  About This Event

  

  With advances in Talent Management technology in the workplace, companies have more resources than ever before to help connect the ideal worker to critical opportunities in their businesses. However, to realize the benefits of these new resources, companies need to change their internal paradigms with respect to talent and career development. This session will look at one company's journey to shift to a skills-based job strategy that seeks to connect the employees with the most critical skills gained from upskilling and reskilling to the critical opportunities that give the company a critical advantage. 

  During the session, we will discuss how to leverage the skills employees gain from reskilling and upskilling to build a skills-based job strategy.  Additionally, we will discuss once a job strategy is implemented, how to connect the learner to opportunities within the organization that leverage the employee's active skills.

  Navigating Change – Exploring Two Popular Approaches

  
  

  Hile Rutledge, President & Principal Consultant, OKA

  
  

  About This Event

  

  In this interactive session, OKA’s Hile Rutledge will take participants through two different and actionable approaches to change and change management – (1) a compelling change model rooted in grief research and (2) a tool-based approach, the Change Style Indicator (CSI). With interactive components, small group discussion, and a learning aid to help make these data actionable, this presentation should be an impactful (and fun) way to add to your leadership, team, and training toolkits.

  Participants will:

  ·        Create a personalized case study—to help them apply change insight to real life events

  ·        Explore the Change Style Indicator (CSI), the world’s most popular change style assessment

  ·        Learn about a change model that is rooted in the human cycle of grief

  ·        Receive a summary of the presentation that summarizes both change approaches and suggests next step actions

  EXTRA BONUS:  As an additional benefit, those attending the live event will receive a discount toward CSI certification from OKA!
