A Communication Template for Change Initiatives
The presentation is highly interactive, thought provoking and guaranteed to generate good, deep, discussion about how Change is, and should be, implemented in an organization. It is also, unavoidably fun.
Ask most managers this simple question, “Do people resist Change” – and their answer will be an enthusiastic and uncompromising “Yes!”
If you’re in charge (Or think you’re in control) of Change – then it’s necessary to understand that some of our beliefs surrounding Change are Myths – and that acting as if those myths were true, make Change more difficult than it needs to be.
Once those myths are put to the side, there’s huge opportunity to transform Change from the threat that we seem to think it is, to a situation ripe with possibilities. Change, regardless of our views about it, is how we grow – it’s also necessary to understand that sometimes, when we’re surrounded by start-ups and new technologies – Change is necessary just in order to maintain our position in our industry.
