NORTH LA Virtual | Fundamentals of Effective Change Leadership
No time since the Industrial Revolution did the world change so much while dealing with the COVID 19 pandemic of 2020. We have dealt with unprecedented changes in so many aspects of our lives, it means change is still evolving.
All organizations have to deal with change to stay relevant and competitive. But a majority of them deal with change the same way - they kick the can down the road as long as possible, and then when they absolutely have to make changes, they finally do it.
Only so much fits into a 40-hour workweek. Pressing deadlines, critical projects, and a growing list of priorities can make it difficult to complete everything that needs to get done. And as we all know, introducing changes adds new layers of complexity to the mix.
But fear not! Managing change throughout your organization does not need to be stressful. Having the right processes, tools, and mindset of a Change Manager can help. Let’s go over some of the key challenges in change management...and how to beat them.
Here are the 3 areas where the Change Manager can make the most impact in the shortest duration and bring the most value.
We will focus on:
- People involvement and engagement
- Communication management
- Preparation for Change
Join me as I share my experiences while leading and managing Change Management initiatives.
