Find a number of programs to help you make progress on your change initiative and develop change capability in your organization. All programs can be customized to best suit your needs, and can be conducted as individual programs, webinars, or in-person workshops.
Inside Influence: Leading Change From the Middle
A common view of change is that it must start from the top of the organization. However, change is often instigated and led from pockets within an organization. In fact many roles, such as IT, engineering, project management, process improvement, strategic planning and internal HR/OD practitioners, require influencing other people in the organization to change the way they work. Since senior leaders can’t do all the work of change, managers and employees further down on the org chart are frequently tapped to take on change in addition to their day job.
In this workshop, we will explore the role of the internal change agent, with its risks, rewards, advantages and challenges. You will learn how to leverage the role and how to best influence organizational change without authority.
The Proper Care of Leaders (So They Help You Implement Change)
The Proper Care of Leaders Program helps change agents navigate their relationships with leaders and gain influence in their organizations so they can get the support they need to successfully implement change.
As a result of this workshop you will be able to:
- Identify whose support you really need, and who you ignore at your own risk
- Explain the dynamics and roles of leading organizational change
- Tell which of five levels of support you have, and which you need
- Recognize the sources of leadership resistance and develop a plan to navigate them
- Gain the support you need to successfully implement change.
Essentials of Organizational Change
To make a difference in your organization, your job requires that you influence and manage change. No doubt 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.
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

This presentation provides the foundation for understanding how an individual can make change happen in a large system. Participants leave with a checklist of things they can personally use to influence change.
