Overview
Businesses started embracing change management as a formal discipline when the pace of change was relatively controlled, when the dust had time to settle. Today’s nature of change is fundamentally different: fast-paced, ongoing, and disruptive.
Yet, organizations continue to rely on methods, mindsets and structures designed for the old nature of change. Not surprisingly, they struggle with the transformation imperative of the new normal.
In this highly dynamic and interactive keynote, thought-leader Edmond points to five mindset shifts that are necessary to move from sluggish to nimble. These shifts mean:
- Rethinking the overall approach to change management.
- Debunking the myth of the importance of Executive Sponsorship.
- Moving away from the centralized approach to change capability building that has been prevalent until now.
- Seriously challenging the usefulness of mainstream approaches to change management (Prosci and the likes).
- Revisiting how we deal with corporate politics during times of change.
In essence, it is about pivoting from traditional change management – which is sluggish by design – to Nimble Change Leadership™.
Edmond delivers this keynote with the passion, humour, and engaging style that are his trademarks.
Note: the infographic below captures the five mindset shifts.
