Session description:

Today’s work environment requires leaders to successfully anticipate, initiate and lead change efforts in their organization. Every leader needs to understand the human element of change and why some people may resist innovation and strategic change initiatives.

This change management session focuses on the human aspects of change such as perceptions, assumptions, resistance, beliefs and values which are crucial to change initiatives.

This will include sharing experiences and perspectives with other change leaders, reviewing a high-level framework used in structured change initiatives and applying a selected suite of tools and templates used to lead change successfully.

Participants will learn how to navigate change within their organization as well as orchestrate successful change efforts within their team, division or enterprise.

You will leave with:

An appreciation for the importance, complexity, and challenge of leading change in today’s work environment
Examining the change process from transition to future state
Understanding the four responses to change and how to manage people’s reactions
Anticipating how the proposed change could affect the change target, and assessing potential areas of change resistance
Identifying the main roles people can play during a structured change initiative
Reviewing and beginning to use a tool for assessing the organization’s readiness for the change initiative
Experience working with tools that increase employee involvement and buy-in during change

The Change Impact Analysis tool to use on an organizational change
Providing an opportunity to explore & debate the notion of effective change leadership

Panel Discussion: (more details soon!)
