“Leading Change with Clarity, Communication, and Commitment”
This virtual roundtable reframes organizational change by acknowledging that the term has become overused and often misunderstood. Real change isn’t about small adjustments—it requires fundamentally rethinking how an organization operates.
Drawing from practical experience, the session introduces a clear framework: identify the deeper “why,” understand that people move through change at different speeds, map and segment stakeholders, communicate with intention, execute consistently, and use continuous improvement to sustain progress. Throughout, the emphasis is on the human side of change—clarity, involvement, and transparency.
Interactive polling and panel questions help participants reflect on their own experiences and common challenges. The session closes with key lessons learned: people are more open to change than we assume, they want to understand how it affects them, and early involvement builds commitment and better results.
