Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to learn about effective change
management from the pro’s!

Workshop Overview

Most change programs simply don’t live up to people’s original hopes and expectations
in terms of the results they deliver. The programs frequently are designed
in ways that are overly complex, take too long to offer positive reinforcement,
place too many burdens on participants, and fall down of their own weight.

Charlie Baum and Lorne Blackman will
present a well-tested alternative based on the premise that successful change
programs deliberately begin with results. They will show how within 2-3 months,
clients can achieve significant bottom-line results that serve as building
blocks for larger scale change. Not only do clients achieve rapid results,
they also begin building organizational “capital” for more – momentum, energy,
skills, capacity. This approach has been the subject of numerous books and
articles, including High Impact Consulting by Robert Schaffer, and the Harvard
Business Review article “Successful Change Programs Begin with Results” by
Robert Schaffer and Harvey Thomson (January 1992 issue).

The session will begin with a presentation on the basic approach, with many
case illustrations of bottom-line success from a variety of sectors. In the
afternoon, participants will apply the concepts to their own situations.

We ask that you bring a real case situation to this workshop – for example,
a project you are working on that would benefit from results now, or a past
project that failed to deliver appropriate grains for your client. By the end
of the session, you should have many ideas for how you can more closely link
your change efforts with client results.

Who should attend: Professionals in management, HR, operations, change management,
consultants, coaches.
