Peter de Jager
All of Peter's work focuses on the issue
of how individuals, and therefore all organizations, assimilate Change.
When consulting, presenting or giving seminars - he has a well deserved
reputation for provoking thought, challenging assumptions and exposing
the real causes behind otherwise perplexing problems.
He speaks from experience with passion,
conviction and a sense of humor. He believes his purpose is to entice
his audience to think deeper about Change and how it affects us.
His goal is to challenge the myths surrounding Change that construct obstacles
in front of successful implementations. While his focus is on the
Management issues surrounding Change, he also speaks on how we look to
the Future and the technologies which bring Change into our lives.
His thoughts on the Management processes
surrounding Change brought about by technology are published regularly
in monthly columns in Computer World, The Globe and Mail, Municipal World,
the ABA Bankers Journal, as well as his own syndicated column on Change
Management.
