Webcast Description:
How can we better understand the effects of change on our organizations and on the people in them? During this webcast, Kathryn Deiss will provide several models which can serve as lenses through which to view change. 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
