Description
Successfully leading your organization through change is at the core of process improvement. Because our professional success depends on being effective change leaders, let’s step back, explore, and improve our leadership process. Many people have written about the change process. What do twentieth century process models tell us about change? What do twenty-first century models tell us? What insights do these models contain? Steve will intrigue you with a story about a technology change that happened during the turn of twentieth century. He will connect the story to a change model and analyze the story and derive lessons from it using that model. He will poke fun at a few models that people experience but rarely discuss. He will ask you about where you are having difficulty leading change and he will speak to those problems. Join Steve for an entertaining and informative presentation about change leadership.
