Webcast Description:
How can we better understand the effects of change on our organizations and on the people in them?

Tools such as the models and techniques for helping people through change will be provided.

After this webcast, participants will:

Be able to use two frameworks for explaining the dynamics of change
Understand types of change and that not all change is the same
Understand and be able to develop strategies for working with “resistance” to change
