Large Scale Interactive Process
Large Scale Interactive Process (LSIP)
is a methodology to achieve pre-defined objectives involving large
number of participants. It is the most effective methodology for
creating accelerated change and for enhancing employee
engagement. In LSIP, we get all the people concerned / impacted
with the change in the same place at the same time, are provided the
same input, have the same level of opportunity to participate and
contribute and everyone involved knows everything that happens
during that time.
The key success factor is decision making process and announcement
of the same to everyone which offers undiluted understanding of the
decisions and process for the same adopted by the Leadership Team.
The theory behind it is as follows:
The approach is based on Dannemiller Tyson Associates “DVF Model
of Change”
D X V X F > R
D – DISSATISFACTION with the present situation
V – VISION positive picture of what is possible in the future
F – FIRST STEP CHANGES people can take toward reaching the
vision
R – RESISTANCE to change
Thus, according to this model, for any successful change to take
place, the product of D, V and F must be greater than the resistance
to change R.
The “Dissatisfaction” with the present situation is generated
through:
Understanding the environment in relation to our strengths and weaknesses
Various stakeholders addressing the large group, on their areas of dissatisfaction and
Internal customers sharing their dissatisfaction
The “Vision” is evolved through:
Sharing of vision by leadership
Perspective building through listening from and about successful organizations and
Boundary less feel – think by participants culminating into a shared vision
“First Step Action Plan” leads to:
Individuals taking accountability to cause changes at workplace
Department / Team / Group specific action plans
System – wide specific action plans
Purple conducts in-depth discussions with the leadership team to correctly identify the outcome envisaged by the LSIP. Based on the outcome, the Purple Team then sets about designing the event, creating unique tools for use during the LSIP, creates a logistics team amongst representatives of the company and supports the finer issues in execution of the event.
On the day of the event, Purple takes charge to conduct the event and guide the process including the leadership team to provide decisions which yield the desired outcome
