TOPIC

"Strategies for Making Change Stick"

Based on his Bio, you could say Jeff Panning has been in the business of CHANGE throughout his
entire career. Getting people from point A to point B, from the current-state to the future-
state, whether it’s been related to software, hardware, processes, or services.
Some project outcomes have been better than others. Some change adoption has been
better than others. Admittedly, there have been failures in projects and change
adoption.
From the experience and occasional failures comes two realizations. First, successful
change adoption adds value and competitive advantage for the organization. Second,
this must be proactively managed, it doesn’t happen by chance.
Adopting to change faster than your competition has the following advantages:
       ✅ It enable you to attract the top talent
       ✅ It helps you meet your growth and performance goals faster
       ✅ It helps you adapt faster to ongoing external environment challenges and opportunities

“Strategies for Making Changes Stick” will answer the following questions for
participants:
    1. Why is change management important to projects and organizations?
    2. How can we improve at change adoption for our projects?
    3. How can we manage resistance to change?
    4. How can we better integrate change management into projects?
