Today's turbulent world of shorter cycles, zero defects, new technology, merging companies, metrics by the minute, and leadership from outside the industry, managing change is critical for survival.
It is critical for every business to appreciate and properly manage change in order to attain and maintain their success. Change is also required by anyone who wants to develop, grow and reach their personal goals. This workshop reviews the challenges presented by change, helps participants understand underlying and inhibiting factors of managing change, and identifies the successes which only change can bring.
