Implementing a new system, tool, process or project?

Start with the fundamentals if you want to succeed.

When installing something new, it can feel like you are encountering resistance at every turn.  No one seems to be listening or cooperating, even though it’s your job to get it done!

When I was a young engineer, I frequently became frustrated when coworkers would not just implement the new-and-improved processes I designed.  After banging my head against the wall, I started to realize that my job was more than just making higher quality widgets more efficiently.  Really, I was trying to change the way people work.  After years of education, personal trial and error, and working with clients, I have narrowed down the change process to the ingredients that are essential to success.

Perhaps you, too, would love to improve your workplace and make people’s jobs easier, more efficient, or more meaningful. It doesn’t matter if you are in IT, HR, project management, strategic planning, engineering, sustainability or process improvement. Ultimately, to make a difference in your organization, your job requires that you influence and manage change.

I have no doubt that you are already good at figuring out what people should be doing differently.  The challenge is knowing how to get them to do it.  Once you know the fundamental ingredients to implementing change, you can move from being a discouraged professional to a bonafide change agent.

8:00 a.m. Pacific / 11:00 a.m. Eastern

In this 2-part online series, you will gain clarity about your own project through the lens of organizational change.  This unique series includes an assessment, a workbook, and three hours learning the fundamentals of change.

When you sign up for Essentials of Organizational Change, you’ll get:

• The Flash Point Change Assessment - Before you start the program, you’ll complete a questionnaire to evaluate your change initiative in 8 key areas.  You will also receive a personal report detailing what you are doing well and where you might get stuck.
• Two 90-minute Group Webinar Sessions - Learn the essentials of organizational change and share experiences with fellow professionals.
• The Change Starts Here Workbook - As homework between the sessions, you will complete the workbook, which contains a 4-step process for gaining clarity about your initiative.
• Session audio recordings - A record of the webinars, so you can revisit all the valuable information we discussed.
• Bonus #1:  Influence Factors - A checklist of 99 strategies to help people change, a quick-start guide for when you are feeling stuck.
• Bonus #2:  Two article reprints - "Tips for Getting Your Project Approved" and “8 Fundamental Ingredients of a Successful Change Initiative.”

I don’t believe in just teaching concepts in my programs.  My goal is for you to gain clarity and make progress on your initiative even before the series is over.  At the same time, you’ll learn a repeatable process for your next initiative.

After this program you will:

• Understand how change works
• Gain clarity about what you are really trying to change
• Know the areas you need to work on so you don’t get stuck
• Step into the role of change agent
  

If your job requires changing the way people work, you won’t want to miss this concentrated dose of practical insights!
