Sustaining Change: Making It Stick

Sustaining Change: Making It Stick

Change management is an ongoing priority in many organizations today. Most change is not simply a one-time event that has a beginning, middle, and end, but rather individual and organizational change is inherently dynamic. Sustaining Change: Making It Stick will help you, as a change leader, with the critical task of making change stick in ways that offer benefits and advantages at the individual, team and organizational levels. You will learn key elements and tools for reinforcing change from both a task and people point of view. You will gain leadership and engagement strategies to support success through the post-implementation phase of change.

This workshop utilizes short lectures, small and large group guided discussions, case examples, and practical application activities to ensure an interactive learning experience for participants.

This course is also available in French as "Soutenir e changement: pour qu’il soit durable".
