Most organizational change initiatives fail-not because of poor strategy, but because people don't adopt the change. Research from the CEB Corporate Leadership Council found that only 34% of major change initiatives fully achieve their goals, even as the average organization undergoes five significant changes every three years. The result: wasted investment, resistance, and long-term disruption.
If you're responsible for implementing new systems, processes, or organizational changes without formal change management training, you are exposed to significant risk.
In this 90-minute virtual live session, you'll gain a practical introduction to Organizational Change Management (OCM) and learn how to improve adoption, reduce resistance, and support successful transformation outcomes. You'll discover how people actually experience change, why even well-planned initiatives fail, and what successful organizations do differently to drive real engagement and lasting results.
Whether you're a project manager, business leader, or someone supporting change informally, this session will give you the tools and perspective to manage change more effectively-starting immediately.
Why you should Attend:
Change is no longer an occasional disruption-it's a constant in today's organizations. Yet most professionals tasked with leading or supporting change initiatives have never received formal training in how to do it effectively. The result? Resistance, low adoption, missed timelines, and failed transformations.
This session gives you a clear, structured framework for understanding and managing change. You'll walk away with practical strategies to improve stakeholder engagement, reduce friction, and drive adoption. If change is part of your work, this knowledge is no longer optional. It's essential for success.
