@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
The design dilemma at the heart of
policy implementation
The predominant approach in recent years has been
STRUCTURE
but globally there is a big shift towards AGENCY

Problematic:
changing a
“permission
culture” can
take years
The good news:
we can usually
build agency
much more
quickly

@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Change is most
likely to happen
when five
energies are high
Psychological
Physical
Spiritual
Social Intellectual
Energy for Change
Source: http://www.institute.nhs.uk/tools/energy_for_change/energy_for_change_.html
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Social energy
Energy of personal
engagement, relationships and
connections between people
It’s where people feel a sense of
“us and us”
rather than
“us and them”
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Spiritual energy
Energy of commitment to a common
vision for the future, driven by shared
values and a higher purpose
Gives people the confidence to move towards a
different future that is more compelling than
the status quo
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Psychological energy
Energy of courage, resilience and feeling
safe to do things differently
Involves feeling supported to make a change and
trust in leadership and direction
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Physical energy
Energy of action, getting things done and
making progress
The flexible, responsive drive to make things
happen
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
Intellectual energy
Energy of analysis, planning and thinking
Involves gaining insight as well as planning and
supporting processes, evaluation, and arguing a
case on the basis of logic/ evidence
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
High and low ends of each energy domain
Social isolated solidarity
Spiritual uncommitted higher purpose
Psychological risky safe
Physical fatigue vitality
Intellectual Illogical reason
LOW
HIGH
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
We won’t deliver transformational change
with disproportionately high intellectual
energy
• Intellectual energy on its own isn’t
transformational
• It keeps leaders in their comfort zone (intellect
to intellect)
Emotion is the fuel for change;
data and information provide
direction
Dan Heath
(author of Switch)
@ZoeLord1 #ImproveUEC
“Leadership is not about
making clever decisions
and doing bigger deals.
It is about helping
release the positive
energy that exists
naturally within
people”
Henry Mintzberg
