About our presentation:
Leading organizational change is often difficult. There is plenty of literature that suggests the vast majority of organizational change initiatives fail. You may have personal experience with such failures. Anyone with project management or organizational change work experience certainly does. In fact, organizational change has frustrated executive level leaders and project level managers for decades. Why? Scholars and practitioners alike are stymied by this question. Answering the question "why" is becoming increasingly important. Even more important is answering the question "how." How do organizations successfully plan, lead, and sustain change? Grounded in scientific research and business best practice, this presentation addresses both the why and the how.
