Interventions: Infrastructural dimension - Lecture notes

6 important questions on Interventions: Infrastructural dimension - Lecture notes

What are large group interventions?

Large group interventions is a method for involving the whole system, internal and external in a planned change process. It includes everyone who has a stake, gives all participants the ability to influence deliberation and searches for common ground.

The large group interventions include 64 people, divided in 8 groups and its duration is 3 days.

Why are large group interventions in 8 groups of 8 people?

Because this is manageable and people tend to give their opinion in this group sizes.

What are the 5 levels of participation in change we distinguish and on which level are group interventions?

The difference is based on the influence of decision making (x) and the willingness for action (support base) (y).

From bottom left to upper right (latter is desired).
Tell, sell, test, consult and co-create.

Large group interventions are focused on co-creation.

What is the intervention infrastructure about?

The intervention infrastructure is about grouping and allocating intervention activities into a network of intervention. It aims to realize the functional and social goals.

What is the HR in the infrastructural dimension about?

HR is about the jobs, skills and motivation of members of the intervention organization.

Ideally the intervention organization consists of 12 people. The size can change based on the activities that need to be executed.

Which 3 factors affect the intervention process? Elaborate on these.

Factor 1: Knowledge
1. Department focus --> people have no idea what happens in other units.
2. Social distance between manager and staff.
3. Structural blindness and doubt awareness --> they do not have knowledge about design concepts and do not discuss this.

Factor 2: Skills
New are needed and old are useless.
1. Problem solving is needed, but not part of high parameter values
2. Cooperation is needed to specify flows and team tasks

Factor 3: Motivation
1. Performance evaluation for the department instead of organization.
2. Reduce autonomy of managers
3. Last option is to change structure

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
