HR Leading Change Campaigns
3 Day Program
Changing individual behavior is the most difficult task in a large-scale, complex strategic change initiative. Cornell ILR’s Human Capital Development program, Leading Change Campaigns, enables HR Practitioners and Business Leaders to leverage the collective energy of the organization and tap into the promise of future benefits as they emerge. By identifying the symbolic and practical signposts of a future state, leaders can systematically employ them as the building blocks and catalysts for sustainable change. During this three (3) day in-depth program join change leaders from other organizations to examine and practice the four elements of a faster and more effective change campaign:
- Listening In To discover where innovation is already taking place in the organization and who is behind it.
- Creating a Strategic Theme To mobilize people and give direction.
- Sweeping People In To build critical mass.
- Building the Infrastructure To support the people who are taking risks and to institutionalize the new practices they're creating
During the workshop participants will develop an action plan and apply techniques, tools and methods to their own organizational change initiative.
