A Change Intelligent® Approach to Leadership and Development during Organizational Transformation

It’s easy to see how times of crisis and the resulting need for organizational transformation present major challenges for leaders.

Yet, each challenge should be seen as an opportunity – a goldmine for developing talent and forging positive partnerships up, down, and across organizations. If led appropriately, change creates a strategic, value-added role for HR and Talent Development professionals to play: to help leaders navigate through sharp edges and find real solutions that work.

Organizational transformation presents challenges that can easily become “pop-up learning labs” to simultaneously meet demands as well as develop deep capability; however, many organizations make mistakes that foster fear in the workforce, perpetuate outmoded norms, and promote behaviors inconsistent with what it will take to thrive in the future. There is so much information from classic psychological theory to modern neuroscience research that we can use to avoid these mistakes and instead, capitalize on proven methods to achieve meaningful and sustainable results for our people and our organizations.

Join us to learn what works and what doesn’t so you can leverage change for good.  Together we will explore a Change Intelligent^® approach to organizational transformation:

• How to engage the heart by leading change in a way that reduces the threat response and increases the probability that people will be open to exploring the positive possibilities
• How to enlighten the head by helping people at all levels “see” the need to change and the line-of-sight between themselves and the goal at a visceral level
• How to equip the hands by facilitating courageous conversations about the rhetoric versus the reality of how processes such as reward systems are helping versus hurting adoption of new behaviors
