What You’re Getting Wrong About Change Management: And How To Fix It With A Project Mindset

Wednesday, May 28th

We’ve all seen change management go wrong.

Whether it’s a failure to communicate that the snacks in the break room should no longer be fed to office pets, or a companywide tool migration that didn’t get buy-in from key stakeholders within an organization — we know it when we see it.

So why is change management so hard? What is it that doesn’t quite compute in our lizard brains, so much so that people rarely get it right, even when it really, really matters.

If you’ve wanted to improve the way you manage change within your team, your organization, or even just in the context of your projects, this session is for you.

We’ve assembled a panel of leading experts on change management to go beyond the stereotypical best practices and dig into the nuances of helping humans navigate change — from a psychological perspective, from a project management perspective, and from a leadership perspective.

It’s a live event, so anything can happen! But I’m confident you’ll come away with…

  • The language to describe why change management is hard and why it should be taken seriously
  • An understanding of who to engage, when, and how — in order to set up your high stakes change initiative for success
  • A foundation for using project management skills to keep large change initiatives organized and well-communicated
  • A sense of your role as a change leader and what it takes to be a strong change champion

Join this session live for a chance to win 1 of 3 free downloads of The Change Cheat Code by Suzanne Rudnitzki and Dr. Liz Lance. The entries will be open to US residents only.
