Innovation Audit 2.0 Facilitator Resource Information Pack 2016

AssentireÂŽ Innovation Audit 2.0 Exploring agility in Groups & Teams

Facilitator Resources & Questionnaire For Rebalancing Groups & Teams

®

Assentire Innovation Audit 2.0 Gain greater awareness of the different perceptions across the group, enabling you to define what you would like to have happen.

Facilitator resources can be used independently of the questionnaire.

The Innovation Audit is inspired by the work of C Argyris, D Schön, R Schwarz, D Stone, E Deci, R Ryan, D Coghlan, E Schein, Robert Kegan

About the questionnaire Answering the questions will take typically less than 10 minutes.

When you answer the questions, please keep in mind the group or team you want to explore.

Questions are structured to explore each individual’s view of the following: Internal Group Dynamic (Intra-Group Dynamic) Group Environment (Inter-Group Dynamic)

Innovation Audit 2.0 exploring the agility of Groups and Teams http://Innovationaudit.net © 2016 Assentire Ltd All rights reserved Page 1

By proceeding, you confirm you are doing so voluntarily Paper Option Step 1

Send (email or print) this document to all members of the group you wish to support.

Step 2

Ask each member to score all 26 questions.

NB: You can use this questionnaire as a one-off, or for repeated interventions (longitudinal).

Step 3

Take note of the Group Dynamic Score (GDS) where GDS = A – B (see page 4) This can range from +80 to -80

Step 4

Take note of the Group Environment Score (GES) where GES = C (see page 5) This can range from 0 to 100

Step 5

Record the GDS & GES scores using an anonymized process for each member and track how these scores change each time you gather the results.

This is best displayed if you have two charts where the horizontal axis is the week number, and the vertical axis for the chart is either the Group Dynamic Score (GDS) or the Group Environment Score (GES) Alternatively, you may want to create ‘Snapshot Charts’ discussed at the end of this document.

Step 6

If you would like support in diagnosing challenging Group Dynamics, make sure the detailed scores (all 26 questions) for all members are kept in a safe place. When you are ready to explore, feel free to contact rod.willis@assentire.net and he will explain how you can take the diagnostic further.

Online Option If you would like an easier way of gathering anonymized data, we can provide an online version using the same questions. You will also have access to a Real-Time online report if you take this path. There is a charge for this service, which is depends on the scope of your project.

Monitoring & analysis for larger quantities of data is much easier using this approach.

If you are using this tool extensively, please make contact with rod.willis@assentire.net as there is also the option of contrasting your results with a national ‘NORM’ group based on The Innovation 1.0 version*.

Alternatively, you may be interested in creating your own ‘NORM’ group. For more information please visits Innovationaudit.net

*The Innovation Audit 1.0 was used as part of a research project across 9 organisations with a total of 174 participants.

A few of the Innovation Audit questions have since been reworded, however the sentiment of each item remains unchanged. The scale of 1.0 was 1 to 7 and the scale of this updated version is 0 to 10.

NB: Please ignore the ‘(n)’ text in the questions that follow.

Exploring the group’s ‘Learning Dynamic’ – more agile Score the following statements in terms of your experience of your Team or Group.

How strongly do you agree with the following, where 0 = Not at all and 10 = Strongly Agree Many views: When a group member expresses a different view or position, his or her reasoning is explored in an open and inquiring way, e.g. I wonder why you have that view? (I) Collective: Members of the group are keen to hear the views of others, even those issues that may be seen elsewhere as ‘undiscussable’, such as the ‘Elephant in the room’. (I) Ask: I commonly hear members of the group testing their own assumptions and inferences as well as those of others. (C) Collaborate: It is common that members of the group explore and design different approaches jointly rather than individually. (C) Open: Members of the group around here are happy to share relevant information, not keeping it private. (O) Trust: There is quite a high level of trust across the group. (O) Understand: It is rare to encounter misunderstandings, unproductive conflict and defensiveness in the group. (G) Enhanced work-life quality: Over time, I have seen the quality of working life improve. (W)

Exploring the group’s ‘Control Dynamic’ – less agile Score the following statements in terms of your experience of your Team or Group.

How strongly do you agree with the following, where 0 = Not at all and 10 = Strongly Agree One view: When a group member expresses a different view or position, their reasoning is not explored or asked for. (I) Individual: Members of the group don’t want to hear another’s view in case they find theirs is not the best. I see this reluctance to listen all the time. (I) Tell: I commonly hear members of the group telling others what decision should be made, or which course of action should be taken. (C) Manipulate: It is common that members of the group seek to establish a shared narrative with undisclosed methods, for example, saying: Don’t you think it would be a good idea if we outsourced the work? (C) Closed: When a group member is advocating their position, they do not share their reasoning. (O) Mistrust: There is quite a high level of mistrust across the group. (O) Misunderstand: It is common to see misunderstandings, unproductive conflict and defensiveness in the group. (G) Degraded work-life quality: Over time, I have seen the quality of working life decline. (W)

Overall Group Environment Score = C Innovation Audit 2.0 exploring the agility of Groups and Teams http://Innovationaudit.net © 2016 Assentire Ltd All rights reserved Page 5

Plotting your scores using ‘Snapshot Charts’ Case 1 This Group Dynamic shows a strong tendency towards the upper part of the plot. This would suggest many of the perceived behaviours observed across the group are more likely to enable the group to be agile and learn from what is experienced. This is because the dynamics are more about Learning than Control. You might think of this as a more agile way of working. This means the Group is far better positioned to be able to know when & how to respond to a VUCA environment.

Group Dynamic

VUCA = Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.

NB: Exploring the Group Dynamic is achieved by bringing the two semi-circles together as shown. The upper half represents the Learning Dynamic and the lower half the Control Dynamic. By shading the scores for all 16 questions, you start to see an image that represents how one individual perceives the group.

This Group Environment shows that all areas are either near or above the mid point. There is known to be a direct relationship (not necessarily causal) between the Group Environment and the Group Dynamic. This would suggest this group is operating in an environment where Collaboration, Communications, and Motivation are perceived to be very strong and Support and Culture may be areas of possible exposure under times of pressure.

NB: Please review the question directly associated with each label to ensure the definition is more clearly understood. So as we consider Culture, the definition is “People actively look for conflict of interests without judgements or blame and negotiate any changes”

Case 2 This Group Dynamic shows a strong tendency towards the lower part of the plot. This would suggest many of the perceived behaviours observed across the group are less likely to enable the group to be agile and learn from what is experienced. This is because the dynamics are more about Control than Learning. You might think of this as a less agile way of working. As a result, it may not be well positioned to know when & how to respond to a VUCA environment.

Three different 90-minute workshops exploring aspects of Group Dynamics Purpose and Outcome

Process

Explore the Group Dynamic to know what to do next for the group to become more or less agile.

A 90-minute Peer-Coaching session to explore the Group Dynamic with 4 to 6 participants of a specific group.

This is achieved by scoring sixteen statements, then reflecting on how each group member experiences the same group. Paying particular attention to the similarities & differences between members.

Conceptual origins: Mutual Learning and Unilateral Control

Explore the Group Relationships to know what the group & its members’ need to do next to be able to work together more effectively.

A 90-minute Workshop to explore key aspects of Group Relationships with 4 to 6 participants of a specific group.

This is achieved by working with cards, then reflecting on how each group member experiences the same group relationships.

Conceptual origins: Fundamental Interpersonal Relationship Orientation

Explore the Group Environment to know what characteristics the group is operating within.

Understanding how these might be helping or hindering specific group behaviours.

A 90-minute Peer-Coaching session to explore the Group Environment with 4 to 6 participants of a specific group.

This is achieved by scoring ten statements, then reflecting on how each group member experiences the same group environment.

Conceptual origins: Self-Determination Theory, Competing Commitments & Transition Process

Members of the group around here are happy to share relevant information, not keeping it private.

There is quite a high level of trust across the group.

It is rare to encounter misunderstandings, XQSURGXFWLYH FRQćLFW DQG GHIHQVLYHQHVV in the group.

Over time, I have seen the quality of working life improve.

When a group member expresses a different view or position, their reasoning is not explored or asked for.

Members of the group don’t want to hear another’s YLHZ LQ FDVH WKH\ ĆQG WKHLUV LV QRW WKH EHVW , VHH WKLV UHOXFWDQFH WR OLVWHQ DOO WKH WLPH

I commonly hear members of the group telling others what decision should be made, or which course of action should be taken.

It is common that members of the group seek to establish a shared narrative with undisclosed methods, for example, saying: Don’t you think it would be a good idea if we outsourced the work?

Communication

When people in the organization encounter opposition to change, they see this as an opportunity to learn, treating the objections as a form of organizational intelligence. They don’t assume everyone is always resistant to change.

People actively listen and acknowledge perceptions of all group members.
