Event Date / Time: 14th May 2019 – 5:30pm to 8:00pm (AEDT)

When change is volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous –

When constant change is the new black –

We cannot rely on a select few to manage the people side of change.

This presentation describes the brave new world we are in right now or are about to be faced with.

When change is fast and iterative and subject to alteration in outcomes itself, how do you manage the people side of change.

How do you communicate and engage when the outcomes are not yet known. You can’t!

We have to stop talking about resistance to change and start talking about resilience.

You will learn why we need to simplify the roles involved in the people side of change and how change has to be everyone’s business. That means YOU.

 

What they are saying:

“Karen’s presentation challenged conventional wisdom about organisational change. Her thought provoking material had participants talking about the content long after her presentation ended. If you missed it at Convergence in Melbourne in 2018, then be sure to catch it when you can.”
– Lena Ross – Author, Hacking for Agile Change

 

“Karen’s presentation simplified the roles needed in organisational change management. Her soccer analogy resonated with everyone in the room. It was clear what was needed to build a resilient workforce and a winning team.”
– Adrian Amore, Owner Icomm Australia
