Change and transformation are permanent features of our landscape. It often seems that the only constant is change – and the pace of that change is accelerating. This permanent “white water” of change requires employees to frequently operate outside their comfort zone and push the boundaries of their ability to adapt. 
Not surprisingly, studies indicate that up to 75% of change initiatives fail. When you consider the high costs when these efforts go wrong — not only financially but in confusion, lost opportunity, wasted resources, and diminished morale —individuals ultimately need to do their jobs differently. Change management provides a framework that mitigates risk and results in faster speed of adoption, higher utilization, and greater efficiency. 
This session will demonstrate how to accelerate results by deploying change management processes, discuss tools and techniques for more effective change management as well as critical success factors and practical tips for improved performance.
