Shake It Up: Getting Savvy and Successful at Driving Organizational Change
Session Type(s): Training
Starts: Thursday, Jun. 20 1:30 PM (Eastern)
Ends: Thursday, Jun. 20 2:45 PM (Eastern)
Do you feel your organization is falling behind or even failing at its purpose? Do you feel organizational change has become harder to achieve? Many progressives feel this way, yet we rarely get the time to learn about the science and skill of leading change from within. We will share effective tools and model cases for dissolving the barriers to change in your organization. You may want to lead your organization to adopt new technologies, develop a more rigorous or creative culture, build greater diversity, innovate new methods and services or tap untapped resources. We will workshop our challenges, harnessing intelligence from all types of organizations, focusing particularly on new insights into behavioral psychology and the power of story. Those who submit challenges beforehand will help the trainers cater the training material to those needs.
