Program SYNOPSIS

In the story of Our Iceberg is Melting there is Fred. Fred is a mid-level penguin who makes a rather unnerving discovery; the iceberg that his colony of penguins refers to as home appears to be melting! Given the reception other penguins received in the past when they suggested a need for change, Fred is tempted to ignore his discovery and just go about his business. (Sound familiar?) But luckily for the colony, Fred decides to take action. After a series of encounters and meetings with penguins of all types, a decision is made, and some teams are formed with the task of addressing the problem…

 

This story nicely describes the two key issues that face organisations that intend to survive and thrive:

• First, how do we get folks (like Fred) who see things that need to be done – to show initiative, step up and take action?
• Second, once specific change initiatives are determined, how do we give our teams the insights, tools, and plans they need to be successful?

 

Two Targeted Audiences

Our first goal was to create a program that was versatile enough to accommodate two different types of audiences:

• Individuals with or without a defined responsibility for a specific change; and
• Teams that are going to be responsible for implementing a specific  initiative.

Further, we needed to create an approach flexible enough to accommodate both audiences being in the same workshop.

Our Iceberg is Melting is a simple fable with profound lessons for working and living in an ever changing world. The story is about a penguin colony in Antarctica. A group of emperor penguins live as they have for many years. Then one curious bird discovers a potentially devastating problem threatening their home – and pretty much no one listens to him.

 

The characters in the story, Fred, Alice, Louis, Buddy, the Professor, and NoNo, are like people we recognize – even ourselves. Their story is one of resistance to change and heroic action, confusion and insight, seemingly intractable obstacles and the most clever tactics for dealing with those obstacles. It’s a story that is occurring in different forms all around us today – but the penguins handle the very real challenges a great deal better than most of us.

 

The lessons you can draw from this short and easy-to-read book will serve you well on the job, in your family, and in your community. Based on John Kotter’s pioneering work on how to make smart change happen faster and better, the book provides invaluable guidance no matter if you live at the top of an organization or the bottom. And the lessons are becoming ever more important as the world around us changes faster and faster and faster.
