WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

For most organizations, managing the people side of change is a major challenge and a reason for delays, errors, and cost overruns. Whether the change is organizational, IT, work process, or cultural, overcoming employee resistance is critical to success.

Drawing on our in-depth experience helping internal managers, internal change leads, and HR professionals, we will show you why people resist change and the difference between “early adopters, fence sitters and resisters.”

And we will provide you with tools to assess who is impacted by a change and how to use this information to target your communication, engagement, and training activities.
