The practice of individual and organisational change is full of models, myths and mayhem. Frequently, change efforts focus solely on communication plans or structural changes. The result is often a Boom-Splat phenomenon where there is much hype about a change, and then it is quickly forgotten or called a failure in the organisation. This session focuses on how leaders create effective and sustainable change. It addresses issues such as:
|
|
Research-based practices that impact effectiveness of change processes
|
|
|
Moving from ‘resistance to change’ to understanding and addressing responses to change, to build commitment and support
|
|
|
How managers can effectively encourage positive reactions to change

Every day, business and HR leaders make decisions intended to improve organisation and individual performance. For example: What actions will we take to retain key talent? Should we differentiate pay? What actions should we take to drive customer satisfaction or to translate the Vision to reality? Too often, these decisions are based on myth and misinformation. To create true value for their business, HR leaders must make, shape and execute decisions based on the best available evidence of what works. Please join us in a lively and interactive session in which you'll learn more about evidence-based management and how you can create value by using an evidence-based approach in HR to guide decision-making.
