The Conference Board in the U.S. has characterized change management in the current environment as "urgent, significant, and difficult," as demographics, technology, and economic turmoil combine to challenge the most fundamental aspects of organizations, management, and society.
After the strategies and plans are agreed upon, they still need to be implemented. Join us and find out how to bring people together to make things happen, how to lead and engage others in the change initiative, and how to keep them committed to a common vision in the face of adversity.
