives at-scale for teams.
