John Palinkas
People are naturally resistant to change. We prefer the pain of
what we know to the fear of what we don’t. However, overcoming this
resistance and driving behavioral change is the key to a successful management
adoption. It is what must occur to transform your organization
in a way that actually solves your most important business problems.
Effectively leading organizational change is what will be the difference
between your new IT system’s adoption having a lasting impact or merely
being a “flash in the pan.”
In this session, you will learn key insights about the nature of
resistance, the resulting barriers to change, and techniques that will
help you overcome them to have a lasting impact. We will answer
questions such as:
- Why your tool
and process improvement efforts fail to deliver the full value you expect
- How you can
break through change barriers such as inertia and apathy
- How to structure
a team that can overcome these barriers and build momentum
- Why you must
create a focused governance structure to protect your effort
- How to create
deep engagement throughout your entire organization.

Whether you are meeting
a new boss, changing jobs or looking for your next promotion, managing

difference in interactions with others. We all have our own unique
style of communicating with others.
Join Linda Trignano of Trignano Consulting and learn some of the
subtle yet important ways we all communicate and how you can use this knowledge
to your advantage in making the best impression you possibly can
