Question: How do we move from working in reactive mode and into proactive mode? Responses: Moving from reactive to proactive requires a cultural shift that needs to be deliberately planned and executed over time - change management is critical. Proactive behaviors are rewarded - reactive behaviors are discouraged. By planning?! Step back...to see the bigger picture &amp; talk. Encourage reflection with periodic retreats, whether departmental or by workgroup. Try to involve people who are open minded and forward thinking in your planning/decision making process. Focus on what&#039;s good about what&#039;s not and then strive to make it better. Allow well intentioned mistakes to occur w/o punishment. Schedule time for planning &amp; execution - work on important but not urgent things." height="278" src="http://edit.educause.edu/elements/images/Uploaded_Images/CONNECT/ThinkStop1S.jpg" title="EDUCAUSE SWRC08 ThinkStop#2" width="448" /></p><p>Question: How do we move from working in reactive mode and into proactive mode?</p><p>Responses:</p><ul> <li>Moving from reactive to proactive requires a cultural shift that needs to be deliberately planned and executed over time - change management is critical.</li> <li>Proactive behaviors are rewarded - reactive behaviors are discouraged.</li> <li>By planning?!</li> <li>Step back...to see the bigger picture &amp; talk.</li> <li>Encourage reflection with periodic retreats, whether departmental or by workgroup.</li> <li>Try to involve people who are open minded and forward thinking in your planning/decision making process.</li> <li>Focus on what's good about what's not and then strive to make it better.</li> <li>Allow well intentioned mistakes to occur w/o punishment.</li> <li>Schedule time for planning &amp; execution - work on important but not urgent things.</li></ul> http://connect.educause.edu/display/46336#comments EDUCAUSE_SWRC08 Organizational Change Think Stops Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:50:00 -0600 llarsen 46336 at http://connect.educause.edu
