Organizations in every industry are experiencing constant and dramatic change due to technological advancements (mobility and artificial intelligence), demographic shifts (Millennials), changing social norms (the gig economy) and transparency of information (think big data).  HR departments are often the implementers of change within their organization and must approach transitions with a defined plan for success. This session will detail a proven change enablement (not management) methodology that can be utilized by organizations in any industry to effectively assess organizational readiness, ensure a consistently shared vision, facilitate communication, and secure leadership and stakeholder commitment. Using this model as the prototype, organizations can ensure a timely transition with minimal disruptions for both employees and clients.
