Workshop
Beyond Kotter: Is it time to change how we change?
Description
Are you ready to change how you approach change? Look no further than our upcoming workshop at the Business Agility Conference where we will introduce a new mantra for change that will transform the way you view organizational transformation.
We'll start with a brief exploration of traditional change management approaches, including the Kotter Model. Then, we'll take a closer look at the fault lines of traditional approaches and how they can be problematic in our current work reality.
We'll explore a new approach to change management that's human-centric, sustainable, and collaborative. With our new mantra for change, you'll learn to inspire, influence, and connect with your teams in a way that fosters a culture of social capital, where the competitive advantage comes from culture rather than strategy.
Experience the potential of this new approach during the workshop by tapping into the conference network we’ve built together over two days. Don't miss out on this opportunity to breathe new life into how your organization approaches change.
