In our world of VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous), a capacity for change and adaption is vital. However, changing successfully has been a challenging task for both individuals and organizations. Taking into account the insights of neuroscience, this chapter introduces a framework of change management called STREAP-Be. The acronym represents 7 factors that could significantly influence the effect of change: safety; trigger; reward; emotion; alignment; people; and behavior.

This article describes the process of organizational change due to technological evolutions, suggesting that community-specific differences in discourse may have a considerable influence on its success. The questions for this study focus on: 1) how do we define a technically oriented employee who has to cope with organizational change? 2) Which factors determine the reaction to organizational change projects in which these technically oriented employees are involved? And 3) what are the consequences of these specific characters of technically oriented employees for implementing change programs in the most effective manner? First, while the present studies on professional communication do not pay any attention to change management, the current models of change management also barely pay attention to (professional) discourse. Second, we examine culture, which can be divided into national culture (NC), organizational culture (OC), and professional culture (PC). In this case study, we focus on the professional cultures of specific (change) managers and technicians and their discourse in the utilities sector. After this, we describe the case study, which exemplifies how change results can be influenced. It seems that in a technical environment, the change process and interventions need to be specific, concrete, and to the point. However, there also seems to be a dilemma between universal (e.g. mechanistic and formal) and contingency (e.g. organic, informal and emergent) approaches to the change process. The results of this study show the need to analyze cultures through discourse and through PC as a way to differentiate discourse between technical and non-technical employees. We suggest further research on three aspects that interfere and influence the change effort: context, discourse, and professional cultures of (change) managers and technicians.
Digital transformation has been recognized for its potential to contribute to sustainability goals. It requires companies to develop their Data Analytic Capability (DAC), defined as their ability to collect, manage and analyze data effectively. Despite the governmental efforts to promote digitalization, there seems to be a knowledge gap on how to proceed, with 37% of Dutch SMEs reporting a lack of knowledge, and 33% reporting a lack of support in developing DAC. Participants in the interviews that we organized preparing this proposal indicated a need for guidance on how to develop DAC within their organization given their unique context (e.g. age and experience of the workforce, presence of legacy systems, high daily workload, lack of knowledge of digitalization). While a lot of attention has been given to the technological aspects of DAC, the people, process, and organizational culture aspects are as important, requiring a comprehensive approach and thus a bundling of knowledge from different expertise. Therefore, the objective of this KIEM proposal is to identify organizational enablers and inhibitors of DAC through a series of interviews and case studies, and use these to formulate a preliminary roadmap to DAC. From a structure perspective, the objective of the KIEM proposal will be to explore and solidify the partnership between Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas), Avans University of Applied Sciences (Avans), Logistics Community Brabant (LCB), van Berkel Logistics BV, Smink Group BV, and iValueImprovement BV. This partnership will be used to develop the preliminary roadmap and pre-test it using action methodology. The action research protocol and preliminary roadmap thereby developed in this KIEM project will form the basis for a subsequent RAAK proposal.
This PD project aims to gather new knowledge through artistic and participatory design research within neighbourhoods for possible ways of addressing and understanding the avoidance and numbness caused by feelings of vulnerability, discomfort and pain associated with eco-anxiety and chronic fear of environmental doom. The project will include artistic production and suitable forms of fieldwork. The objectives of the PD are to find answers to the practice problem of society which call for art that sensitises, makes aware and helps initiate behavioural change around the consequences of climate change. Rather than visualize future sea levels directly, it will seek to engage with climate change in a metaphorical and poetic way. Neither a doom nor an overly techno-optimistic scenario seem useful to understand the complexity of flood risk management or the dangers of flooding. By challenging both perspectives with artistic means, this research hopes to counter eco-anxiety and create a sense of open thought and susceptibility to new ideas, feelings and chains of thought. Animation and humour, are possible ingredients. The objective is to find and create multiple Dutch water stories, not just one. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop new methods for selecting and repurposing existing impactful stories and strong images. Citizens and students will be included to do so via fieldwork. In addition, archival materials will be used. Archives serve as a repository for memory recollection and reuse, selecting material from the audiovisual archive of the Institute of Sound & Vision will be a crucial part of the creative work which will include two films and accompanying music.
Gezond beweeggedrag bevordert de kwaliteit van leven en helpt bij het verminderen of voorkomen van gezondheidsklachten en heeft een positieve invloed op sociaal welbevinden, participatie en welzijn. Gezond leven is primair de verantwoordelijkheid van mensen zelf, maar niet iedereen is in staat om gezond gedrag zelfstandig te initiëren en vol te houden. Voor deze mensen is in de eerstelijnszorg veel aandacht. Frustrerend is dat ondanks alle inspanningen de zorgprofessionals, zoals de fysiotherapeut, praktijkondersteuner en beweegconsulent, zelf inschat-ten dat 50-90% van de cliënten binnen een jaar terugvalt in ongezond beweeggedrag. Hoewel aansluiten bij de mate van zelfmanagement van de cliënt hierbij kansrijk lijkt, blijkt de huidige aanpak onvoldoende. Bewijskracht voor het belang van het stimuleren van gezond gedrag in de context, een combinatie van achtergrondkenmerken en sociaal, psychisch en fysiek functioneren in de leefomgeving, neemt toe. Maar hoe betrek je als professional deze context in een persoonsgericht ondersteuningstraject? Hogeschool Leiden, De Haagse Hogeschool en Hogeschool Rotterdam gaan samen een methodiek ontwikkelen die antwoord geeft op deze vraag. Het BiBoZ project identificeert functioneringsprofielen vanuit cliëntenperspectief en identificeert profielspecifieke bouwstenen voor duurzaam gezond beweeggedrag. De functioneringsprofielen zijn gebaseerd op individuele kenmerken en gedrag beïnvloedende componenten zoals het fysieke, sociale en psychische functioneren in de dagelijkse leefomgeving van de cliënt. Bouwstenen zijn bestaande interventies en diensten zoals: beweeginterventie, een app of verwijzing naar een beweegaanbod of burgerinitiatief. Voor het definiëren van de functioneringsprofielen en bouwstenen starten we bij de cliënt, werken we gedurende het hele traject in co-creatie met de praktijk, gebruiken we het Behavioural Change Wheel als theoretisch raamwerk en gebruiken we naast kwalitatieve technieken ontwerpgerichte onderzoekstechnieken. Vanuit deze nieuwe open en brede blik werken we toe naar een prototype van een methodiek te gebruiken door zorgprofessionals voor op maat ondersteunen van hun cliënten in het bereiken van duurzaam gezond beweeggedrag.
