  17. The design phase is about Change – 70% of org leaders have seen change initiatives fail “It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to handle, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to implement than initiating change.” “Innovation makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old regime and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is indifferent partly from fear and partly because men are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience.” Machiavelli, The Prince, 1513 091228-UB2-Jan 8 Exec Orientation v4 Note: N=562.

  30. Program keys to success • We are embarking on a major reengineering effort - major change programs like this are hard. Expect and address resistance and organizational obstacles along the way. • Broad input from a cross-section of the campus (across function, professional backgrounds, etc.) and buy-in from leaders, project teams, and the campus at largeis absolutely critical. • We are accountable to the results. Even though we will be working on 10 separate initiatives; we share a common goal. The Program Office plays a vital role in coordinating and tracking, but each of us must hold each other accountable to results at every meeting. • Follow the 80/20 rule: 80% of the savings can likely happen with quick hits and a few bold efforts. Prioritize efforts and energy on capturing the 80% quickly vs. getting the remaining 20%. 091228-UB2-Jan 8 Exec Orientation v4
