Do you wish your talent development efforts had more of an impact on your organization? As a professional in the talent development field, your role likely requires getting other people to change the way they work – their processes, behaviors, capabilities, attitudes and, ultimately, their results. Your ability to design and influence change is critical in today’s workplace.

This hands-on full day workshop will equip you with the fundamental tools and skills to facilitate the adoption of change in your organization. You’ll learn change management principles while applying them to your own project, and will leave with practical steps you can take to make meaningful progress on your initiatives.

You will benefit from attending this workshop if you:

• are planning a project, and want to figure out how to get people to adopt the new way of doing things, or are in the middle of a project that isn't going as well as you hoped
