16 Increasing the Impact of Your Institutional TransformationStages of Change Institutional Cultures Framing the Message CWRU IDEAL-N 2016
17 The Five Stages of ChangeActivities Typical Comments 1. Pre-Contemplation No dialogue about diversity, equity and inclusion “We have always done it this way” “We can’t lower our standards” “We only look at objective criteria” 2. Contemplation Managerial Discussions, Workshops, Taskforces & Committees “Our culture needs to be more welcoming” “We need to figure out how to get and keep women and minority faculty” “Diversity is excellence” 3. Preparation Training and development Resources invested “We have examined best practices for hiring women and minorities” 4. Action Numbers increase Leadership roles increase “We hired our first woman Dean” “Our managers are intentional about unit-level climate” 5. Maintenance Annual data review New policies Rewards/reinforcements “We are always recruiting women and minority applicants” CWRU IDEAL-N 2016 Source: Carnes, Handelsman & Sheridan et al, 2005 17 17
18 Types of Institutional CulturesMonolithic Pluralistic Multicultural Very little attention is paid to recruiting and retaining diverse employees. Attention is paid to increasing diverse representation and enhancing fair treatment. However assimilation into a pre-defined and dominant institutional model is expected. Characterized by policies and practices that facilitate the inclusion of diverse employees— encouraging the full utilization of talent and enhancing employees’ abilities to contribute to their maximum potential.

19 Start Where You Are: Examine Your Stage and CultureWith respect to your Institutional Transformation goals: What stage is your university at? What type of culture permeates your institution? How do your IDEAL-N departments vary by stage of change and type of culture? How can this information help you tailor your message about the goals of your institutional change theme and project?

20 Start Where You Are: Tailor Your Message to Move the NeedleStage-matched interventions outperform one-size-fits-all interventions in behavior studies. Allows everyone to participate in the change even if they are not ready to take action. Acknowledges that the power to change already exists and is a choice. Concrete reflection of how you can move the needle on change. “A Transtheoretical Approach to Changing Organizations”, Janice M. Prochaska, James O. Prochaska, and Deborah A.

21 Frame Your Transformation MessageCommunication is not just information transmission; it is the management of complex meaning “Framing” organizes experience and shapes content Where do you want the attention? Clearly define and share: Your vision (institutional transformation theme) and change project The goal of the communication/meeting (information, persuasion, collaboration, input, celebration) The mutual purpose of transformation: what is the benefit for all?
