Change Management Pairs With _______
“Change management pairs nicely with...” is an open-ended statement with huge potential. It helps us imagine how change management comes alongside innovation, design thinking, project management, leadership and more. This year, Tim Creasey, Chief Innovation Officer, was a guest speaker on numerous podcasts focused on supporting people through change and getting the most out of other disciplines and initiatives.

“Change management takes change management” means you are applying change management principles to “doing change management” as the change being introduced. Join Karen Ball, EVP of Development and Marketing, and Susanne Gross, Engagement Leader and Senior Change Advisor, to learn what to do when the change you are trying to manage is getting others to buy in to change management. In this interactive webinar, we will apply Prosci models and have a conversation about removing blockers and creating momentum for “doing change management” with a focus on practical and actionable guidance.
Activating Sponsors
The fact that effective sponsorship is a top contributor to change success is no surprise. Neither is the fact that many change practitioners still struggle to get the caliber of sponsorship they need from senior leaders. In this webinar, Tim Creasey will guide you through specific actions you can take to enlist (with context and language), engage (in a symbiotic relationship), and empower (by building competencies) the leaders you need to step up as great change sponsors.
Measuring Impact
Defining success for your change initiative is a critical first step for measuring the contribution of change management to benefits realization. Your primary sponsor should be actively involved in defining success and to obtain their involvement you need to be able to explain the concept of “benefits contribution” to them in a compelling manner. In this interactive webinar, Lisa Kempton and Andrew Horlick will explain the why, what, how and when of defining and measuring success.
