About the Program
Driving Change in Organizations! Can Organizations and People Really Change?
Many of the projects we lead require corporate and culture change to reap full benefits. Managing the need for change can be a key factor in project success. Craig will review the critical role & nature of the organizational change process from both the perspective of the enterprise and the individual. He will focus on the critical factors which enable an organization to successfully navigate the change process and share the key lessons that we have learned from implementing complex change projects within an enterprise context. Craig will also discuss some of the latest findings on the neuroscience of change and implementing change in government.
