2 hours, half-day, or full-day
OVERVIEW
How will you prepare for the roadblocks ahead? Handling the volume and frequency of change today means we must become better at adjusting on the fly and adapting to evolving expectations and requirements. When employees are faced with too many change priorities, aren’t sure how to proceed, and aren’t even sure that an initiative is good for the organization, they take a wait-and-see attitude, looking to their bosses for direction and to their co-workers for clues about which aspects matter the most. This sort of uncertainty, deep down in an organization, can keep a change initiative from gaining momentum.
