Joachim Stroh has been on the traditional information and knowledge management track for more than 15 years before shifting gears and moving on to the people side of things, always bridging the gap between business and technology (he is an architect at heart). A master with visualizations, he finds the best metaphors to seek a better understanding and to get more people involved.

In our networked world we’re more connected to our organizations, society, environment - and each other. Catherine brings her background as a management consultant marketer and technologist, to help organizations and people build new agilities and adaptations to the way they network, learn, lead and create value.

What Work Is Like TodayThe world of work has become monotonous, joyless, and sanitized. Workers are assigned soulless tasks that are to be executed with drone-like efficiencies. Jobs are molded into obstinate competencies that are surrounded by political turf wars. Organizations are stuck in the industrial age unable to take advantage of the new networked era.
Terry Gilliam/Brazil
The Challenge for the OrganizationOrganizations are facing discontinuous and disruptive change, but organizational inertia blocks any attempt to formulate a response. This inertia must be overcome if a firm is to survive. Our mission is to fight this inertia and make the organization more responsive, more resilient, and open to change.
The Challenge for the IndividualOur change agents bring fun, creativity, and passion back to the workplace by empowering individuals and teams to innovate in new and unusual ways and by evolving towards egalitarian networked structures that are goal-focused and growth-oriented. This enterprise reboot will result in a step change in innovation, productivity, and growth. Let’s get started.
The Challenge for Change AgentsWe work socially. We hold very few phone calls and web-conferences, and we do not email our members. We communicate and share nearly exclusively online on our private and public platforms. These skillsets allow our Change Agents to maintain a holistic view and to keep an eye on the dinosaurs down at the river banks...

Why this workshop
We’ll show how we work, so you
can do, too.
What are Stories? “Stories are statements
regarding the facts pertinent to a
situation in question, they can be anecdotes, the
intrigue or plot of a narrative or
dramatic work.”
see also Denning
Why Stories
● stories have a beginning, middle & end
● stories act as an attractor (img)
● stories are easy to relate to● stories often continue for
weeks or months● everyone feels energized,
even for stories with a bad ending
Here’s a Story
example WOL under the stairs + pic from Jonathan Anthony talking to ee’s
Stories: The CA Incubator Celine Schillinger,
launched a revolution at Sanofi-Pasteur.
She brought passion, courage, conviction to changing the culture.
● Internal Social Campaign for Gender Balance
● External Social Campaign for Break Dengue
Swarming for EducationMasters Program, Learning and Organizational Change, Northwestern University#msloc430
● 560 tweets in an hour● 50 participants● Four posted knowledge management topics● Curated list of enterprise social network
tactics and strategies created● List of thought leadership and blog material● Lasting relationship between NWU & CAWW● High impact experience for students
Welcome to Biology Class.
People are social animals.
We apply lessons from nature to the complex work problems seen inside companies today.
Cooperation and sharing openly, within a set of trusted relationships, creates value for the entire community.
What are Swarms?
Swarm behaviour, or swarming, is a collective behaviour exhibited by animals of similar size which aggregate together, perhaps milling about the same spot or perhaps moving en masse or migrating in some direction. (Wikipedia)
“From a more abstract point
of view, swarm behaviour is the
collective motion of a
large number of self-propelled
entities.”
O'Loan; Evans (1998). "Alternating steady state in one-dimensional flocking". Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General 32 (8): L99–L105
Swarms at CAWW
Swarms are network-wide calls-to-action through an ad-hoc, unscheduled announcement.
Anyone can participate; further interactions move into separate spaces.
Why Swarms
● Swarms provide important, urgent information in a central location● Collaborative technology provides mechanisms for the alert (email,
mobile and in-app visuals) as well as abilities for transparent communication (commenting and alerts)
● Used for information gathering and observation, sense of urgency and alignment, very little contribution required to arrive at large outcome
Show Me The (Swarm) Money!
Here’s a Swarm
example: arrival of a new client, call-for-papers, etc.

Swarm Tactics
Diving Into Pods
“In the ocean, a dolphin pod is the basic social unit. It provides for a cooperative, social way of life and increases the chances for individual survival. Cooperation and forming alliances are ways in which the more complex mammals attempt to manipulate their social environment. Such alliances require sophisticated means of communication in order to manage relationships. Dolphins do this by forming fluid, temporary groups called "pods", typically consisting of 2-15 animals. Dolphins are very social creatures and appear to need each other while hunting, defending themselves and their pods, and (obviously) mating.”
What are Pods
Pods are secure, online, collaborative instantiated workspaces; they are based on a given template and process and require little or no onboarding for clients.
Pods are pressure cookers that need to reach a certain “core temperature” when everything is on the line
Everything is highly visible and accountable to raise the level of trust, surface organizational issues quickly
Initially overload the pod with more-than-needed experts, both ECAs and SCAs
Asynchronous experience for clients and Change Agents; add and consume as you can
Why Pods
Thought Leadership PodDirect client collaboration in a Pod lead to a series of successful webinars and whitepapers presented to thousands of customers.
What are Job Jars
Job jars contain important tasks that an organization grapples with, free for anyone in the organization to take on. Like a cookie jar, this concept requires an open and transparent process to work (you can see all cookies in the jar, it’s easy to open the jar, etc). Some employees will prefer chocolate cookies with a rich texture over plain vanilla ones.
What are Job Jars
This kind of openness and transparent process will help alleviate fear and mistrust. For those that feel threatened, cookies don't have to be strategic (or oversized) - start with small cookies, get the recognition and rewards in place and build from there.
Why Job Jars
Job jars allow you to connect with your co-workers and choose with whom you like to work.
What/Green Rooms
The best way to understand the value of the expertise and strength of a network, is to have a conversation. On occasion, we will invite a company into our virtual office for the unique opportunity to discuss one particular issue from your organization in private and for free. You will experience firsthand the accumulated knowledge and wisdom of our members. The format is an open conversation - the more you can share, the more help and insights we can provide. Everything that is shared will stay inside the room. Come sit down with our world class team. We'd love to talk to you about your greatest change challenges.Catherine
What is a Green Room
Why a Green Room
A unique opportunity to get to know the client, the issues etc. without the performance pressure; a pull, not a push mechanism to draw in select people without the competence pressure; a way to sort through things before an actual project is started and resources are assigned
Green Room Example

Introducing the
Organizational Transformation MatrixA better way to approach organizational change through a transparent & open process that unlocks human potential.
“We are the sum of our parts. We are a stained glass window of different colors that combine to become an image of the future.” - Susan Scrupski
Why do you need a matrix like this?● To provide a shared framework for
organizational transformation, impact and change (you speak the same language across departments)
● To uncouple the framework from technology and make it vendor- agnostic (you want technology to follow function, not vv.)
● To preserve the diversity of work delivered by your change agents (they don’t take the normal path)
● To create a matrix that continuously updates your services portfolio (you continuously re-invent yourself)
MOBILIZEORG
POTENTIAL
UNLOCK HUMAN
POTENTIAL
This is the critical center piece that determines
everything else.
How to best use the matrix
● as a pathway/roadmap for an org transformation ● as a constantly evolving portfolio/architecture● as a strange loop* to see what we are actually doing
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_loop
How to best use the matrix
● begin with the end in mind and gain momentum throughout the organization
● begin at the heart of the matter (executive level), from there transform the organization
● select a few areas/patterns for improvement and see how the patient does (pain points)
● select all areas/patterns and iterate (slow fractal pattern)
Five kinds of change
● Individual change is change that we can enable on a personal level through simple introductions, guidelines, or initiatives.
● Systemic change is change that deeply pervades all parts of a system, taking into account the interrelationships and interdependencies among those parts.
● Structural change is change that alters the way authority, capital, information, and responsibility flows in an organization.
● Culture change is change that alters group norms of behavior, practices, attitudes and assumptions and the underlying shared values that help keep those norms in place. Denning Kotter
● Behavior Change applies a method or technique for changing one or several psychological determinants of behavior such as a person's attitude or self-efficacy.
Five drivers of changeIt is important to note that you are using existing language and refrain from using new terminology (i.e. the complex side effects that emerge)
● Organizational Communications & Collaboration - Communicating & collaborating around a common objective
● Organizational Alignment & Capacity - Consistently clear understanding of the organization’s purpose throughout the business organization’s entire value chain.
● Organizational Capability & Intelligence - Capability of an organization to comprehend and conclude knowledge relevant to its business purpose and to drive meaningful business results.
● Organizational Design & Governance - Process of reshaping and realigning organization structure, process, rewards, metrics and talent in order to achieve the outcomes the organization intends to produce.
● Organizational Performance & Effectiveness - Carrying out or accomplishing an action, task, or function.

● This is the initial state, begin to uncover key drivers for change
● Select a few rows that drive change throughout the organization
● Run down a few columns that correspond to the selected rows
● Look for experts in change for selected squares
● Realize that some squares are easy to transform, others require significant effort

“A creature with a body plan designed for crawling on land and in trees becomes a creature with a body plan that is designed for flight. Other than life itself, they share nothing. The caterpillar cannot start to thin out, grow small wings, grow small legs etc all incrementally as a mechanical process. Instead it enters a kind of death, pupation, and emerges as an entirely new creature. It is either a caterpillar, a pupa, or a butterfly.” - Robert Paterson

A critical business need is to enable employees need to deepen their understanding, commitment and engagement around good practice with security and have it be more than a compliance check mark. The focus of this engagement is on the internal workforce. They are seeking assistance from members of Change Agents Worldwide to implement two project areas:
● Develop a program for the [client] global network of employees and researchers to increase their awareness and engagement in IT Security and related compliance training and activities
● Launch of an organization-wide Enterprise Social Network that will engage key stakeholder units and become an essential fabric to all employees to stay informed, and connected to one another and the company culture.

● Accelerating innovation - we have to recognize that we don't necessarily know the best way to work, but we must trust that we have the right people around to get us there. Increasing our connectivity and collaboration opens new possibilities. How does the "new" spur innovation and take it to market?
● Accelerating leadership - leaders matter a lot, in every setting, org, and corp. Leaders are at their best when they're surrounded by others who amplify their strengths and support their areas of growth. How does the "new" increase the rise of leaders and retention of talent?
● Accelerating learning - information and knowledge work has changed the predictability of jobs, especially for specialists. How does the "new" empower people to learn faster and take on more problem-solver roles?
