Seven Questions to Ask for Successful Change Management

Add to calendar
New

Effective communication is key to driving change, and it should be a constant activity before, during, and after any change initiative. This isn’t exactly news. The problem arises when the questioning becomes a bit more detailed. What, exactly, should we be communicating? Successful change management requires answers to more than simply the old reporter’s standby of who, what, when, where, and why. Join Peter de Jager as he shares seven more relevant questions for driving change: Why is this particular change necessary now? What if we don’t address this? What will we be doing differently tomorrow? What won’t change? What might go wrong? What will be difficult? And how will we know we’re making progress? Once we understand the importance of these questions and how to answer them, then any change—regardless of the type of change or the industry we work in—becomes easier to communicate. Leave this session better equipped to drive change initiatives within your organization.
