  We all deal with change, so come learn from a veteran change leader as well as from your peers to face change head-on. You will learn “state of the art” actionable tools and methods that are interwoven with hands-on practice on a change case. You will also apply the ideas and concepts to a change from your own organization and get solutions and input from others in the program that will improve your thinking
  
  Change is coming to our organizations at an ever faster growth. As a result, we are changing our business models, restructuring, recovering, or positioning for new growth. All require fast, deep organizational change.
  
  This program will help you become more effective in planning and implementing successful change in your team and organization. In today’s organization, change leadership can come from anyone in the organization, regardless of their position
  
  Change models and tools have advanced in recent years, providing a “technology for change” that change leaders need to know and be able to apply. Examples of changes include:
  

  • Repositioning an organization for innovation and growth 
  • A troubled unit or team needing solutions 
  • Re-organizations - new structure, downsizing, or new skills needed 
  • Changing Business models  
  • Integrating an acquisition 
  • New exec coming into a role to make changes
    

  This workshop will address:

  • How to position yourself as a change leader 
  • The power of change models and tools 
  • Hands on practice with a real time change scenario 
  • Taking on your own change initiatives 
  • Learning from each other
