    Topic: Leading Organizational Change: How HR can most effectively support change sponsors & champions

    70% of large-scale organizational changes fail, typically because change champions don’t plan for the people side of change. HR business partners are pivotal to change success. Disruptive change can jeopardize your human capital investment by lowering productivity, increasing turnover, and making future change initiatives more difficult. The good news: There are proven practices to implement change that encourage long-term resiliency and organizational health while minimizing change fatigue. During this workshop we will discuss the role HR business partners can play in improving change outcomes, focusing on major levers of successful change.

    Objectives:

    • Understand the major drivers of organizational change, and the importance of effective organizational change management (OCM)
    • Recognize the unique role that HR plays as trusted change advisors
    • Explore the interplay between an organization’s culture and how it navigates change
    • Understand the power of narrative in strengthening the case for change and making meaning in change implementation
    • Identify practical strategies and tactics for communicating change effectively.
    • Bonus: Coaching to apply best-practices in OCM to participants’ specific, real-world change challenges

    Change is inevitable, but transformation is your choice. Are you ready to transform how your enterprise works?
