Looking at the Toyota Lean Temple, we do not see the people aspect focusing specifically on culture change.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativesafetysupply.com\/content\/education-research\/5S\/index.html\"><strong>Toyota has instead built these processes into their 5S program<\/strong><\/a> which is used as a change management approach, but has their 4P\u2019s program picking up most of the people-related issues and behaviors. <strong>The 4P\u2019s \u2013 Philosophy, People, Processes and Problem Solving<\/strong> \u2013 are a guide to how the company operates and in turn, how the employee should behave to support this.<\/p>\n<p>This is communicated extensively and regularly to new and longer-term employees.\u00a0<strong> Communication becomes the key to any change<\/strong> \u2013 often the rumor mill will thwart any change because it is opinion and negativity, not company managed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Understanding Failure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is always a good idea to<strong> understand where the organization is on its journey to be the best.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The simple model compares the organizational maturity to the level of change, giving a guide to the compatibility of the organization with the proposed change, or a \u201cchange fit\u201d. The critical factor is to be within the level that the organization can accommodate. The lower the organizational maturity, the lower the level of change that it can successfully cope with.<strong> Too high a level of change and you move into the \u201cDanger Zone\u201d where the initiative will fail for multiple reasons.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3762 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sg.syspro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/change_management_grid.jpg\" alt=\"change_management_grid\" width=\"722\" height=\"418\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Change Management allows us to change the size of the levels, especially the \u201cDanger Zone\u201d which we want to reduce to as small as possible, or even eliminate.\u00a0 It will also allow us to move an organization into the green and speed up progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forcing change at unsustainable rates will result in failure and sabotage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most important part of this model is that each organization has a unique culture, with its own boundaries which need to be identified and navigated. Management need to recognize this, and understand what can be achieved as a realistic target in the given time frames.<\/p>\n<p>It is often better to start off a bit slower to teach the organization how to win, and then build on the successes and the confidence and push onto the bigger changes.<\/p>\n<p>As discussed before, just copying another organization will not necessarily address your organizational issues. You need your own unique model that suits your organization. There are a lot of business models all covering similar issues, but the organization needs to identify and use models that address its own challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>In the first blog on this topic, I described the origins and background to lean manufacturing.
