3.2. What means “Mindful” for the Group
* For our group, the “mindful” idea wraps many concepts, issues and processes that arequite important for any change project. It is interesting to notice that the individual perceptions and the individual learning associated to the “mindful” idea have been highly enhanced with the group discussion. Mindful means for us the need to be aware of the complexity of the real life, especially in a change process or project. Moreover, the dynamic nature of real life force the need to stayconstantly reviewing the details of the environment on and around the focus of the change project. Failing on doing so strongly limits the possibility of success of any change initiative because it creates a breach -a gap- between what we do or what we think has to be done and what must be done.

4.4. What means “Mobilise” for the GroupMobilize people is one of the greatest challenges in a process of change, because this action involves breaking the bureaucracy, create effective policies and break the established frameworks. Mobilising driving forces before embarking on the change process to better manage restraining forces is crucial to the success of the change project. The forces behind the movement of people have anemotional rather than rational basis, and when we want to manage these forces need to understand what are the shortcomings and disadvantages. Building coalitions is key to moving the right forces. Therefore, we must recognize which resources will help us in order to achieve our change and which not, and only after this analysis can form a winning coalition.
