Session 6 – December 9, 2009 – 4 pm – Eastern Time

Change management is frequently described by catchy phrases like “the soft stuff is the hard stuff,” but human resistance to change is a powerful force that can surface during a low impact change (a new administrative form) or a high impact change, such as a shift in product line. How do you move change management from abstract notion to real-world change management practices and influence people to change behavior?
-Activities that bring change management techniques down to earth.
-Understanding the critical roles in a transformational change effort
-DOA: Why most change initiatives fail before they start
-Resistance management IS change management
-Bringing it home: what works, what doesn’t and why
You will leave this session with an increased understanding of how to apply change management principles in the real world. You will also create job aids to help you motivate people to thrive during times of change.
