MAY SESSION:
Managing Organizational & Personal Change
Session 7 of 7
Date: Tuesday, May 23rd
Time: 8:30 am – 12:00 pm
Description: As both internal and external sources and forces of change act upon an individual, the ability to proactively prepare for and/or effectively react to a modification in “what is” allows fora cohesive transition of our behavior as the situation warrants. Through awareness of how change can affect our actions, and gaining an understanding of the value and reasons for change, we can better assimilate our progression and acceptance of the changes at hand while being an advocate and champion for the opportunities that may come to our role going forward. Also understanding the overall change process and methods, practices and techniques to help facilitate change are discussed. Many organizations have great ideas and intentions, but many fail due to poor planning and poor implementation.
