  Launching into the New Beginning

  Combating Change Fatigue, Resistance & Cynicism with "Ideal State Mentality"
  

  We often use the term "New Normal" to describe a temporary state. But what happens when you're creating a "new normal" every day - what impact does that have on you, your team, your organization, and those who choose to follow you? As we change daily, weekly, monthly, especially during a crisis, we can cause Change Fatigue, Resistance and Cynicism, moving too quickly without really solidifying what the current state is supposed to look like, and calling each new change a "new normal." As change professionals, we are looked at to support and facilitate people through change through processes, communications, behaviors, and a slew of other enablers. During this episode, we'll focus on how we can change our vocabulary to "Creating an Ideal State," ensuring that we anchor our people to a New Beginning to provide a sense of control, even if it is for a day. And, we'll answer your burning questions related to this topic! 

  Every third Tuesday of the month hosted by our ACMP Midwest President,  Stephanie Waite. Discover and discuss change trends, provocative change topics and ideas that will leave you thinking differently than when you started the conversation. Join us for a quick 30 minutes to connect, think differently, and chew on something new!

  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.
