Change Management -T&D’s Role in Moving from Strategy to Successful Execution

Change Management

Training & Development's Role

 in Moving from

Strategy to Successful Execution

When it comes to steering your company through the hairpin curves of organizational change, are you in the passenger’s seat or the driver’s seat?

Too often, learning and development professionals take a reactive, rather than a proactive, approach to change management. We find ourselves implementing other managers’ strategic plans, rather than initiating change management strategies on our own.

This hands-on, interactive presentation will use activities, YouTube, and a case study to help participants:

• Recognize change when it is happening and get to the root causes of organizational issues
• Adopt specific strategies for taking a proactive role in managing change
• Determine if training solutions are appropriate for managing change – and pushing back if they are not
• To determine where the road blocks and barriers exist in organization change
• Apply a simple model for turning strategy into execution within the learning and development environment
