(Formerly titled "Implementation: Addressing Barriers and Conflict")

This workshop addresses the particular challenge of moving from a strategy to actual implementation. While planning is essential, the best-laid plans soon meet organizational realities. Resistance, politics, uncertainty, capacity for discipline and follow-through, and an ever-changing landscape can all be problematic. This workshop addresses the critical "how-to's" of implementing and sustaining organizational change while the organizational and environmental context continues to shift. You will consider your current change effort from both strategic and tactical perspectives.

Key Topics

  • The campaign analogy: maneuvering through political, cultural, and technical challenges
  • Aligning change with the organization's strategy and key stakeholder interests
  • The guideposts of vision, values, purpose
  • Using milestones, events, and symbolism to foster momentum
  • Renegotiating expectations and roles
  • Understanding the principles of participation, diffusion, and process
  • Identifying support mechanisms that will sustain momentum

Who Will Benefit

Organizational leaders responsible for managing change initiatives to achieve strategic outcomes; facilitators and consultants working with the sponsors and drivers of change
