Sustaining Change Initiatives – An Exploration
Despite millions of dollars spent annually on Change Initiatives, such as Diversity and Inclusion, Equality, and other systematic programming, statistics show that progress is slow, and most programs ultimately fail.
To gain a deeper understanding of the core issues impacting an organization’s ability to successfully sustain enterprise-wide initiatives, including but not limited to the aforementioned, a small consortium of business coaches with diverse backgrounds, from diverse locations initiated a field study to specifically identify the “barriers.”
In this presentation participants will:
- Explore the core findings from the field study regarding individual, team and organizational “barriers” relative to sustainable change
- Participate in interactive exercises relative to breaking down barriers and increasing the effectiveness of change initiatives
- Engage in thought leadership discussions regarding internal challenges to implementing sustainable change
As one of the first organizations to engage with this material, you will have an opportunity to collaborate with the presenters and participate in a pilot program.
