Presentation Title: Organizational Change Management – Foundations and Challenges
Presenter: Kevin L. Turgeon
Presentation Summary: The pace of change in modern organizations is greater than it has ever been, and it is only expected to increase in the foreseeable future. Simply put, modern organizations must continually change and improve in order to be successful. For years, organizations have focused on growing their process improvement and project management capabilities in order to meet the continually increasing pace of change. Recently, however, organizations have started to shift their focus. While the fields of process improvement and project management remain as relevant as ever, organizations are now beginning to understand that even the best designed and planned change initiatives depend on the buy-in and acceptance of human beings in order to be successful; organizational change is human change – and human change is deeply personal and not always rational. The field of change management has grown in response to the need for organizations to better understand and guide the human side of change. Organizations that master change management will be well positioned to continue to change, improve, and succeed.
Attendees Will Learn:
-
The most up-to-date research on the need for and benefits of formal organizational change management
-
The impact of prospect theory on our modern understanding of the rationality of human decision making
-
The ADKAR method of individual human change and how this method can be expanded to organizational change
