All good leaders understand that without change, there is no improvement, and yet so many change efforts fail not because the wrong tools or approach were used, but because there lacked a clear roadmap and intentional action to make the change successful. To make matters worse, many organizational leaders feel unsure, unprepared, and even “lost” when it comes to executing a change effort. In this session, Chris will demonstrate a process for assessing which elements of effective change are missing in your improvement efforts, and the specific targeted strategies to enable a smooth implementation of change. This process can be applied to any change effort, from a specific project to a full deployment.
