  Creating Agility in a Time of Dynamic Change

  Continual change in the business environment is the new normal. The pace at which change is occurring is faster than ever before, is more unpredictable, and is coming from all directions. As we are learning from the COVID-19 crisis, the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the environment is no longer a nice to have – it is a must for an organization to survive.

  As change management professionals, our field is pivotal in helping organizations through these rapid and continually changing times. Incorporating agile practices into the organizations we work with can help them successfully ride these waves of change. Organizational Agility provides a foundation for sustained performance as it enables companies to make timely and effective responses to change.

  However, we also need to take into consideration the workers and help them through this tidal wave of change by addressing ‘burnout’ and change fatigue. Practices in this area focused on coping mechanisms and using a positive approach towards change can build long term resilience and thriving.

  Through this session, attendees will gain insight into ways they can help organizations and workers become more agile while maintaining a positive response to change.

  Learning objectives

  1. Understand why we need to help build adaptable organizations. 
  2. Become familiar with the routines of agility that can be blended with your current change management approaches.
  3. Understand practices that can help build resilience and thriving in teams.

  Intended audience
  

  Change management professionals seeking practices to help clients survive and thrive in a dynamic business environment.
